Expert Curtain and Drape Installation Ottawa
Why Choose Professional
SERVICES FROM MY OTTAWA HANDYMAN?
Have you ever spent hours struggling to level a curtain rod, only to have it pull out of the drywall the moment you hang the drapes? You deserve perfectly hung window treatments without the frustration.
Hanging curtains seems like a simple task until you are standing on a wobbly chair, trying to decipher complex hardware instructions while holding a heavy metal rod above your head. Uneven brackets, crumbling drywall anchors, and rods that bow in the middle can ruin the look of an entire room. It is frustrating to invest in beautiful fabrics only to have the installation look amateurish or unsafe. You want a polished, designer look, but finding a reliable professional for smaller jobs can feel impossible.
My Ottawa Handyman offers the professional curtain and drape installation Ottawa homeowners trust for flawless execution. We take the stress out of window treatments. Whether you need to mount heavy blackout drapes in a Kanata bedroom, install sleek ceiling tracks in a downtown condo, or replace old, wobbly hardware in an older home in The Glebe, we handle it with precision. With our immediate response times and iron-clad 48-hour satisfaction guarantee, you can enjoy privacy and style without lifting a finger.
Powerful Benefits of Choosing Our Service
We eliminate the anxiety of hiring a handyman. If you aren’t completely happy with the placement, level, or stability of your installation, we will return within 48 hours to correct it for free. No questions asked. We are committed to getting it right, ensuring your window treatments look exactly how you envisioned them.
Many companies have high minimum fees that make installing a single curtain rod unreasonably expensive. We believe in being helpful, no matter the scope. Whether you need curtain rod mounting for one small bathroom window or a complete window treatment replacement for an entire office building, we are happy to take the job. We treat every project with the same level of professional priority.
We understand that once you’ve bought your curtains, you want them up on the wall, not sitting in a pile on the floor. We offer immediate response capabilities for quotes and flexible scheduling to fit your busy life. While our 24/7 service is reserved for genuine home emergencies, our team is always ready to tackle your to-do list efficiently.
Heavy drapes can weigh significantly more than you expect, especially when pulled. Improperly installed rods can fall, causing injury or damaging your walls and floors. We use professional stud finders and industrial-strength anchors to ensure your hardware is anchored solidly. This is especially critical in homes with children or pets who might tug on the fabric.
Properly hung curtains can transform a room, increasing perceived ceiling height and adding a layer of insulation. By placing hardware correctly—often “high and wide”—we maximize natural light and make your space feel grander. This attention to detail contributes to a polished, well-maintained home that holds its value.
My Ottawa Handyman is fully insured and WSIB compliant. Our technicians are experienced in working with all types of materials, from delicate sheers to heavy velvet theatre curtains. We respect your home, wearing boot covers and cleaning up all drilling dust before we leave. You get the peace of mind that comes with hiring a legitimate, local professional.
Ottawa Owned. Ottawa Proud.
Installing window treatments is about more than just drilling holes; it is about geometry, structure, and aesthetics. Standard general contractors often overlook the nuances of proper placement, while interior designers may not have the technical skills to handle difficult wall conditions. Our curtain and drape installation Ottawa service bridges that gap, offering technical expertise with an eye for detail.
Our process begins with a precise assessment of your space. We identify the wall type—whether it’s drywall, plaster, brick, or concrete—and select the appropriate heavy-duty anchors or toggle bolts to ensure a secure hold. We use laser levels to guarantee that every rod is perfectly horizontal and aligned relative to your window frames and ceiling. This attention to detail prevents the dreaded “slanted curtain” look that plagues DIY attempts.
We also understand the “rules” of hanging drapes to maximize your room’s potential. We know how high and wide to mount the rod to make your windows appear larger and your ceilings taller. From assembling complex hardware to steaming out minor wrinkles upon hanging, we treat your home with the utmost care. We leave you with functional, beautiful window treatments that glide smoothly and stay securely on the wall.

As a general rule of thumb, we recommend mounting the rod at least 4-6 inches above the window frame, or halfway between the frame and the ceiling molding. This draws the eye up and makes the room feel taller. We will consult with you on-site to determine the best aesthetic for your specific room.
Typically, the homeowner purchases the curtains and hardware that match their style, and we provide the professional installation service. However, if you are unsure what to buy, we can provide recommendations on sturdy hardware brands during our consultation.
