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

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.

I have 3 handyman jobs to complete: 1. Assemble and wall-mount new bathroom cabinet (still in box) - New flat-pack shaving cabinet, approx. 1200 mm wide and 30 kg according to the box. - Existing cabinet has already been removed, and the wall is cleared/prepared (see photos). - Cabinet needs to be assembled and securely mounted to the wall. - I can install the cabinet doors afterwards, so no need to fit/adjust the doors. - Two people will be available at the property and can assist with lifting the cabinet into position if required. 2. Relocate existing bathroom cabinet to laundry - Existing approx. 900 mm cabinet has already been removed. - I would like it securely mounted on the laundry wall above the laundry sink (location shown in photos). - I have the existing screws/wall plugs from its previous installation, although please use your own suitable fixings if these aren't appropriate or you have a preference. 3. Mount decorative coat/clothes hooks. - Small metal hook rack to be mounted on bedroom wall. - I have marked the preferred position and have some screws/wall plugs available. - There is a light switch on the opposite side of this wall, so I'd like you to sense-check my markings to avoid wiring/studs before drilling and adjust the fixing position if necessary. Please bring appropriate tools, wall fixings and ideally a stud/electrical detector. Photos attached showing all three areas/items. No plumbing or electrical work required. I am free all weekend and Monday morning. The sooner the better.

Install 8 Single Extendable Curtain Rods – Tullimbar NSW 2527

$350

Calderwood NSW 2527, Australia

15th Aug 2026

Hi, I’m looking for a reliable handyman to install 8 single extendable curtain rods at my home in Tullimbar. The curtain rod sets were recently purchased from Bunnings. The walls are standard gyprock/plasterboard, and the maximum ceiling height is around 2.9 metres. What I’m after: * Install 8 curtain rods above standard windows * Position the rods around 10–15 cm above the top of the window architrave * Extend the rod/brackets around 20–30 cm past each side of the window * Make sure everything is straight, level and securely fixed * Maximum ceiling height is approximately 2.9 m I already have the Bunnings curtain rod sets and the screws that came with them. As the walls are gyprock, I’m not sure whether the supplied screws will be suitable. Please bring suitable heavy-duty plasterboard anchors (such as toggle bolts or hollow-wall anchors) in case the brackets don’t line up with timber studs. I’m happy to reimburse the cost of any extra hardware used. Please bring your usual tools, including a drill, level, stud finder and any other tools normally required for this type of installation. When making an offer, please let me know your price and general availability. Thanks!
