Get a contractor.
One request. A real person reviews it, routes it to fitting local independent contractors, and gives you a clear answer either way.
What needs doing?
Pick the job. Your request ticket starts forming right here.
Non-emergency home jobs only · Ottawa area. We don’t route electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, or other regulated work.
No payment or commitment to send. H2Ops reviews each request for a managed match and, after an accepted submission, shows a clear answer-by time. Independent businesses do the work; you pay the contractor directly.
What happens to your ticket.
Managed matching, start to finish. You never browse contractors; contractors never browse your job.
- 01Request
Your ticket lands on the desk
The task, your area, and your preferred window. That's everything we need to start.
- 02Review
A real person checks it
Service type, area, and timing are reviewed before anything goes out. No request is routed unreviewed.
- 03Match
Routed only to fitting contractors
Independent contractors whose service and coverage fit are notified. They accept, decline, or propose another time - there's no public job board.
- 04Answer
A clear answer, either way
If a contractor accepts, you confirm before full contact details are released to either side. If none do, you get a straight no-match answer - not silence.
You confirm before full details are released. If no contractor accepts, you get a straight no-match answer instead.
An answer is promised. A contractor isn’t. H2Ops does not guarantee availability, workmanship, or outcomes - contractors are independent businesses.
You’ve done the calling-around before.
Finding someone for a small job usually means chasing five numbers to get one maybe. H2Ops turns that into a single request with a real answer at the end.

City of Ottawa, including rural communities.
A request can be submitted anywhere in Ottawa, but a contractor match depends on local service coverage and timing.
Coverage varies by service and time window - we never pretend otherwise.

H2Ops Dispatch is not for emergency or regulated work. For emergencies, contact the appropriate local emergency service.
Curated local requests. You stay independent.
H2Ops mostly reaches out to contractors directly. Reviewed homeowner requests are routed only to independents whose service type and area fit - accept, decline, or propose another time. No public job board, no monthly subscription, and customers pay you directly.
Q01What happens if no contractor accepts?
You get a clear no-match answer. We don't leave requests open-ended or promise a contractor every time.
Q02Is this for emergencies?
No. H2Ops Dispatch is for non-emergency home-maintenance work only. For emergencies, contact the appropriate local emergency service.
Q03Do I browse or pick a contractor?
No. This is managed matching, not an open marketplace. You submit one request; H2Ops reviews it and routes it to fitting independent contractors.
Q04Who does the work, and who do I pay?
Independent contractors perform the work, and you pay them directly. H2Ops coordinates the request and the match - it is not the contractor.
Q05When are my contact details shared?
Your details stay private while H2Ops reviews and matches the request. Contact details are only shared once there is a contractor match for you to confirm, so nothing is exposed early.
Q06Is this available everywhere in Ottawa?
Yes, H2Ops accepts requests across the City of Ottawa, including rural Ottawa communities. Availability still depends on contractor supply by service type, area, and requested time window.
Q07What work is out of scope?
Emergency and regulated work: electrical, plumbing, HVAC/gas, roofing, structural, mold/asbestos, locksmith/security, permit-required, and hazardous materials.
Q08Is H2Ops a contractor?
No. H2Ops Dispatch is a coordination and matching service. Independent contractors perform the work.
Q09Are contractors H2Ops employees?
No. Contractors are independent businesses. They remain independent and run their own work.
Q10Do contractors browse all jobs?
No. Contractors do not browse an unrestricted job board. They receive curated requests that fit their service type and area.
