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.

Install safe load-rated pulley or hoist system for stairwell
$600
Hawthorn VIC 3122, Australia
15th Jun 2026
I am looking for an experienced handyman, carpenter, builder, rigger, or installer to help design and install a safe pulley or hoist system down an internal stairwell. The goal is to safely lift and lower items between floors using a pulley system. The system must be stable, secure, and load-rated. It must not be attached to plasterboard, light fittings, cornices, or any non-structural surface. The space is an internal stairwell with a high ceiling. Photos are attached. There is currently a pendant light nearby, so the installer will need to assess the best fixing location and make sure the system does not interfere with the stairs, balustrade, light, window, or walking path. Requirements: Inspect the stairwell and ceiling/wall structure before installation. Identify safe fixing points, ideally into structural timber, steel, or another appropriate load-bearing member. Recommend the safest pulley, hoist, bracket, rope, anchor, and fixing setup. Use load-rated hardware only. Ensure the system is stable and safe for repeated use. Confirm the safe working load before installation. Make sure the installation does not create a falling-object risk over the stairs. Advise if a builder, engineer, or permit is required before proceeding. Leave the area clean and tidy after installation. Please only respond if you have experience with load-bearing fixtures, lifting systems, structural fixing, rigging, or similar installations. Budget: $600 for assessment and installation labour. Materials can be discussed separately if required. Important: Safety is the priority. I do not want a basic DIY hook installed into plaster. I need a proper, safe, stable, load-rated solution.
