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.

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

Fix / Rectify IKEA VIDGA Ceiling Curtain Track Installation

$150

Zetland NSW 2017, Australia

2nd Oct 2026

Looking for someone experienced with IKEA VIDGA ceiling-mounted curtain tracks to fix a recently installed system that has several installation issues. The tracks are already installed, but need to be adjusted/rectified: * Track joins are misaligned/uneven, which is stopping the curtain gliders from moving smoothly across the joins. Some curtains are already hung, but currently cannot be pulled properly across the full track. * In the main bedroom, the tracks have been installed right up against the side wall, leaving no access to remove the end caps. Because of this, we currently cannot insert the curtain gliders/hang the bedroom curtains. * Tracks may need to be partially removed, repositioned/aligned and securely reinstalled so all joins are smooth and the curtains can travel freely. * Bedroom track needs to be adjusted so there is proper access to the end cap for inserting/removing gliders. * Please also check the overall installation and make sure the tracks are secure, straight and functioning correctly before finishing. The tracks are ceiling mounted and already cut to size. We are looking for someone who is confident working with the IKEA VIDGA system and can rectify the existing installation rather than replace everything unnecessarily. Please bring appropriate tools and fixings. Photos of the current installation attached

Luis did an amazing job with our Ikea vidga curtains! We had a different Airtasker guy come and he did not install our curtains properly, we were lucky to have Luis come by our apartment and fix up everything and now the curtains look amazing and they glide perfectly too. He also installed two A1 photo frames on our walls. Can’t thank you enough Luis and we will definitely be rebooking!
