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.

Plastering ceiling and reinstalling curtain frame to roof

$70

South Yarra, Victoria

15th Jul 2026

Clear the Holes: Use a utility knife to remove any loose plaster or paint flakes around the damaged areas. Fill the Holes: Use a heavy-duty filler like wood filler or a rapid-setting joint compound (e.g., Gyprock Rapid Patch). These harden more robustly than standard putty and can better hold a screw once dry. Smooth and Finish: Once the filler is completely dry, sand the area lightly with 120-grit sandpaper until flush with the ceiling. Apply a primer and paint to match the ceiling. 2. Secure Reinstallation, use hollow wall anchors or screw-in anchors.

He is amazing!! I asked him to fix two parts of my roof one that I posted on airtasker and one I didn’t - was caused by a leak in the ceiling.. he was obliging and really good!! Would definitely use him again.

Fix cracked plastic fixtures on pull-down wardrobe rail

$120

St Kilda, Victoria

13th Jul 2026

Looking for a handy person to repair a pull-down wardrobe garment lift mechanism. The hydraulic pull-down mechanic itself still functions completely fine, but the plastic side mounting pieces/brackets that hold it to the wardrobe wall have cracked under the weight. What needs to be done: Assess the cracked plastic side mounts. Securely reinforce, glue, or bracket the cracked plastic housing so it can safely hold weight again when the rail is pulled down. Please bring tools and any general heavy-duty reinforcing materials (epoxy, metal brackets, or heavy washers). I am happy to pay extra for materials if a specific part needs to be purchased.

So efficient and will book for all my future jobs!

Swap 4 internal door handles with my 4 Lockwood Entrance Levers

$100

Collingwood VIC 3066, Australia

10th Jul 2026

I need a reliable handyman or locksmith to replace 4 existing internal door handles with new ones. Details: The Hardware: I have already purchased and supplied the new hardware (Lockwood 31-55mm Satin Chrome Entrance Levers). They are brand new and on-site ready to go. The Scope: The doors already have standard handle cutouts which should closely align with the new Lockwood levers. However, I need you to check the fitment first. If they don't line up perfectly, you will need to slightly widen or adjust the existing timber holes/latches so the new hardware sits flush and operates smoothly. Tools needed: Please bring your standard tools, along with a chisel, files, or a drill/hole saw kit just in case minor timber adjustments or latch recess tweaks are required. Timing: Looking to get this done ASAP.

Amazing and very professional job. Highly skilled and very adaptable with work around. Would engage him again
