Ottawa’s trusted handyman for homes, condos & small businesses.

Most professional handyman services in Ottawa charge between $75 and $125 per hour, with a typical two-hour minimum. Our rate falls within that range. For projects that can be priced by the job — such as a TV mount, toilet swap, or faucet replacement — we offer flat-rate pricing so you know the total cost before we start.

No. Estimates provided by phone, email, text, or photo review are always free. For multi-task or larger projects, we offer a free on-site assessment that typically takes fifteen to twenty minutes. You pay nothing until work is approved and completed.

Yes. We carry two million dollars in commercial general liability insurance and WSIB coverage for our team. We will send you a current certificate of insurance on request before the job begins — and you should ask every contractor to do the same.

Every completed job comes with a written one-year workmanship guarantee. If our installation or repair fails under normal use within twelve months, we return and fix it at no charge. The guarantee terms are printed on every final invoice.

We handle minor fixture-level plumbing work that falls within standard handyman scope. For work that requires an ESA Notification in Ontario (most electrical work) or a licensed plumber (behind-wall plumbing, re-piping, venting changes), we coordinate with our licensed partners rather than performing it unlicensed. This protects your insurance coverage and your home’s resale paperwork.

For most standard requests we can be on-site within two to four business days. Urgent issues — active leaks, security concerns like broken locks, safety hazards — often get same-day or next-day service. Weekend and evening appointments are available at standard rates, not emergency rates.

Yes, we work in condo buildings across Ottawa including the ByWard Market, Centretown, Westboro, Little Italy, and the downtown core. We are familiar with common condo board requirements — insurance minimums, elevator booking, noise hour restrictions, certificate of insurance submission — and we handle the paperwork in advance so your board approves us without delay.

Yes. We serve Manotick, Greely, Metcalfe, Osgoode, Carp, Dunrobin, Constance Bay, Richmond, Munster, North Gower, Kars, and most communities within a forty kilometer radius of downtown Ottawa. A modest travel fee may apply beyond the urban boundary, which we disclose in the written estimate.

We accept e-transfer, all major credit cards, and cheque. Commercial clients and property managers can be set up on Net-30 invoicing after the first completed project. Every transaction receives a written digital receipt for your records.

Not necessarily. Many clients leave a key, a lockbox, or a garage code, and we complete the work while they are at work. We send before-and-after photos and a written summary on completion. We carry commercial liability insurance specifically so this arrangement is safe for both parties. For larger jobs or first-time clients we recommend being present for the initial walk-through.

Absolutely. Most of our service calls are for repairs to items other contractors or the previous homeowner installed — that is the nature of the handyman business. We will assess, quote, and fix without judgment about whoever did the original work.

A handyman handles small to mid-sized repair and installation tasks — typically anything that does not require engineered drawings, building permits, or specialized trades for more than a small portion of the work. A general contractor manages larger renovations, additions, and multi-trade projects. For anything beyond our handyman scope we will refer you to a trusted local contractor rather than stretch ourselves thin on a job we are not the right fit for.

We do not operate a 24-hour emergency line (for true emergencies like active flooding, call a 24/7 plumber or 911). However, for urgent next-day issues — a broken door that will not lock, a running toilet you cannot shut off, a damaged window letting in cold air — we reserve two next-day emergency appointment slots per week for existing clients.

Yes, we operate year-round. Winter is actually our busiest season for interior projects, weather stripping upgrades, frozen-pipe related repairs, and insulation top-ups. Outdoor work (deck repair, exterior painting, gutter cleaning) pauses from late November to early April depending on conditions.

We invoice digitally. You receive a PDF receipt by email on completion, listing every task performed, materials used, the total charged, and the workmanship guarantee terms. Useful for your records and, if applicable, for a claim with your insurance company or a landlord reimbursement request.
