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.

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

Custom Flyscreen Supply & Installation – Heritage Apartment Window

$225

Potts Point NSW 2011, Australia

15th Sep 2026

Looking for someone experienced with custom flyscreens to measure, supply and install a high-quality flyscreen for the bathroom window shown in the photos. The apartment is in a heritage-protected Art Deco building, so I would prefer to avoid anything that materially alters the exterior appearance or requires inappropriate modification of the original window. For that reason, the screen will most likely need to be installed internally. I still need to be able to easily access and open/close the existing window, so I’m interested in a removable, magnetic, hinged or retractable solution, rather than a permanently fixed screen that blocks access. I’m open to other suggestions if there is a better way to achieve this. I’m looking for a custom, neat and relatively premium solution that suits the existing timber window and looks properly integrated rather than like a basic DIY stick-on mesh screen. The job would ideally include: * Site measurement * Advice on the most appropriate type of screen * Supply of the custom screen/frame and all necessary hardware * Installation Please include materials and installation in your quote, and examples/photos of similar custom flyscreen work would be appreciated.
