Professional Custom Mantels in Ottawa
Why Choose Professional
Is Your Fireplace Lacking the “Wow” Factor?
Do you walk into your living room and feel like your fireplace is unfinished, dated, or simply uninspiring? A fireplace without a mantel is like a painting without a frame—it lacks character, functionality, and a sense of completion. Many Ottawa homeowners struggle with the anxiety of trying to mount a heavy, expensive beam themselves onto brick or stone, fearing it might fall or, worse, violate fire safety codes. You desire a warm, inviting hearth that reflects your personal style, but the technical challenges of Custom Mantels Ottawa keep you from moving forward.
At My Ottawa Handyman, we eliminate the stress of fireplace renovations. We specialize in the design and installation of Custom Mantels Ottawa residents can be proud of. Whether you have a heritage home in the Glebe or a modern build in Kanata, our team brings professional tools and years of woodworking experience to every project. We handle the “tricky” stuff—like mounting to uneven stone or ensuring proper fire clearances—so you can simply enjoy the view. With our 48-hour guarantee and “no job too small” approach, we make high-end fireplace upgrades accessible to everyone.
Powerful Benefits of Choosing Our Service
We believe you should never have to worry about the quality of a home improvement project. Our 48-hour free correction policy means that if you notice any issues with the mounting, level, or finish within two days of installation, we return to fix it for free. This removes the purchase anxiety and ensures you are 100% grateful for the result.
Are you just looking to have a single pre-purchased shelf mounted above your gas fireplace? Many contractors won’t pick up the phone for small tasks, but we thrive on them. Conversely, if you want a full floor-to-ceiling fireplace surround renovation, we have the skills to execute. Our “No Job Too Small” philosophy means every Ottawa homeowner gets the help they need.
Waiting weeks for a callback is frustrating. We pride ourselves on immediate responses. Whether you are planning a living room renovation or need urgent help after a DIY mantel project gone wrong, our 24/7 availability for emergency calls and rapid scheduling for planned projects ensures we are there when you need us.
Fireplace safety is non-negotiable. Our team is well-versed in the heat clearance requirements for combustible materials. When we install your Custom Mantels Ottawa, we ensure the distance between the hearth and the mantel meets safety standards, protecting your home and your family from fire hazards.
A stunning fireplace is one of the top features buyers look for in Ottawa. By upgrading a dated surround with a custom wood mantel, you aren’t just improving your daily living; you are making a cost-effective investment that improves your home’s marketability.
With years of experience serving Ottawa and surrounding communities like Barrhaven and Orleans, we bring a level of craftsmanship that only comes from specialized practice. We are fully licensed, insured, and WSIB-covered, meaning you can trust us to respect your home and deliver long-lasting results.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions about Our Services
The cost of Custom Mantels Ottawa typically ranges from $250 to $850, depending on the material (reclaimed wood vs. stone) and the complexity of the mounting surface. We provide free, no-obligation quotes and offer fixed pricing on most installations so you know exactly what to expect before we start. Every project includes our 48-hour satisfaction guarantee.
Generally, a mantel should be 12 inches above the fireplace opening, but this varies based on your fireplace type and local building codes. We ensure your installation meets the 1-inch-per-inch rule for clearances to ensure fire safety while maintaining a perfect visual balance.
We use specialized masonry anchors and internal steel “invisible” brackets for floating looks. For heavier beams, we may use lag bolts hidden behind decorative plugs. We ensure the mounting system is rated for at least double the weight of the mantel itself for maximum security.
Most mantel installations are completed within 2 to 4 hours. If we are also doing masonry work or a full surround renovation, it may take 1 to 2 days. We prioritize an efficient, clean work process to minimize disruption to your home.
We follow the Ontario Building Code (OBC) and the CSA B149.1 standards. This ensures that combustible materials are kept at a safe distance from heat sources, preventing scorched wood or fire risks.
Yes, we offer an iron-clad satisfaction guarantee. If your mantel isn’t level or if there are any issues with the mounting within 48 hours, we return to fix it at no cost.
