James did a great job, promptly, efficiently and highly professionally under difficult weather conditions (raining all day and previous night). He even used his own screws that are safer and you can't hurt your head on inside the shed, with no additional cost. I would highly recommend James to do this and similar work for anyone wanting a job done properly. Thanks again, James. Linda D (Mill Park, Vic)

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.

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

Plasterboard repair + paint colour-match — 3–4 spots, END OF TENANCY

$450

Epping VIC 3076, Australia

26th Jul 2026

Hi, I'm moving out of a rental and need a few interior wall/plasterboard repairs done and painted before handover. Looking for someone who does proper board repair and colour-matching (if possible), not just quick filler — this needs to pass a rental exit inspection. There are 3–4 spots across the property: One is impact damage where the plasterboard has been pushed in/punctured (roughly [football/fist] sized) — likely needs the damaged section cut out and a new board patch set in, taped, sanded and painted. A couple of smaller gouges/holes that need filling, sanding and painting (if possible). One or two edge/corner areas where the surface has lifted. I'll show you all spots on arrival. If possible I would like the finished repairs colour-matched so they blend with the existing paint. Important: ⚠️ This MUST be fully completed (repaired, dried, sanded, painted) by Wednesday 5th August — I hand the keys back Thursday. Please only bid if you can genuinely finish by then, allowing for compound drying time. Please confirm in your offer that you cut and replace board (not just fill). Please bring your own materials and tools; let me know if paint is included in your price or if I need to supply it. Photos attached. Happy to answer questions. Thanks!

Gabriel did a great job matching the paint and going beyond what we needed to fix the property patching before leaving the property. Great job and we'll hire him again.
