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.

Repair Heavy Double Glazed Sliding Glass Door

$200

Burwood East VIC 3151, Australia

Hi, I’m looking for someone to repair my sliding glass door. The door is double glazed and approximately 1.7 metres wide, so it’s quite heavy. It has become very difficult to slide and requires a lot of force to open and close. I suspect the rollers may need adjusting or replacing, but I’m not sure what the exact issue is. I’m happy to help lift and remove the door if an extra pair of hands is needed, as I understand it’s very heavy. If any replacement parts are required, there’s a Bunnings just a few minutes from my home, so we can easily pick them up during the job if needed. Please let me know: * What you think the problem might be * An estimated cost (including parts if required) * Your earliest availability I’ve attached a photo of the door. Thank you!
