Have you been told by other Ottawa contractors that your job isn’t “big enough” for them to come out? We hate that. At My Ottawa Handyman, we thrive on the small fixes. From a single rotted wood window sill in a Centretown heritage home to a complete window casing repair for a property manager in Kanata, we treat every project with the same urgency and attention to detail.
Window issues often become emergencies. A window that won’t lock or a frame that is leaking during a summer storm needs an immediate solution. We offer 24/7 emergency service across the Ottawa region. Whether you are in the Glebe or Orleans, our team is ready to provide a fixed price quote and get to work quickly to secure your home.
Ottawa’s utility bills are high enough without drafty windows letting your heated air escape. Our window frame repair services focus heavily on improving your home’s thermal performance. By replacing old weatherstripping and applying professional-grade caulking, we eliminate thermal bridging, making your home more comfortable and significantly lowering your monthly energy costs.
A full window replacement in Ottawa can cost thousands per unit. In many cases, the glass and the internal mechanics are perfectly fine; only the frame is suffering from moisture damage. Our restoration services, including wood rot treatment and exterior window trim repair, can save you up to 70% compared to the cost of new windows, while still providing the same aesthetic and functional benefits.
With years of experience serving Ottawa’s diverse neighbourhoods—from the historic homes of Rockcliffe Park to the newer builds in Riverside South—we understand how different frames react to our environment. We are fully licensed, insured, and carry WSIB coverage, providing you with the peace of mind that your property is being handled by true professionals who respect your space.
When it comes to window frame repair, the local climate in Ottawa poses challenges that generic “how-to” guides simply don’t cover. Our homes endure a brutal freeze-thaw cycle, where moisture enters small cracks in the sealant, freezes, expands, and eventually causes wood rot or warped vinyl window frames.
Our process is built on precision and transparency. Unlike some contractors who simply slap a layer of caulking over a problem, we perform a deep-dive assessment. We identify the root cause of moisture intrusion, whether it’s failing weatherstripping or a compromised sash repair. Our experts use high-grade epoxy wood filler and specialized wood hardener to rebuild the areas where the wood has softened, ensuring the repair is actually stronger than the original material.
We understand that you are busy. That’s why we offer a fixed price on most services and a “no job too small” philosophy. Whether you need us to fix a single casement window that won’t close or you require a complete overhaul of the window sills across your entire property, we provide the same level of meticulous craftsmanship. We don’t just fix a frame; we restore your home’s curb appeal and energy efficiency.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions about Our Services
The cost for window frame repair in Ottawa typically ranges from $150 to $600 for minor issues like caulking or small rotted wood window sill repairs. More extensive restorations involving structural sash repair or multiple windows can range from $750 to $2,400. We provide free, no-obligation quotes so you know the exact cost before we pick up a tool.
Yes, in the vast majority of cases, a window frame can be repaired without needing a full replacement. If the glass is intact and the structural integrity is sound, we can use epoxy wood filler and wood hardener to restore rotted sections. This is a common and cost-effective solution for Ottawa’s historic homes.
If the frame damage is localized—affecting less than 20% of the unit—a repair is almost always the better investment. Repairing your window frame preserves the character of your home and saves you thousands of dollars. However, if the windows are single-pane or have extensive frame-wide rot, we may discuss replacement options to improve your long-term energy efficiency.
Our process for fixing a rotted wood window frame involves four main steps: First, we chisel out all soft, decayed material until we hit healthy wood. Second, we apply a wood hardener to stabilize the fibers. Third, we rebuild the area with a high-strength epoxy wood filler. Finally, we sand, prime, and paint to match your exterior window trim, creating a seamless and waterproof finish.
A leaking window is usually caused by failing sealant on the exterior, blocked “weep holes” in the frame, or a gap in the window casing. In Ottawa’s climate, the freeze-thaw cycle can cause materials to shrink and crack over time. We can quickly identify the source of the moisture intrusion and reseal the area to prevent further damage to your interior walls.
Toggle Most minor repairs, such as window sill replacement or caulking updates, can be completed in 2 to 4 hours. Larger restoration projects involving epoxy curing times may require two visits over 24 hours to ensure the materials have fully set before we apply the final coat of paint.Content
