Ways to earn money as a Handyman on Airtasker

Maintaining a home or business always comes with repairs, but not everyone has the time or know-how to handle them properly. That’s why handyman jobs thrive on Airtasker. From homeowners and renters to business owners and employers, there’s always a demand for skilled help to solve everyday problems.

What this might mean for you is a steady flow of opportunities to turn your skills into income while helping others with tasks they’d rather not tackle on their own. By signing up as a Tasker, you can connect directly with clients in need and make a name for yourself as the go-to handyman in your area.

Whether you prefer taking on the occasional odd jobs to top up your income or accommodating repairs of any scale to build a full-time business, Airtasker has handyman jobs to match your lifestyle. As long as you’ve got the right skill set, the right tools, and a good work ethic, you’re guaranteed to earn.

Home repairs

General repairs are at the heart of handyman work. Fixing doors that won’t close properly, patching holes in plaster, replacing worn handles — these are tasks you’ll encounter almost every day on Airtasker. While these handyman jobs may seem small, they quickly add up and can fill your schedule with steady bookings. 

The more tasks you can confidently complete, the more opportunities you’ll have to earn. Having a broad toolkit and a flexible approach can certainly help you pick up a wider range of repairs. For plus points, show up with spare parts, fillers, and a variety of tools to save clients time and position yourself as someone who prefers to get things sorted fast and without fuss. 

Outdoor maintenance

Handyman jobs aren’t limited to the indoors. There are several outdoor tasks you can take on, from repairing gates or fixing decks to assembling garden sheds. These jobs can be physically demanding, but they’re also an opportunity to charge a little more due to the skills and tools required. 

It’s a solid income stream because outdoor jobs tend to recur, especially when seasons change. Expanding your toolkit with gardening equipment, a mower, or a pressure washer allows you to offer more services, while cordless power tools, saws, and protective gear keep you prepared for a variety of outdoor challenges. You can also suggest regular upkeep to turn one-off tasks into long-term arrangements.

Furniture assembly

Flat-pack furniture can test anyone’s patience, which is why furniture assembly is one of the most common handyman jobs on Airtasker. These tasks usually involve putting together items from IKEA, Fantastic Furniture, or other retailers, and range from simple bedside tables to large wardrobes or outdoor settings.

It’s a reliable way to earn because new furniture is always being purchased, and most people prefer to outsource the tricky bits of the process. Make sure you bring the tools you need, like power drills, Allen keys, and screwdrivers, to help you complete jobs safely and efficiently. If you’re friendly, tidy, and able to explain how items function once assembled, customers are more likely to leave five-star reviews and recommend you to friends. 

Mounting and installations

Another great stream of handyman jobs is wall mounting and small installations. This might include putting up TVs, shelves, picture frames, or even curtain rods. Homeowners prefer having their décor or tech installed securely, so they’re often happy to pay an expert who can do it with precision. These jobs are especially appealing because they’re quick to complete but still require specialized knowledge.

If you’re skilled in measuring and leveling, and if you have an eye for the right fixings for different wall types, then you’re a shoo-in for this type of task. Set yourself up for success by investing in a good stud finder, level, and drill. Customers also appreciate handymen who can offer sound advice on the best placement or help them choose the right fittings. Since people regularly add or upgrade items around their homes, adding value in such ways might be your key to building trust and securing repeat work.

Flat-pack disassembly and removals

Sometimes clients also need another pair of hands to help dismantle furniture, especially when they’re busy moving houses. These handyman jobs are often one-and-done, but they pay well and easily fit in between larger projects. Having your own transport is a big advantage here, since clients would typically need the items removed entirely or moved from one place to another once they’re disassembled. 

Tips to increase your handyman earnings

A proven way to keep your handyman earnings steady is to stay flexible with the handyman jobs you accept. Whether it’s a minor repair job for a household or a long-term maintenance agreement for a commercial space, variety helps expand your clientele and job opportunities.

Clients also value Taskers who care for their property. Leaving the spaces you’ve worked on clean and tidy after each job makes a strong impression. Arriving with the right tools and a positive attitude — and staying punctual while you’re at it — also sets the tone for a smooth job. Technical skills will get the task done, but it’s the soft skills that will win you more work.
