SERVICES FROM MY OTTAWA HANDYMAN?
Is your home suffering from mysterious drafts, skyrocketing energy bills, or the wasted potential of an unfinished upper level? Few things are more frustrating for a homeowner than knowing your attic is either a money pit losing heat every winter or a dusty, chaotic storage space that could be a beautiful new room. You worry about hidden mold, ice dams forming on your eaves, and the stress of managing a construction project that might drag on for weeks. You need a solution that addresses both the health of your home and your need for usable space, without the headache of unreliable contractors.

Whether you need to top up your insulation to survive the freezing capital winters, repair a damaged ventilation system, or transform a dark attic into a stunning master suite, we handle it all. Unlike general handymen, we understand the specific building science required for Ottawa’s climate. We deliver immediate results with a “no job too small” philosophy, meaning we are just as happy to fix a leaky hatch as we are to renovate your entire upper floor.

We believe every homeowner deserves professional service, regardless of the project’s scope.

Why Ottawa Homeowners Choose Our Professional Services
When you search for attic remodelling and repair Ottawa, you are looking for more than just a carpenter; you need an expert who understands the complex “ecosystem” of your home’s top layer. Our comprehensive process begins with a seamless consultation where we assess not just the aesthetics, but the structural and thermal integrity of your attic. We look for the root causes of issues—like the “stack effect” that pulls warm air out of your living rooms—rather than just treating the symptoms.
We distinguish ourselves through our meticulous attention to detail and our ability to handle the “unseen” elements of attic work. While other contractors might simply hang drywall and leave, we ensure that air sealing is unparalleled, ventilation is balanced to prevent moisture buildup, and insulation meets or exceeds current Ontario Building Code standards. This comprehensive approach ensures that your remodelled space isn’t just beautiful, but also energy-efficient and safe from mold or rot.
Furthermore, we respect that we are working in your sanctuary. Our team uses protective coverings for your floors and employs dust-containment strategies to keep your home clean throughout the process.

Jennifer L., Westboro
We had been dealing with ice dams for years and were worried about potential mold in the attic. I called several companies, but most didn't want to deal with a 'repair' job. This team responded immediately. They came to our home in Westboro, identified the ventilation issue, and fixed it in two days. The difference this winter was incredible—no icicles! I felt so relieved knowing our roof was safe.
Sarah M., Barrhaven
We found some damp insulation after a heavy rain and panicked. I called for an urgent inspection, and they were at my door in Barrhaven the next morning. It turned out to be a small leak around a vent. They fixed it and replaced the wet insulation quickly. I was grateful they didn't try to upsell me on a whole new roof. Honest, professional, and fast.
David K., The Glebe
Our energy bills were out of control in our older home in The Glebe. The team suggested an insulation top-up and air sealing. I was skeptical at first, but the results speak for themselves. The house is warmer, and our heating bill dropped by 20%. Plus, their 48-hour guarantee gave me confidence to move forward. Highly recommend!
