Expert Child Proofing Services Ottawa
Why Choose Professional
SERVICES FROM MY OTTAWA HANDYMAN?
Watching your little one start to crawl or walk is one of the most exciting milestones in parenthood, but it also brings a wave of anxiety. Suddenly, your cozy home feels like an obstacle course of sharp corners, steep stairs, and accessible cabinets. You know you need to secure your environment, but finding the time to research the right products and the skill to install them correctly can be overwhelming. Many parents struggle with DIY solutions that fail, gates that damage walls, or locks that are too difficult for adults to operate.
You don’t have to navigate this stressful phase alone or rely on flimsy plastic gadgets that don’t hold up. My Ottawa Handyman offers the professional child proofing services Ottawa families rely on for absolute peace of mind. We take the guesswork out of home safety by providing expert installation of high-quality baby gates, furniture anchors, and cabinet locks. Whether you need a single stair gate installed in Barrhaven or a comprehensive whole-home safety overhaul in the Glebe, we are here to help. Our “no job too small” promise and immediate response times mean you can make your home safe for your child today, without the headache.
Powerful Benefits of Choosing Our Service
We know that when it comes to your child’s safety, there is no room for error. That is why we offer an industry-leading guarantee. If you are not completely satisfied with the installation or functionality of any safety device we install, we will return within 48 hours to correct the issue at no additional cost. This “no questions asked” policy removes the risk from your decision and ensures that your safety systems work exactly as you need them to.
Many contractors in Ottawa will not return a call for a “small” job like installing two baby gates or anchoring a bookshelf. We operate differently. We understand that even one unsecured staircase is a major risk. Whether you need a quick fix for a single hazard or a complete safety renovation for a new home, we are happy to help. We are committed to keeping Ottawa’s children safe, one project at a time.
Babies don’t wait for contractors to clear their schedules—they start crawling and climbing overnight. We offer immediate response times and flexible scheduling to address your safety concerns as soon as they arise. You shouldn’t have to live in a state of high alert for weeks while waiting for an installation. We can often assess and secure your home within days of your initial call.
The effectiveness of a baby gate or furniture anchor depends entirely on how well it is installed. A gate that is not mounted into a stud can fail when pushed, and a dresser anchor that isn’t secured properly offers false security. Our team uses professional techniques and stud finders to ensure every device is mounted into solid structural elements. We deliver rock-solid stability that DIY methods simply cannot match.
Professional child proofing is an investment in both safety and your property. Improperly installed gates can ruin expensive banisters and leave gaping holes in drywall. We use specialized mounting kits and protective hardware that secure your gates firmly without destroying your woodwork. This approach saves you money on future home repairs while providing the highest level of protection for your child.
We are a fully insured, local Ottawa business with years of experience working in homes across the region. We are familiar with the common layout challenges in Ottawa neighborhoods, from the narrow staircases in Old Ottawa South to the open-concept layouts in Kanata. Our technicians are courteous, clean, and respectful of your space, treating your home with the same care they would treat their own.
Ottawa Owned. Ottawa Proud.
Child proofing is about more than just buying a few plastic plugs for your outlets; it is about creating a secure environment where your child can explore safely and you can relax. Our child proofing services Ottawa go beyond simple handy-work. We bring a safety-first mindset to every project, identifying hazards you might have missed and providing durable, custom solutions.
Our process begins with a consultation to understand your specific needs and the unique layout of your home. We understand that every staircase is different—some have metal banisters, others have drywall, and some are curved. Standard store-bought gates often fail in these scenarios. We specialize in custom mounting solutions that are secure yet minimize damage to your woodwork. From anchoring heavy dressers to prevent tip-overs to installing magnetic locks that keep chemicals out of reach while remaining invisible from the outside, we handle every detail with meticulous care.
We also understand that aesthetics matter. You want your home to be safe, but you don’t want it to look like a prison. We select high-quality materials and finishes that blend seamlessly with your home decor. Plus, with our 48-hour iron-clad guarantee, you can test every latch and gate to ensure it works perfectly for your family. If anything feels off, we come back and fix it for free.

Sarah M., Westboro
"I had a list of about ten small things that had been bugging me for years—a sticking door, some drywall cracks, and a wobbly deck railing. Other contractors wouldn't even return my call for such 'small' work. My Ottawa Handyman came out to Westboro, gave me a fixed price for the whole list, and finished it all in one day. I felt so relieved!"
Jennifer M., Westboro
"I was terrified of drilling into our new oak banister to install a baby gate. I called My Ottawa Handyman, and I am so glad I did. They used a mounting kit that didn't require drilling into the wood at all, yet the gate is rock solid. The technician was polite, efficient, and even cleaned up the sawdust. It’s a relief to know my daughter is safe near the stairs."
Priya K., Barrhaven
"I needed some home repair Ottawa services to get my house ready for sale in Barrhaven. They fixed a leaky faucet, caulked the bathtub, and touched up the baseboards. The house looked brand new for the open house. Their immediate response helped us list on time."
David C., Orleans
"We just moved to a new house in Orleans and realized our toddler could open all the cabinets. We needed child proofing services Ottawa immediately. The team came out the next day and installed magnetic locks on every cabinet in the kitchen and bathrooms. They work perfectly, and you can't even see them. The peace of mind is worth every penny."
Robert L., Alta Vista
"As a senior living in Alta Vista, I can't climb ladders anymore. I hired them to clean my gutters and change some high floodlights. The technician was so polite and patient. He even noticed a loose shingle and fixed it while he was up there. It's hard to find that level of care these days."
Wei T., Kanata
"I tried to install a TV mount myself and hit a metal stud. I didn't have the right tools. I called them, and they sent someone the same afternoon. He had the right anchors and had the TV up in 20 minutes. The 'No Job Too Small' promise is the real deal."
Elena R., Orleans
"We had a general contractor Ottawa cancel on us last minute for a bathroom vanity install. My Ottawa Handyman stepped in and saved the day. The plumbing connections are tight, and the vanity looks great. The 48-hour guarantee gave us extra peace of mind."
Sarah L., Barrhaven
"I tried to install a pressure gate at the top of our stairs, and it kept slipping. I found out later that is actually dangerous! My Ottawa Handyman came in and explained why hardware-mounted gates are necessary for stairs. They fixed my mistake and installed a proper gate that is safe and sturdy. The 48-hour guarantee was a nice touch, but the work was perfect from the start."
