What do handyman services include?

Handymen with good customer service can tackle a wide range of indoor and outdoor home DIY tasks. Here are some tasks you might ask a local handyman near you to pop around and help with:

General handyman services

Got a list as long as your arm of odd jobs that need a handyman to complete? Hire general labour handymen to get several things done at once. They can help with general maintenance tasks such as pulling up a carpet, hanging doors, fixing broken appliances and replacing light bulbs, garden work, and more. 

Indoor installations and repairs 

A local handyman can help install newly bought homewares or fix broken possessions (so you can hopefully save some money). For example, they can help with DIY blind installation and repairs, fitting and repairing the kitchen sink, fitting pet doors, hanging shower screens, and even wallpapering. They’ll get it done using their own specialist tools and will let you know if you need to provide or pay for any additional materials.

Outdoor installations and repairs 

Your outdoor area and belongings have to deal with a lot. So help them withstand whatever nature (or your family) throws at them for longer by getting them professionally installed or repaired. Find a handyman who can help with garden shed installation, BBQ repair, fitting outdoor blinds, window repairs, fixing your mower, putting up your clothesline, and even repairing your kids’ trampoline.  The cost of these services varies. You can learn how much letterbox replacement costs or how much window blinds installation costs with our price guides.

Bricklaying and building work

You can hire a handyman near you with bricklaying and building experience to help build garden walls, repair loose brickwork, install MDF, or even construct a chicken coop. When getting quotes from tradesmen, mention if you’ve got the building materials already, or if you’d like them to supply the materials as part of the job.   

Wall hanging

From pictures and TVs to bike racks and mirrors - if you need help with wall mounting, get a DIY handyman to fit your furnishings securely and make sure they’re level. Most handymen will bring their own tools, but you may need to supply extra materials such as screws, picture wire, or mounts for heavier electrical items like TVs and driers. 

Furniture repair

When booking a handyman for furniture repair, you’ll need to be specific about the furniture that needs fixing. For example, handymen with carpentry experience may better if it’s your wooden coffee table, wardrobe, or sofa bed that need repairing. Meanwhile, a handyman with electrical experience may be right for any ceiling fan or digital fitness equipment fixes. That’ll ensure you get the best handyman near you for the job, plus the right tools to get it done.

Plaster cornices in several rooms breaking

$500

Burwood East, Victoria, 3151 Australia

21st May 2024

Photos now added. Cornices cracking: dining room and kitchen. In bedroom about to break off. A competitive offer has come in. I'm a Senior, currently at home after major surgery. If anyone is willing to help me out, change their offer, to match this price, I would appreciate it. The damage was caused by housing construction across the road, but the builder refuses to take responsibility. So, it's coming out of my pocket. I make good hot coffee, or tea :-)

Mostapha turned up on time, was friendly and worked his way steadily through each room, carefully repairing the cracked cornices of my 70 year home. His price was fair and competitive. He is a multi skilled worker with bathroom renovations and plumbing in his home maintenance experience.

External door resize and installation of new lock and door

$300

Kew VIC, Australia

20th May 2024

We have purchased a vintage external door to replace the current front door of our home. The door is slightly too large for the current door frame. The current front door we have is 202CM long, 81 CM wide. The new door measures 202.5CM long, 81.5CM wide. We need to remove .5CM in width and .5CM in length on the new door. We need someone to take the excess length and width off of the new door, fit door hinges to the correct spots on the new door to match current door frame and install into the doorframe. We also require installation of new lock on the new door (we will provide the new lock).

Brendan was fantastic with helping us completely resize and hang a vintage door. He managed to make the door fit perfectly and even replace the lock system for us. Would absolutely use him again!
