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.

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.

Stack F&P heat pump dryer onto 10kg front loader + level washer

$100

Hawthorn VIC 3122, Australia

19th Aug 2026

Stack F&P heat pump dryer onto 10kg front loader + level washer Hawthorn, Melbourne. F&P 428122 stacking kit already fitted to the washer — the frame is on, this is the lift and final fixing. The complication: rear brackets can’t be accessed in position. The machines sit in a corner with a shelf overhead. Job needs to be assembled clear of the wall, then the assembled tower repositioned approx 300–400mm back. Two-person job. Levelling: washer needs to be checked and properly levelled with locknuts set before the dryer goes on. No second chance once it’s stacked. Floor is mixed tile and old vinyl, uneven and soft in places. Please bring: appliance glide pads or skates (machines are on rubber feet — they need to be shifted foot by foot, they don’t slide), spirit level, shifter, ratchet strap, and a right-angle drill attachment or stubby driver in case the rear fixings are tight. Rear clearance of at least 20mm must be maintained — heat pump dryer, has had a thermal-related repair. Suit appliance installers or removalists rather than general handyman.
