Electrician to fix power point
$100

There’s no better way to express my level of satisfaction with Konstantina’s service other than being as direct and precise as her level of detail and expertise is. If this wonderful woman says she can do what you need, believe it. Simply put, the nuances, the care, the professionalism, the tools and her infectious zest for her trade are not to be ignored. Came in for the core requirement, (job done flawlessly) ended up graciously and thoughtfully rectifying a few framing related niggles, of her own steam, as her penchant for perfection extended to my dodgy attempts at other DIY. Wish I could give her 10 stars.

Cut and install panels at back of built in wardrobe
$300
South Melbourne VIC, Australia
9th Jun 2025
The thin panels at the back of my built in wardrobe were not installed well and do not sit flush and have gaps all around. The brick wall behind the wardrobe is not sealed or rendered so draughts and smoke and cooking smells from my neighbour below come up the walls and penetrate into my wardrobe and bedroom. I want to install solid panels at the back of the wardrobe to completely seal the wardrobe off from the wall and stop the air and smells from getting in. The dimensions of the built in are approximately 220cm high and 186cm wide, so the total area of wood panels required to fit across the back would be about that. This job would require supplying, cutting, installing and sealing panels at the back of the wardrobe to seal the wardrobe off from the wall.

Fix balustrade posts with better attachment method
$200
South Melbourne VIC, Australia
9th Sep 2024
The balustrade posts on my roof terrace don’t seem to have a solid fixing. The screws don’t actually fix into any wood etc - they just go into a void (i checked with a coat hanger and there is nothing underneath for at least 300mm) I would like someone to propose a fixing method any quote to do the work. Qualified personnel will be prioritised. There are approximately 11 balustrade posts so around 44 fixings. See photos attached.
