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.

Quick job - unscrew ceiling fan glass cover for light bulb

$25

Richmond VIC 3121, Australia

22nd Aug 2026

I have a ceiling fan with a glass light cover that I’m trying to remove, but it seems to be screwed on very tightly. I’ve tried carefully unscrewing it myself but don’t want to force it and risk breaking the glass or damaging the fitting. Looking for someone to come and safely loosen and remove the glass cover. It should hopefully be a very quick/simple job with the right technique or tools. No electrical work is required — just removing the stuck glass cover. Located in Richmond. Ideally Sunday morning or Monday/Tuesday evening.

Stephen was very friendly and helped us fix our issue, while also giving us tips for the next time it occurs. Would use him again :)

Help unscrew blind chain from wall safely

$100

South Melbourne VIC 3205, Australia

15th Aug 2026

I need help installing an Aqara Roller Shade Driver E1 on an existing roller blind. The Aqara unit itself is straightforward, but the existing blind chain setup makes me reluctant to do it myself. The chain guide/tensioner has recently been repaired and appears to have been attached to the wall using putty/adhesive rather than screws (see photo). Because I'm renting, I don't want to pull on it, damage the wall, or accidentally pull the blind fitting off while trying to access/reposition the chain. I already have: Aqara Roller Shade Driver E1 Original Aqara mounting bracket 3M adhesive mounting strip Chain adapters/accessories supplied with the unit I'm looking for someone with experience with roller blinds, blind chains or smart blind motors who can: Work out the safest way to install the Aqara driver with the existing chain setup Avoid damaging or pulling out the existing chain guide/tensioner Install the driver securely, preferably without drilling Set the correct chain tension and position Make sure the blind runs smoothly up and down once installed As this is a rental, the priority is a clean, reversible installation with minimal disturbance to the existing blind hardware. I've attached photos of the current chain fitting and the Aqara unit/bracket so you can see what you're working with.

Very helpful and nice. Would recommend and hire again

Routine Cleaning, Oiling & Maintenance for Timber Roof Deck

$450

Fitzroy VIC 3065, Australia

4th Sep 2026

I am looking for someone with specific experience in timber deck maintenance and oiling (not just a general handyman) to perform some routine upkeep on my roof deck. Deck Size: 3.8m x 4.8m (approx. 18.2m²) Please see the attached photo for reference. Scope of Work: 1. Clear the deck: Move pots, outdoor furniture, firewood, and other items off the surface. 2. Deep clean: Thoroughly sweep and wash the deck (including between the boards) using a specialized, appropriate timber/deck cleaner. 3. Inspect and prep: Check for minor issues like rough areas, splinters, or raised screws and address them. Lightly spot-sand any areas that need it (a full sand is not required unless you deem it absolutely necessary). 4. Oil/Stain: Apply the appropriate number of coats (likely two) of an outdoor decking oil or stain to restore and protect the timber. The goal is to match the existing treatment. 5. Pot risers: Supply and place small pot feet/risers underneath the larger pots to prevent them from sitting directly on the wood and trapping moisture. 6. Pack up: Once the deck is completely dry, put all the furniture, firewood, and pots back in their original places. Important Quote Requirements: 1. All-Inclusive: Your quote must include all labour and materials (the deck cleaner, the decking oil/stain, and the pot feet/risers). 2. Product check: Please advise what specific oil/stain product you propose using in your offer/before starting the job. 3. Experience: Please only apply if you have specific experience with deck maintenance and can show good reviews for similar tasks.
