SERVICES FROM MY OTTAWA HANDYMAN?
Does your home feel unfinished or lack that touch of elegance you admire in magazines? Poorly installed trim or bare ceilings can make even a beautiful room feel plain.
Trying to install crown molding yourself often leads to frustration. The complex angles, the tricky “coping” cuts, and the physical strain of working overhead can turn a weekend project into a nightmare of wasted material and gap-filled corners. Or perhaps you have existing molding that has separated from the ceiling due to seasonal shifting, leaving unsightly cracks that ruin the look of your room. You want a sophisticated finish, but you are worried about hiring a contractor who leaves gaps, damages your walls, or charges a fortune for a small repair.
My Ottawa Handyman provides the professional crown molding installation and repair Ottawa homeowners trust for flawless results. We specialize in finish carpentry that transforms average rooms into stunning, character-filled spaces. Whether you need to install high-end wood molding in a historic Glebe dining room, repair separated joints in a Kanata living room, or add modern MDF trim to a condo in Westboro, we handle it with precision. With our immediate response for quotes and our iron-clad 48-hour satisfaction guarantee, you can elevate your home’s style without the stress.

Many carpentry companies in Ottawa have minimum charge requirements that make small repairs impossible. We believe every detail in your home matters. Whether you need us to fix separated crown molding in a single hallway or install brand new custom trim throughout a 3,000-square-foot luxury home, we are happy to help. You receive the same level of professional care regardless of the job size.
We know that waiting weeks for a quote is frustrating. We offer immediate response capabilities for estimates and scheduling.

We respect your time and communicate clearly throughout the project
We use professional-grade miter saws and pneumatic nailers to ensure secure, accurate installation. We understand the local climate and how humidity affects wood expansion. By using proper coping techniques rather than simple miter cuts in corners, we ensure your joints stay tight even as the Ottawa seasons change, giving you long-lasting beauty.
Crown molding is widely recognized as an upgrade that adds perceived value and class to a home. It draws the eye upward, making ceilings feel higher and rooms feel grander.

Ottawa Owned. Ottawa Proud.
Finish carpentry is exacting work. Unlike rough framing, where a quarter-inch margin is acceptable, crown molding requires millimeter-perfect precision. A single bad cut can ruin an expensive length of material. Our crown molding installation and repair Ottawa service is built on years of experience and a dedication to craftsmanship.
We understand that every home in Ottawa is different. Older homes in Centretown often have uneven ceilings and walls that require expert scribing and caulking to ensure the trim sits flush. Newer builds in Barrhaven might use different materials that require specific fastening techniques. We assess your specific structure and choose the right method—whether it’s coping joints for a tight fit that resists seasonal expansion, or using specialized adhesives for lightweight decorative profiles.
Our process is clean and efficient. We use dust-collection tools to keep your air clean and protect your furniture with heavy-duty coverings. We don’t just nail up the wood and leave; we fill every nail hole, sand the joints smooth, and caulk the seams so the molding looks like it grew out of the wall. We turn disjointed rooms into cohesive, polished spaces.

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."
Miriam P., Barrhaven
"The crown molding in our master bedroom had separated at the corners and looked terrible. I called a few places, but they said the job was too small. This team gave me a quote over the phone and came out two days later to fix it. They re-secured it, caulked it, and touched up the paint. Fast, friendly, and affordable."
Elizabeth C., Sandy Hill
"We bought an older Victorian home in Sandy Hill that had missing sections of intricate crown molding. I was worried we'd never match the original profile. My Ottawa Handyman not only found a near-perfect match but installed it so seamlessly you can't tell where the old stops and the new begins. Their attention to detail is unmatched."
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."
James T., Westboro
"I wanted to add some character to my builder-grade box of a condo in Westboro. I hired them to install crown molding in the living and dining areas. The team was fantastic—they dealt with the concrete ceilings and uneven walls perfectly. The place looks like a luxury suite now. Best investment I've made."
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."

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions about Our Services
Cost depends on the material (MDF, solid wood, polyurethane), the size of the room, and the complexity of the installation (number of corners). We provide Fixed Price on Most Services once we assess the scope, so you know exactly what to expect. Generally, it is priced per linear foot.
Our service includes accurate measuring, supplying materials (if requested), cutting, installing with professional fasteners, filling nail holes, sanding joints, and caulking gaps. We can also include painting as an add-on service for a completely finished look.
Absolutely. We stand behind every joint and corner with our iron-clad 48-hour satisfaction guarantee. If you notice any issues with the installation or repair, we will return within 48 hours to make corrections at no additional charge.
Yes, this is a very common issue in Ottawa due to humidity fluctuations. We can re-secure the molding, use specialized wood fillers and caulk to bridge gaps, and touch up the area to make it look seamless again. It is much cheaper than replacing the entire run.
MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) is stable, affordable, and great for painted finishes as it doesn’t warp easily. Solid wood is more expensive but necessary if you want a stained (natural wood) look. For most modern homes, we recommend MDF for its smooth finish and stability.
It is usually best to apply the primer and first coat of paint before installation. Once installed, we fill the nail holes and caulk the seams, then apply the final topcoat for a flawless finish. We can handle the painting for you as part of our custom carpentry services.
