OUR SECURE PAYMENT POLICY
At My Ottawa Handyman, we treat your financial security with the same precision and care that we apply to your home repairs. We understand that inviting a service provider into your home requires trust—not just in our craftsmanship, but in how we handle your sensitive information.
Our Secure Payment Policy is designed to provide you with total peace of mind, ensuring every transaction is safe, transparent, and documented.
We do not store your credit card details on our own devices or servers. All digital payments are processed through Square, a global leader in point-of-sale security.
End-to-End Encryption: Your data is encrypted the moment your card is tapped, dipped, or swiped.
PCI Level 1 Compliance: Our payment processing meets the highest industry standards for data security, ensuring your information remains private and protected from unauthorized access.
To make your experience as convenient as possible, we accept a wide range of secure payment options through our mobile Square Reader:
Credit Cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, JCB, and Diners Club.
Debit: Interac Debit (Chip & PIN or Contactless Tap).
Mobile Wallets: Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay.
We believe in honest work for honest pay.
Payment Upon Completion: For standard handyman tasks and repairs, payment is processed only once the job is finished and you have inspected the work.
Fixed Pricing Guarantee: The price we agree upon before the work begins is the price you pay. We do not add hidden “processing fees” or “convenience surcharges” for using your credit card.
Milestone Payments: For large-scale renovations, we will establish a clear, written payment schedule so you always know exactly what you are paying for and when.
Transparency doesn’t end when you tap your card.
Instant Documentation: For every payment made, an itemized digital receipt will be sent immediately via email or SMS.
Record Keeping: These receipts are professional, tax-compliant documents—perfect for landlords, property managers, and small business owners to track maintenance expenses.

No. At My Ottawa Handyman, we believe in simplicity. We do not charge “convenience fees” or extra percentages for credit card payments. The fixed price we quoted is exactly what will be charged to your card.
For the vast majority of our services—from drywall patches to fixture installations—we provide a flat, fixed price before we start. This means you don’t have to worry about a “slow” technician or unexpected hourly bills. The price we agree on is the price you pay for that specific scope of work.
We offer transparent quotes upfront. For standard jobs, we provide a price over the phone or via text based on photos. If an on-site consultation is required for a complex project, we will discuss any associated costs with you before we dispatch a technician to your home.
No. We are a local Ottawa business. Whether you are in the Glebe or Stittsville, we don’t hide fuel surcharges or “truck fees” in the fine print. Our fixed price is all-inclusive of our travel to your location.
You have two options:
You Supply: You buy the materials (the faucet, the light fixture, the paint), and we provide the expert labor.
We Supply: We pick up the materials for you. We will provide a transparent cost for the materials and a flat pickup/delivery fee so you know exactly where your money is going.
