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

Doorknob and window winder replacements + optional roller shutter

$100

Knoxfield VIC 3180, Australia

27th Oct 2026

Please provide quotes. Thanks. Need the following done: 1. Replacement of two internal bedroom doorknobs. Ensure doorknob can be locked from inside and has key to lock from outside. Current doorknobs lock mechanism from inside are broken and no keys are available. 2. Replacement of storage room doorknob (similar doorknob as item 1). Current doorknob lock mechanism from inside is working but no key is available to lock from outside. Storage room is located outside the house, connected to backyard deck. 2b. The storage room door has a bit of friction when opening too, may need some sanding to ensure it opens/closes smoothly. 3. Replacement of lock mechanism/entire door handle in front door security/metal door. Current issue: the locking mechanism from inside doesn’t seem to lock but seems to lock fine from outside with a key. 4. Replacement of window winders. Two around the house have issues. One of the windows doesn’t open while the other can’t be closed without pushing from outside. There should be a total of 7 window hinges around the house. Please quote replacement for each vs replacing all 7 with a uniform look. No external key is required for windows. Just something of good quality and works reliably to close/open the windows. 5. Bonus task: I have an outdoor motorised roller shutter that’s stuck. Plan to replace it at later point. Will be good if you can fully open it (fully retracted to let sunlight through) and cover the switch plate inside with an empty plate to prevent accidental operation of the outdoor shutter. Alternatively if you can replace them, please quote separately for the roller shutter. Kindly quote materials and services separately and provide estimate for the materials. Thank you. Preference: Fridays or Weekends
