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.

Handyman needed for 2 simple indoor tasks (Heater mount & window seal)

$100

Spence, Australian Capital Territory

11th Apr 2026

Hi there, ​I am currently recovering from an injury and am unable to use one of my hands, so I need a reliable handyman to assist with two simple jobs around the apartment before the colder weather sets in. ​The Tasks: ​Window Insulation: Apply an EPDM sponge to the right vertical side of a window sill to act as temporary weather insulation, as the window is stuck a little bit open and I'll hire a handyman to fix it properly later. You don't need to do the whole sill, just that one side. Note: I already have the EPDM sponge ready to go, and it has an adhesive backing so no additional glue is necessary. ​Mount Bedroom Heater: Securely mount a heater to the bedroom wall. I already have the heater here, and I believe it comes with wall mounting brackets in the box. It also comes with castors, which will be our Plan B if wall-mounting ends up not being possible. I have a stud finder available for you to use. ​Tools and Hardware: Please note that I will only be providing the EPDM sponge, the heater (along with its included brackets and castors), and a stud finder. You will need to bring your own tools and any other necessary materials (such as your preferred screws or wall anchors for the heater, just in case the supplied ones aren't suitable) to complete the work. ​Location is an apartment in Belconnen. Please let me know your availability!

Very polite and very friendly, thank you for a stellar job!
