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. 

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.

2 ceiling fans.Several powerpoints need fixing

21st Aug 2025

2 ceiling fans need to be replaced. One still turns slowly but wont spin on lower speeds. The other wont turn at all. Both set into concrete ceiling in a grotto house with long stalks. I have sourced 2 replacements of the same brand but inly have the fans, not the wall circuitry (only existing wall swithes). The kithcen powerpoints are only 2 years old and a few all stopped working the same day and all seems to be on the same circuit as others in the area still work.

Install new front door (standard size)

$200

Howard Springs NT 0835, Australia

17th Jul 2025

I need someone experienced to remove my existing front door and install a new one (standard size). The new door is ready to go. It may need minor adjustments to the frame, hinges, or lock. I’d like someone who has done front door installations before and can ensure a secure, level fit.

I recently had my front door installed by Syed and I couldn’t be happier with the result. He was professional, punctual, and clearly takes pride in his work. The installation was done with care and precision, and the final look is exactly what I was hoping for—modern, secure, and beautifully finished. Syed was also very easy to communicate with and left everything neat and tidy. Highly recommend his services—thank you, Syed, for a fantastic job!

Build and install awning

$800

Millner NT 0810, Australia

25th May 2025

I need someone to build and install an awning. I have steel available for it already, just need the frames built and installed. I can order the Colorbond too. I have attached a photo of my neighbours awning and basically want to get the same constructed. I can help with labour to install, I just don’t have the facilities to cut and weld the steel.

I gave Brooke instruction to build an awning same as my neighbours, and it ended up looking rather different and nothing was square. Wasn’t happy with the result and I have had to engage someone else to take it down and build it properly. Brooke was pleasant to deal with, but he lacked the tools, technical skill, and attention to detail for the job that I gave him. Never cleaned up either and left metal swarf, screws and concrete dust everywhere.

My sliding glass balcony doors are really stiff. I’ve tried spraying silicon spray in it but they just aren’t sliding properly.

Please see handle photo so show how they aren’t centred. Thank you!
