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.

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.

Paint and repair drill holes in wall

$250

Erskineville NSW 2043, Australia

22nd Aug 2026

Moving out of a rental and need a small wall repair completed professionally. There are several holes in 2 different areas from a TV wall mount and a wifi access point on a rendered internal wall & ceiling. I had already filled the holes with standard plaster/filler before learning that the wall is rendered, so I’d like someone experienced to inspect the repair and redo/remove the existing filler if required. A few of the original wall plugs were too deep to remove and have been filled over, so these should also be dealt with properly if necessary. Scope: - Inspect existing filled TV mount holes - Remove/rework existing filler if unsuitable - Properly repair holes using material suitable for a rendered wall - Sand/finish so the repair blends into the existing wall - Apply appropriate undercoat/primer - Touch up/repaint repaired area - Paint colour is Dulux Polar White Quarter – Matt (exact paint details available) There is also one small ceiling hole from an Ethernet cable that I'd ideally like patched and painted at the same time. The property is only around a year old, so I’m looking for someone who can achieve a clean, professional finish rather than just a basic patch job. Please only offer if you have experience with rendered wall repairs and painting.

Great job well done. Will hire again
