We provide flexible scheduling to fit your timeline and maintain 24/7 availability for real emergencies—such as furniture damage during a move or urgent restoration needed for a rental turnover.
We don’t use “off-the-shelf” hardware store solutions for every project.

This attention to detail results in a long-lasting, smooth finish that resists chipping and fading.
Investing in Furniture Painting and Staining is significantly more cost-effective than buying new.

Why Choose Our Professional Furniture Refinishing Ottawa Services?
When it comes to your home, “good enough” is never the standard. Many contractors in the National Capital Region shy away from small furniture projects, preferring only large-scale renovations. At My Ottawa Handyman, we believe every piece tells a story. Our professional furniture painters are trained in the delicate balance of preservation and modernization.
The Complete Refinishing Process: What to Expect
Our approach is thorough and designed for long-lasting results. We don’t just “paint over” the problem.
Consultation & Fixed Pricing: We start with a clear assessment and, where possible, a fixed price so you aren’t surprised by hidden costs.
Hardware Removal & Surface Preparation: We meticulously remove all handles and hinges. This is followed by deep cleaning to ensure no oils or waxes interfere with the new finish.
Sanding & Repair: Using professional-grade tools, we perform a detailed sanding of the surface. We address any deep scratches or dents in the solid wood or veneer before proceeding.
Primer & Base Coat: For painted finishes, we apply a high-adhesion primer to prevent bleed-through. For wood staining services, we apply a conditioner to ensure even absorption.
Professional Application: Whether using a fine-finish sprayer or hand-applying a lacquer, we ensure a seamless, smooth finish without unsightly drips.
Top Coat Protection: We seal every piece with a durable polyurethane or top coat to protect against daily wear and tear.
By focusing on these technical details, we transform a stressful chore into a thorough, efficient, and beautiful home upgrade.

This depends on the condition of the wood and your desired look. Wood staining services are ideal if you want to highlight the natural wood grain of a high-quality solid wood piece. However, if the wood has significant repairs or you want a modern, bold color, painting is the better choice. We can help you decide during our initial consultation.
Yes, proper sanding is the most critical step in the refinishing process. It removes the old clear coat and opens the pores of the wood to ensure even absorption of the stain. Skipping this step often results in a blotchy, uneven finish that will peel over time.
Absolutely. While you cannot stain laminate, you can paint it with the right preparation. We use a high-adhesion primer specifically designed for non-porous surfaces to ensure the paint bonds permanently. This is a great way to update “big box store” furniture for a fraction of the cost of replacement.
Most wood staining services require at least 24 hours to be dry to the touch, but a full cure can take 48 to 72 hours depending on humidity. We recommend waiting at least 3 days before placing heavy items back on a newly stained surface to protect the top coat.

No, you cannot apply stain directly over paint because stain needs to penetrate the wood fibers. To stain a painted piece, we must first strip the paint and perform a deep sanding to reveal the raw wood. This is a labor-intensive process, but the results for antique furniture restoration are often breathtaking.
