A clearer way to compare Ottawa home service businesses.
Ottawa Service Directory is a curated local guide to home service businesses in Ottawa, built and operated by Velogics, an Ottawa-based web design, local SEO, and custom software company serving home service businesses. It combines direct directory browsing with an optional get-matched request, where our team finds a suitable business for a homeowner’s job and passes the request to it.
Maintained and reviewed by Velogics. 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.
An Ottawa business presence
Each listing had a reviewable Ottawa service presence when added. Business details can change, so confirm availability directly before hiring.
Public reviews
We look at genuine public reviews from named platforms such as Google, Houzz, and TrustedPros, 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 credentials before hiring
Credential details may come from public records or the business. A check is point-in-time, not a guarantee of current coverage, so confirm licensing and insurance directly before hiring.
What is in the directory
How many businesses are listed, and how many carry a sourced rating?
| Ottawa businesses listed | 430 |
|---|---|
| Trades covered | 28 |
| Neighbourhoods and suburbs covered | 9 |
| Listings carrying a sourced public rating | 416 |
| Listings claimed by their owner | 36 |
| Cost to a business for any of the above | $0 |
A rating is only counted here when it carries a value, a named platform and a review count. A business with reviews we cannot attribute to a named source shows no rating rather than an unsourced one, which is why the rated figure above is lower than the total. The areas listed are Barrhaven, Gloucester, Kanata, Manotick, Nepean, Orléans, Richmond, Stittsville, Westboro.
Ownership
Who runs this directory, and how placement works.
This directory is built and operated by Velogics, an Ottawa-based web design, local SEO, and custom software company serving home service businesses. Businesses selected by the directory are listed first on trade and area pages. Some of our guides also name one business as our pick, above the guide’s ranked list.
No business pays for a listing, and none can pay to alter a rating or remove a competitor. Listings claimed by their owner and showing a rating from a named public source come next; all other positions follow the published rating methodology.
