SERVICES FROM MY OTTAWA HANDYMAN?

Many Ottawa homeowners feel the frustration of owning high-quality furniture that simply looks dated or worn.

Whether it is a small dresser repair or a complete kitchen cabinet painting Ottawa renovation, we provide the expert touch your home deserves. With our “No Job Too Small” philosophy and a guaranteed 48-hour correction window, we take the risk and the hassle out of your home improvement projects.

We Have Years of Experience in Home Maintenance Business
OUR MISSION IS : To restore trust in the home service industry by providing Ottawa homeowners with reliable, high-quality craftsmanship and a customer experience that makes them feel safe, valued, and respected—no matter the size of the job.
We remove purchase anxiety by offering a free correction policy within 48 hours of project completion. If you notice a missed spot or a finish that isn’t quite right, we return immediately to fix it. This risk-free approach ensures you are 100% satisfied with the transformation of your space.
Unlike many specialized shops that only take “worthy” antiques or massive kitchen sets, we handle everything. From a single chair painting service to complete cabinet refinishing services, we are here for you. We also contrast with smaller, uninsured “gig” workers by providing the professional backup of a fully insured, WSIB-covered team that is capable of finishing even the most complex renovations.
While we specialize in planned transformations, we offer an immediate response for property managers and homeowners in transition. 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. Our team selects specific products—whether it is an oil-based stain, a water-based stain, or a high-durability lacquer—based on the specific wood type and intended use. 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. By refreshing your kitchen cabinets or a high-end dining table, you instantly improve the daily living experience and the market value of your property. It is a time-saving approach that delivers the “wow” factor without the “new furniture” price tag.
With years of experience serving the Ottawa community, our team respects your home like their own. We use tack cloths to ensure a dust-free environment and follow clean work practices that minimize disruption to your household. You aren’t just hiring a handyman; you’re hiring a partner in your home’s aesthetic evolution.
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.

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!"
David C., Kanata
"We manage several rental units in Kanata and need a reliable partner for residential property maintenance. This team is incredible. They handle everything from emergency handyman services when a pipe leaks to turnover repairs like painting and patching. They are fast, professional, and make my job as a landlord much easier."
Sarah M., Ottawa, Kanata
"We were so relieved to find someone for our table staining Ottawa project. Most contractors wouldn't even call us back for a single table. My Ottawa Handyman responded within an hour, gave us a clear price, and the wood grain on our oak table looks stunning now. They were incredibly professional and kept our kitchen spotless."
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."
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 L., Ottawa, Centretown
"Our rental unit needed a quick kitchen cabinet painting update before new tenants moved in. The team handled the emergency timeline perfectly. They were efficient, professional, and the quality exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend them to any landlord in the city."
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."
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."

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.
