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.

Fix the drawer
$150
Kew East VIC 3102, Australia
8th Nov 2025
The drawer door on my TV cabinet is currently unstable. I suspect a previous owner modified it, as it's held in place by only three fixtures now that one has fallen off. This makes the door prone to dropping, which is a significant safety hazard due to its considerable weight. My ideal solution is to have it repaired to a state where it can slide in and out smoothly, even though the interior is no longer used for storage. If full sliding functionality isn't feasible, my priority is to have it securely reattached so it cannot fall off. It would also be helpful if the repair allows for future disassembly, should the need arise.

Help fix and clean outdoor BBQ unit/joinery
$500
Kew VIC, Australia
28th Oct 2025
I have an outdoor BBQ unit. There are three tasks - 1. I need someone to repair the cabinet door that has come loose from its hinges. The hinge mounting plates have stripped out of the cabinet frame (see photo). This has been repaired before by the installer and failed. 2. The cupboards need cleaning. 3. I need a way for the doors to be secured closed, so that water/weather does not get inside the cupboards. I am guessing that water damage has caused this.
Excellent work. Thank you again.

Looking for a qualified technician with experience specifically with LG TrueSteam hybrid dryers, preferably the TD-C902H model. My dryer is taking very long to dry clothes (up to 4 hours on the speed setting), and the condensing tank is not filling with water at the end of the cycle (one occasion). There is also lots of steam remaining in the drum after the cycle finishes. I’ve already cleaned both layers of the lint filter, but the issue persists. Looking for a qualified technician with - • Have prior experience with LG TrueSteam hybrid dryers • Be a qualified technician • Have dealt with this type of problem before
I highly recommend John for your washing machine and dryer maintenance and repair needs. I found him to be very professional, friendly and efficient in his work - with an eye for detail and ensuring that the machine was working properly prior to leaving. If you are on the look out for a technician - look no further.

Learn basic car maintenance
$100
Doncaster East VIC, Australia
7th Jul 2025
I'd like to learn the basics of how to maintain my car in order to save money on minor servicing. I want to specifically learn how to (if possible): - check + change oil and oil filter - change a tyre - check / replacing air filter - replace wiper blades - change brake fluid - safely adding additives to clean fuel system - replacing lights I understand some of these might require specialised tools and some might best be left up to a professional mechanic. In those instances, I'd just like to learn a bit more about the process so that I can make the best choices when things need repairing. I don't know how much this would cost to teach so please give me a quote. I tried searching for courses / workshops in my area but couldn't find any so thought I'd try Airtasker. Thanks!
