At bike stores around town, I was told it would be a 4 week wait for a brake repair and general maintenance. Tim picked it up and dropped it off within 3 days - one day earlier than agreed. Fantastic job, highly recommended.

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.

Repair a broken door

$500

South Yarra VIC 3141, Australia

3rd Nov 2026

A toilet door at our café was forced open with a shoulder charge. It needs repairing and a lock change. Photos attached. Damage: Latch-side door jamb split and splintered along roughly 1m around the strike Strike plate torn out of the jamb, so the recess and screw holes need rebuilding Door stop bead snapped off (piece still on site) Door face chipped and gouged around the privacy turn and on the lock edge Hinges and alignment to be checked; door was knocked hard and may have shifted Work required: Repair or replace the damaged jamb section, refit the door stop, and fit a new strike plate. Make sure the door latches cleanly. Paint the jamb, stop and door in black to match. Disable the existing privacy turn by removing the pin so it no longer locks. It jams and caused this incident. Leave the hardware in place so there are no holes in the door, with the indicator set to green/vacant. The lever handle stays as a latch only. Install a Metlam 200 Lock and Indicator as the only working lock. It must open from the outside in an emergency. Check hinges and adjust if needed. Confirm the door, latch and new lock all line up before painting.

Chaba was fabulous! Great workmanship and prompt easy service. Highly reccomend.
