Expert Concrete Sealing and Staining Ottawa Services
Why Choose Professional
SERVICES FROM MY OTTAWA HANDYMAN?
Is your home’s exterior crumbling under the pressure of harsh Ottawa winters? Don’t let salt, cracks, and unsightly stains destroy your curb appeal.
Living in the National Capital Region means dealing with weather extremes that wreak havoc on your property. You watch as the freeze-thaw cycle turns your once-pristine driveway into a pitted, cracking mess. You worry about the long-term damage caused by road salt dragged in by your car, eating away at your garage floor. It’s frustrating to see your investment deteriorate, but the thought of hiring a contractor brings its own anxiety—will they show up on time? Will the finish peel after one season?
My Ottawa Handyman eliminates that stress entirely. We provide the professional concrete sealing and staining Ottawa homeowners trust to protect and beautify their property. Whether you need to rescue a spalling driveway in Kanata, stain a basement floor in The Glebe, or seal a stamped concrete patio in Orleans, we have the expertise to get it done right. We combine industrial-grade materials with meticulous preparation to deliver results that last. Best of all, with our 48-hour satisfaction guarantee, you never have to worry about the quality of the final finish.
Powerful Benefits of Choosing Our Service
We understand that hiring a contractor requires trust. That is why we offer an industry-leading promise: if you are not 100% satisfied with the consistency, coverage, or quality of our work, we will return within 48 hours to fix it for free. No questions asked. We take the risk completely off your shoulders so you can focus on enjoying your newly renovated space.
Most concrete companies in Ottawa are chasing massive commercial contracts and won’t give you the time of day for a single-car garage or a small front walkway. We operate differently. Whether you need a quick seal on a front porch or a complete stain-and-seal renovation for a commercial pool deck, we treat every job with the same level of priority and professionalism.
Concrete damage doesn’t wait for a convenient time. If you are preparing your home for sale or need urgent protection before the first snowfall, you need a team that responds fast. We pride ourselves on immediate communication and flexible scheduling. We offer 24/7 availability for urgent needs and work around your schedule to minimize disruption to your daily life.
We are not a fly-by-night operation. Our team is fully insured and covered by WSIB, protecting you and your property. We have years of experience navigating the specific challenges of Ottawa’s climate. We use professional application techniques—spraying and back-rolling—to ensure even coverage without streaks or roller marks. We treat your home with respect, keeping the job site clean and protecting your landscaping from overspray.
In Ottawa, road salt is the number one enemy of concrete. It dissolves into a brine that penetrates the surface, corroding the reinforcement and causing the surface to pop off (spalling). Our high-performance sealers create an impermeable barrier against chlorides. This extends the lifespan of your driveway or walkway by years, saving you thousands in premature replacement costs.
A stained and sealed driveway or patio does more than protect; it transforms. Staining can turn drab, gray slabs into rich, earth-toned surfaces that mimic the look of natural stone or tile at a fraction of the cost. This immediate aesthetic upgrade significantly boosts your curb appeal and property value, making it one of the smartest investments you can make before listing a home.
Ottawa Owned. Ottawa Proud.
Concrete maintenance is a science, especially in our climate. Many homeowners try the DIY route with hardware store products, only to find the sealer flaking off by spring. Our comprehensive concrete sealing and staining Ottawa process is designed specifically to withstand Canadian environmental stressors. We don’t just apply a coating; we engineer a protective barrier.
The process begins with an in-depth consultation and inspection. We identify the type of concrete you have—whether it’s exposed aggregate, broom finish, or stamped—and assess the moisture content. Proper preparation is 80% of the job. We utilize high-pressure commercial washing and eco-friendly degreasers to remove years of grime, oil, and organic growth. If the pores of the concrete aren’t open and clean, the sealer won’t bond. We take the time to scrub, rinse, and dry your surfaces thoroughly before a single drop of product is applied.
Once the surface is prepped, we repair minor cracks and pitting using high-strength bonding fillers. This stops water infiltration, which is the leading cause of winter heave and spalling. For staining projects, we apply deep-penetrating reactive stains or durable acrylics that chemically bond with the masonry, ensuring rich, non-fading color. Finally, we apply a premium, breathable sealer appropriate for the Ottawa climate. This locks out moisture and salt while allowing the concrete to “breathe,” preventing trapped moisture from delaminating the surface. The result is a seamless, protected finish that looks incredible and stands the test of time.

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."
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."
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."
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."
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."

Most residential projects, such as a double-car driveway or a backyard patio, take two days. Day one involves heavy cleaning and preparation (which requires drying time), and day two is for the application. You can typically walk on the surface 4-6 hours after sealing, and drive on it after 24-48 hours
We proudly adhere to a “No Job Too Small” philosophy. Whether you need a small walkway sealed, a single crack repaired, or a 2,000-square-foot commercial floor stained, we are happy to help. We are available for projects of all sizes across Ottawa.
Yes, but preparation is critical. We use industrial-strength degreasers and enzyme cleaners to lift as much oil as possible from the concrete pores. While deep, old stains may not disappear 100%, our cleaning process significantly improves the appearance, and staining can help mask the discoloration before sealing locks out future spills.
