Alta Vista is a leafy, established neighbourhood of 1950s and '60s homes near the Ottawa Hospital General Campus and the Alta Vista Drive corridor. Many households here have been in the same home for decades, so we see a lot of downsizing, estate work and full-basement clearing.
These homes are also popular renovation candidates. Kitchens, bathrooms and basements being updated generate debris — and sometimes surprises in older materials, so get anything suspect tested before tear-out.
Common jobs in Alta Vista

Local tips
- Mature trees mean lots of fall branches — ask about adding yard debris to a bigger job.
- If you're moving to a retirement residence, tell us your move date so we can plan around it.
