What People Are Saying About Us

"We just moved into a new build and needed about ten different IKEA units assembled, plus some heavy mirrors hung. I didn't have the tools or the patience. The team arrived on time, brought their own mats to protect our new floors, and got it done faster than I thought possible. Worth every penny to save my weekend."

"My front door hadn't closed properly in months, which was a huge concern for us during the winter. They came out to Stittsville, realigned the frame, and replaced the weather stripping. The draft is gone and the door clicks shut perfectly now. Great communication throughout."

"I had a list of small things that had been piling up for years—a loose banister, a stuck window, and a hole in the drywall behind a door. Other contractors told me the job was too small to be worth their drive. My Ottawa Handyman gave me a quote the same day and finished everything in three hours. Truly professional."

"My kids put a doorknob through the hallway drywall. I was worried the patch would be obvious since we have textured walls. The repair is literally invisible. I can't find where the hole was. The 48-hour guarantee is great, but we definitely didn't need it."

The toilet in our powder room was constantly running and wobbling. The handyman fixed the flange and replaced the internals quickly. He left the bathroom spotless—you’d never know a tradesperson was there. Excellent service."

"We bought a 75-inch TV and were terrified to mount it ourselves on metal studs in our condo. The technician knew exactly what anchors to use. It’s perfectly level and centered. He even concealed the cables behind the wall for us."

"Our doorbell hadn't worked in years and we had a few dead outlets. It was a quick troubleshooting job for them. Reliable, friendly, and fixed the price upfront so I wasn't watching the clock ticking."

"I needed grab bars installed in the shower for my elderly mother. I was worried about them damaging the tiles. The technician was incredibly careful, used the right diamond bits for the drilling, and the bars are rock solid. It’s given us so much peace of mind."

"I needed a new fence gate built because the old one dragged on the ground and wouldn't latch. They built a custom gate that is sturdy and swings smoothly. They even adjusted the latch so it works in the winter when the wood swells. Great attention to detail."

"We have an older home with unique wood trim that had been damaged by a dog. The handyman matched the profile of the baseboards perfectly. It takes real skill to work on these older Sandy Hill homes. Highly impressed with the craftsmanship."

"Our curtain rods were pulling out of the drywall because the previous owners didn't use anchors. My Ottawa Handyman patched the walls and re-installed them into the studs properly. It’s such a small thing, but it looks so much better. I appreciate that they didn't treat it like a nuisance job."

"We had some ugly, cracked grout in our master shower. Instead of pushing for a full renovation, they suggested a regrouting service. It looks brand new again for a fraction of the price I expected. Honest advice is hard to come by these days."

"I woke up to a leaking kitchen faucet that was ruining the cabinet below. I called at 8 AM and they had someone in the Glebe by noon. They replaced the fixture and even tightened a loose pipe I hadn't noticed. The immediate response saved my kitchen cabinets."

"I bought a new vanity for the bathroom but realized the plumbing didn't align with the existing pipes. I was panic-stricken. The team came out to Westboro, modified the plumbing, and installed the vanity perfectly. They saved my DIY project from disaster."

"Our deck had a few rotting boards that were becoming a safety hazard. They replaced specifically the bad wood and stain-matched it to the rest of the deck, rather than trying to sell me a whole new deck. Prudent, efficient, and honest."

"I wanted to update the lighting in my kitchen from fluorescent tubes to modern fixtures. They handled the swap efficiently and patched the ceiling where the old footprint was larger than the new lights. It completely transformed the room."

"I manage three units in Little Italy and needed a quick turnaround on repairs between tenants (paint touch-ups, blind repair, and a deep clean). My Ottawa Handyman handled it all in one day so I didn't lose any rental income. They are now my go-to for all turnover maintenance."

"As a landlord living out of town, it's hard to find someone I trust to enter my tenants' units. This team communicates clearly, sends me photos of the finished work, and treats my tenants with respect. They fixed a ceiling leak in Overbrook for me and handled everything professionally."

"We decided to add a backsplash to our laundry room to spruce it up. The tiling work is impeccable. Straight lines, even grout, and no mess left behind. It adds so much value to the room for a very reasonable cost."

"Our closet shelving collapsed under the weight of winter coats. They didn't just put it back up; they reinforced the wall and installed a much stronger heavy-duty system. It feels bombproof now. Thanks for the quick rescue!"
