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.

I need someone to help with a bunch of tasks. 1. Hang dryer onto wall (above washing machine or laundry sink is fine). I will remove pole seen in photo prior to you doing the work. 2. Figure out some way of making the sliding internal door latch so it can be latched and unlatched no matter which side of the door you are on. Doesn’t need to lock, just latch so cats can’t open it and family members can’t trap each other in/out! 3. Replace wooden internal-to-external laundry door handle and lock to a normal handle and a double cylinder deadbolt. 4. Replace internal laundry-to-garage door handle and lock with a normal handle and a double cylinder deadbolt. 5. Build a frame and doorway at the end of the current catio/patio so we can go in and out of the garden without having to walk around side of house. Needs to not leave any gaps for cats to escape. If you do the framing/door I can put the netting back on. 6. Build a basic wooden frame and doorway for back roller door so I can then staple fly screen to it all. 7. Build a pergola frame with doorway entry on the hardstand so I can attach cat netting and create a second catio area. There are already holes in the brickwork above door and windows. I haven’t got any of the supplies but would be happy to get everything if you tell me what to get. I think you may need way more info so please feel free to ask what you need to know.
Vlad was excellent! I cannot thank him enough. He was polite, meticulous, communicative, and friendly. 11/10 ☺️
