Pro-Level Handyman in Ottawa
Your Gap-Filling Solution
Finding the right help for your home shouldn’t feel like a compromise between a solo amateur and a massive, overpriced development firm. If you live in the capital region, you’ve likely faced the “Contractor Cold Shoulder.” This happens when you have a project that is too complex for a casual fixer, but big construction firms tell you the job is “too small.” Alternatively, they give you a quote that includes a 30%-50% project management fee you simply don’t need.
There is a significant gap in the home improvement market, and that is exactly where a our company becomes your most valuable asset. At My Ottawa Handyman, we have built our business to bridge this gap. We provide the technical mastery of a high-end renovation company with the agility and personal touch of a specialized handyman. Whether you need a 48-hour emergency repair in the Glebe or a full-scale kitchen overhaul in Kanata, we are the hybrid partner designed to save you time and money.

Small-to-Mid-Sized Projects: The Handyman Sweet Spot
Many of our clients first discover us when they have a list of tasks that have been sitting on the back burner for months. These are the projects that solo fixers might start but never quite finish to a professional standard. A pro-level handyman in Ottawa treats these “minor” projects with “major” attention to detail.
Bathroom Refreshes: This includes new vanities, tiling, and fixture updates without the need for moving major “wet walls.”
Basement Offices: With more people working from home in Westboro and Orleans, turning a storage corner into a professional workspace is a high-demand project.
The “Whole House” Punch List: Collecting 10–15 smaller repairs—from door alignments to drywall patches—and knocking them out in two focused days.
Deck and Fence Overhauls: Structural repairs and professional staining are essential for handling Ottawa’s harsh winters.
By choosing a pro-level service, you ensure that these updates meet the Ontario Building Code. This protects your home’s resale value and ensures that “small” updates don’t become “big” problems down the road.

Professional Reliability: Beyond the “Quick Fix”
The biggest fear homeowners have when hiring a pro-level handyman in Ottawa is the lack of accountability. We have solved this by implementing “big company” standards into our boutique service.
WHY HIRE MY OTTAWA HANDYMAN ? SMALL JOBS-YES LARGE RENOS-YES INSURANCE & WSIB-YES FAST OVERHEAD – MEDIUM
While our name includes “Handyman,” our capabilities mirror those of an elite Ottawa Home Renovation Company. We frequently hear from homeowners who are surprised to learn that we handle full-scale renovations. The reality is that the same skills required to fix a structural header or install a complex backsplash are the skills required to renovate an entire floor.
Full Kitchen Remodeling
A kitchen is the heart of the home, but a full remodel can be overwhelming. We handle the entire process from demolition to the final coat of paint. Because we operate with a smaller, more agile team than a major developer, we can often complete your kitchen renovation in a fraction of the time. You don’t have to wait for a project manager to coordinate three different sub-contractors; our team handles the cabinetry, flooring, and lighting in one seamless flow.
Bathroom Overhauls
Moving a shower, installing a soaking tub, or creating a custom walk-in tile shower requires specialized waterproofing knowledge. As a pro-level service, we use industry-standard materials (like Schluter systems) to ensure your renovation is leak-proof and durable. We bridge the gap by offering high-end design aesthetics without the high-end developer price tag.
Basement Finishing
Turning an unfinished basement into a legal suite or a family media room is a large undertaking. We manage the framing, insulation, electrical coordination, and drywall. We understand Ottawa’s specific soil and moisture challenges, ensuring your new living space remains dry and comfortable year-round.

We believe you should never pay for work that isn’t right. Our signature “Iron-Clad Guarantee” means that if you find a defect or an adjustment is needed within 48 hours of our visit, we return to provide free corrections. This removes the risk of hiring a professional and ensures your peace of mind.
You aren’t just “hiring a guy”; you are hiring a legitimate, protected business. We carry comprehensive liability insurance and up-to-date WSIB coverage for every member of our team. This trust signal is non-negotiable in 2025, and it distinguishes us from the casual fixers who leave you liable for accidents on your property.
One of the most frustrating parts of home improvement is the “ticking clock” of hourly rates. We eliminate this anxiety by providing fixed-price quotes for most standard services and mid-sized renovations. You will know exactly what the investment is before we make the first cut, allowing you to budget with total confidence.
For landlords in Sandy Hill or the ByWard Market, we are a one-stop-shop for “Turnover” repairs. We can handle the painting, plumbing leaks, and flooring repairs all at once, getting your unit back on the market faster than a developer could even send an estimator.
Standard box-store shelving rarely fits the unique dimensions of Ottawa’s heritage homes. We specialize in custom built-ins, mantels, and mudroom storage that maximize your space and match your home’s original character.
Ottawa’s climate is brutal on homes. We provide professional-grade caulking, weather-stripping, and roof-line inspections. These mid-sized maintenance tasks are often too small for a roofing company but too critical to leave to a novice.

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."
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."
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."
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."
