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.

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.

Hi, I'm looking for a quote to install 7 x 2 (double) roller blind units in the main living area of a residential property in Glen Iris. The blinds have been supplied by DIY Blinds and are ready to be installed. Photos of the windows are attached. Each unit consists of a blockout and a sunscreen paired together on double slimline brackets with Somfy Altus 28 1.5nm wire-free battery motors. Some blinds are to be face fitted and others are recess fitted - full specifications can be provided at the time (though let me know if you would like this info now) All motors also need to be programmed to operate with the provided Somfy Telis 16 RTS pure remote. All blind components are provided - no supply required, labour and programming only. Additionally, there is also an existing blind (third picture) where the blockout blind is further from the window than the sheer blind and the blockout blind rolls down forward rather than backwards. I'd like the blockout blind to be closer to the window than the sheer blind and for the blockout blind to roll down backwards so that it is the same as the setup in the fourth picture. Please provide a fixed price quote. If you need any further details or would like to inspect before quoting, please get in touch. Thanks

Dimitrios was extremely professional, efficiently, communicative and friendly. Really lovely guy. Would highly recommend to anyone.
