A guide, not a bidding war.
Ottawa Home Services Directory is a curated local guide to the best home-services businesses in Ottawa, built and operated by Velogics, an Ottawa web studio. We built it because the existing options are either generic national sites that bury you in quote requests, or thin local directories that list anyone. We wanted a genuinely local, genuinely curated alternative.
Maintained and reviewed by the Ottawa Home Services Directory editorial team. Last reviewed July 2026.
How we choose
What we look at, and what to confirm
Every business here is a real Ottawa company selected from public reviews and business records. Here is what we look at, and what you should confirm yourself before hiring.
A real, operating business
Each listing is a genuine, currently-operating Ottawa company, not a dead page or a national lead-gen shell.
Public reviews
We look at genuine public reviews across Google, HomeStars, and Houzz, never a single cherry-picked quote.
Local track record
We favour businesses with a real, verifiable history of working in Ottawa, not a brand-new page with no history.
Confirm licensing yourself
Licensing and insurance vary by trade and change over time. Confirm them directly with the business before you hire; we do not verify them for you.
Ownership
Who runs this directory, and how placement works.
This directory is built and operated by Velogics, an Ottawa web studio. Some featured businesses are Velogics clients; they are always labeled “Partner” and shown first, and we say so plainly rather than hide it. Beyond that label, placement cannot be bought. No business can pay to change its rating, to move up the list, or to have a competitor removed. Every other listing is ranked by real, sourced ratings.
