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.

Looking for someone experienced with roller blind repairs. The beaded pull chain on my roller blind appears to have shifted/misaligned.

Rushcutters Bay NSW 2011, Australia

1st Aug 2026

Hi, I’m looking for an experienced handyman to help pest-proof my ground floor apartment. The apartment has a small courtyard, and I’m trying to prevent cockroaches from entering the apartment. Job 1 – Inspect and seal potential entry points Please inspect and seal any visible gaps, cracks or openings along the exterior-facing wall between the courtyard and bathroom, especially near the floor. I’d also appreciate it if you could check other potential entry points nearby, such as: * wall/floor junctions * around window frames * around pipe penetrations (if applicable) Please use a durable, long-term solution suitable for outdoor/moist environments rather than a temporary cosmetic repair. ⸻ Job 2 – Install a flyscreen for an existing louvre window The existing window is a louvre (jalousie) window. The glass blades rotate within the window frame (they do not swing outward). I’d like to keep the existing window and install a custom flyscreen, ideally on the outside (courtyard side) if feasible, while keeping the louvre window fully functional. I’m open to your recommendations for the best installation method after inspection. ⸻ Please include: * Labour and material costs * Estimated duration * Similar work you’ve completed (if any) Photos are attached. Thanks!
