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

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.

Handyman – patch & paint + install 2 IKEA shelves Hi, I’m looking for a quote for a few small jobs at my home: Patch & paint: Patch and repair the plaster on 3 walls where an old intercom system has been removed. All electrical/wiring work has already been completed and made safe by a licensed electrician — no electrical work is required. Once patched and sanded, paint the repaired areas to achieve a neat, consistent finish. Two walls are white and one is grey. I have the original paint pails here for both colours, which can be used if the paint is still suitable. Shelves: Install 2 x IKEA FJÄLLBO wall shelves in my son's bedroom. The walls are plasterboard with timber studs. The shelves are already assembled. Please locate the studs, level and securely install the shelves and supply the appropriate wall fixings. Ideally I'd like everything completed as part of the one job.

We have two retractable fly screens which meet the centre when opened. They’re about 1.9 m each.

Re-render section of upstairs balcony wall after roof repairs

$1,000

Carrum VIC 3197, Australia

19th Sep 2026

I’m looking for an experienced renderer to repair and re-render part of an exterior wall on an upstairs balcony in Carrum. Recent roof and gutter repairs around this wall have left some of the foam backing exposed near the top. The wall is approximately 3.2m high. The left section is about 97cm wide and has foam backing behind the render, while the adjoining section to the right has brick backing. There was previously a crack in the foam-backed section as the house settled, around the point where the different substrates meet. This was temporarily patched and painted, but I would now like the area properly repaired and re-rendered. My preference is to: 1) Re-render just the foam-backed section on the left, from top to bottom, rather than the entire wall if practical 2) Properly repair the exposed foam and previous cracked area 3) Include an expansion/control joint where the foam-backed and brick-backed sections meet if this is the appropriate way to prevent future cracking 4) Match the existing rendered texture and Colorbond Monument colour as closely as possible The entire two-storey wall is likely to be repainted shortly afterwards, so an absolutely perfect colour match isn’t essential. Access is from the upstairs balcony. Photos show the wall, exposed foam, previous repair and approximate dimensions. Please include all materials and let me know your proposed repair/rendering method when quoting. I can provide more photos if needed.

Cetin did an amazing job of re-rendering our wall, very professional. Highly recommended.
