Stanley did a great job adjusting my bike. It works beautifully now. We can’t believe that the bike shops don’t do maintenance nowadays when there are more people riding bikes than ever! Stanley grabbed the opportunity! Good on you! Thank you.

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.

Looking to install 75” TV with 1.2m arm – full service needed.

$1,000

Box Hill VIC 3128, Australia

27th Jun 2025

I’m looking for a professional solution to install a wall-mounted TV at our shopfront in Box Hill, VIC. The TV is large (75 inches), and we require a long-arm bracket with an extension of at least 1.2 metres to ensure the screen reaches the centre of the front window. The wall where the bracket will be mounted is mainly plasterboard, but there is an exposed structural wall section approximately 10cm wide which may assist with reinforcement. Due to the wall conditions and extended reach required, we would prefer a complete solution that includes both bracket supply and professional installation. Please note that ceiling mounting is not an option, as our ceiling is not load-bearing and the structural ceiling joists are set too far back from the window area. I’ve attached a reference image for your understanding of the intended layout. Please let me know if this is something your team can assist with. We’d appreciate a recommendation on suitable brackets and a quote for the full service.

Timber Furniture repair

$130

Hawthorn East, Victoria

24th Jun 2025

I had removalists yesterday and they knocked over one of my timber candleabras and broke it. The top piece fits perfectly and needs to be glued with timber glue and the middle has cracked and is unstable and would need to be glued as well. I would also like the middle be touched up with gold and black paint. It should take very long but I just don’t have the equipment to fix it and I’m moving out and need it fixed as soon as possible as it is unstable.

Steve was awesome! He did a great job repairing my timber candelabra and was so accommodating. He is an excellent tradesman and a perfectionist! Well done Steve! ⭐️

Install 2.2m Kids Slide onto Backyard Wooden Ladder

$100

Templestowe VIC 3106, Australia

3rd Jun 2025

I need someone to install a 2.2m kids slide (already purchased from Bunnings) onto a wooden ladder structure in my backyard. Scope of work: • Cut two horizontal wooden bars (marked A and B) at the top of the ladder to fit the slide • Reattach piece B vertically on the right side of the slide entrance for support • Secure the bottom of the slide into the grass — must be safely anchored using nails or ground spikes (not provided) • Ensure the entire setup is safe and stable — this is for my 3-year-old child, so safety is essential You’ll need to bring your own tools and provide any required fixings (e.g. nails, anchors, etc.)

Very patient, open to communication, willing to take others' suggestions and find ways to make them work.

Automatic sliding gate fix

$100

Hawthorn VIC, Australia

3rd Jun 2025

My driveway entry gate is not functioning properly and needs attention/service. It’s an automatic sliding gate powered by a Tau K100M motor. See photos. The gate will not open without manual effort as the cog on the motor will not grip on the gate frame (to pull and slide it open). It closes no problem. I have a video that shows this clearly. I’ve examined the parts and there doesn’t appear to be any wear and tear causing this.

Great experience with Tristan. Knew his subject matter and completed the fix quickly. Even had time to give advice on other things I’m considering doing. Will use his services again.
