What do handyman services include?
Have some untackled DIY tasks at home that you can’t seem to find time for? Find a highly skilled handyman near you with remarkable customer service by using Airtasker.Â
Here's a list of some handyman services you might find useful:
Handyman service - general handyman
Start chipping away at that growing list of odd jobs around the house. By hiring a general labour handyman or a small jobs handyman near you, you can get several things done expertly and efficiently. Request your Tasker to help you with tasks like pulling up carpets, replacing light bulbs, or hanging shelves so you can focus on finishing work, running your business, or taking care of your kids.
Handyman service - indoor installations and repairs
Whether you need assistance with installing newly bought homeware or fixing old ones to avoid purchasing replacements, you can hire a handyman to cover for you. Have them work on installing curtain rods and blinds, fitting the kitchen sink, setting up pet doors, and even wallpapering. If a home security system is what you need installed, you can book a separate service to make this happen.
A handyman can also help with soundproofing a room. If you're wondering about soundproofing cost, pricing varies based on materials, room size, and labour—get a quote to find the best option for your budget.
Handyman service - outdoor installations and repairs
Your outdoor setup tends to take a beating, from heavy rains or the messy aftermath of kids playing. Keep your backyard in top shape by getting outdoor items fixed up right. Find a handyman near you who can tackle tasks like setting up your shed foundation, patching up windows, getting your mower back in action, building a garden shed within your budget, and installing some outdoor blinds.
Need extra privacy? You can also have a handyman screen on your porch to create a more secluded and comfortable outdoor space.
Handyman service - bricklaying and building work
If you’re in need of basic home construction, go for handyman services provided by Taskers with ample bricklaying and building experience. These experts can help you build garden walls, repair loose brickwork, install MDF, or even construct a chicken coop. To maintain these areas, you can also hire Taskers to perform gardening work or brick cleaning as needed.
Handyman service - wall hanging
Want to free up space by mounting your TV or bicycle on the wall? Get a handyman for any wall hanging needs to ensure your furnishings are level and fitted securely. From picture frames and mirrors to heavier electrical items like dryers, count on your Tasker to do a thorough job. Need help with your cable TV wiring? You can also book a service for this on Airtasker.
Handyman service - furniture repair
When booking a repairman for furniture fixes, be specific about the item that needs fixing to make sure you hire the right people. For example, handymen with carpentry experience may be suitable if you’re looking to have your wooden coffee table, wardrobe, or sofa bed repaired. On the other hand, hire a tradie with electrical experience for fixing ceiling fans or digital fitness equipment.
Handyman service - home maintenance
Keeping your home in top-notch condition is a breeze when you have access to regular home maintenance services near you. A local handyman can help with cleaning the gutter, pressure-washing driveways and paths, resealing windows and doors, and working on minor roof repairs. Regular home maintenance can prevent small issues from turning into costly problems, keeping your place looking schmick and running smoothly.

Garage Door Repair Needed
$150
Forde ACT, Australia
11th Sep 2025
Job Description – Garage Door Repair Needed My automatic garage door opens correctly but will not close properly. When pressing the close button on the remote, the door starts rolling down but then quickly reverses back up after moving a short distance. From inspection, it looks like the issue is coming from the bottom corner roller area, which may be sticking or misaligned. The corner panel also appears slightly misshaped, likely causing the door to bind. Please see the attached photo for reference. Work required: Inspect the corner roller and alignment. Adjust or replace the roller if necessary. Check and realign the corner panel. Ensure smooth and safe operation of the door after repair.

4th Sep 2025
I need insulation installed under the house floor. The house is raised, there is a door that you can enter from, there light that comes through some vents under the house. Refer to photos. Person can crouch in certain areas and crawl in others. I’ve installed about 25 matts already but I’m inexperienced and therefore its time consuming for me, I also work full time during weekdays and my weekends are quite full.

Matt came prepared with all the necessary tools and parts. This was an unusual job but Matt was not fazed by this. He came up with a good solution, showed me what he was proposing, and checked to make sure that it was working to my satisfaction. Prompt, friendly and competent. I will definitely work with Matt again and am happy to recommend him to others.

Bruce ACT 2617, Australia
30th Aug 2025
My kitchen sink has come loose and dropped from the benchtop cut-out. It looks like it may have been originally held with adhesive/sealant and possibly clips/brackets that have failed or are missing. I need someone to: • Securely re-fix the sink to the benchtop (using proper adhesive/sealant and clips/brackets as needed). • Ensure the sink is watertight and stable. • Supply any necessary mounting hardware (clips, brackets, adhesive/sealant). Notes: • The plumbing is still intact and connected. • Access under the sink is clear.

Finish off my chicken coop
$250
Kambah ACT, Australia
18th Aug 2025
I need a couple things done with my chicken coop/area. I thought I had finished making it but a few of the buggers keep getting out 🙃 1. A roof (this will be done with just netting / mesh which I have already purchased (some of the chickens are flying over) 2. Moving the pavers that are on the grass currently to the gate (some of the chickens are digging and crawling under) I have attached a few photos. Photo 1 - you’ll see the first fence we put up Photo 2 - shows the pavers I’m talking about that will need to be pushed back onto the fence. But photo 2 also shows the added taller fence we added Photo 3 - just for fun. Added extras - if you are able to remove the veggie patch that is in there, and fix up the bricks around my (hopefully okay) Rosebush. That would be amazing. I have no idea on time and pricing, it shouldn’t be too hard of a job. I’m just too medically unwell achieve it myself, so would love the help. So please correct me if my quote is wrong as I am completely unsure. Thank you!

I have an irrigation system that runs off two taps. One in the front yard and one in the backyard. The system in backyard has six stations running from an old upright garden tap. The line splits into six lines and solenoids. The manifold line is split and needs replacing. I would like to take the opportunity to reconfigure the inlet, removing the tap and creating a better manifold connection. It is currently very difficult to conduct maintenance like solenoid replacement, etc. The system runs off an automatic wi-fi timer that works very well.
