I'm very happy with my experience working with Arthur. He ordered the part I needed to fix my oven (ignitor) and worked hard to manage the replacement. He also checked for wiring issues in my kitchen outlets and replaced 2 of them. Thus far no issues. He also provided advice on some other jobs and I'm sure I will be hiring him again for 2 of them.

Top Handyman related questions

Local handyman services can cost anywhere between $40 to $120 per hour, depending on the complexity of the task, the time and tools required, and your location. To get a more accurate estimate, request a detailed quote from your Tasker.

Posting a job on Airtasker is the best way to find an expert in home maintenance service near you. The transparent review system on the platform can help you select the most qualified Tasker to complete your task to a high standard.

It varies depending on your handyman's skill set. They may either specialise in particular areas or offer general home maintenance services. To make sure you get the right expert, be as specific and detailed when posting your task.

A handyman typically handles smaller, day-to-day repairs and maintenance tasks around the home. On the other hand, a contractor manages larger-scale projects that require specific licences and expertise, taking on tasks like project management and coordination.

Handyman services can cover minor electrical tasks such as replacing light fixtures, installing ceiling fans, replacing outlets and switches, and installing new electrical appliances. However, they may not be licenced to work on more complex tasks such as wiring upgrades or major repairs. For any electrical work that poses potential safety hazards, consult a qualified electrician.

Yes, many handymen provide emergency repair services for urgent issues like replacing broken locks, fixing leaking taps, minor electrical faults, or patching damaged drywall. However, availability may vary based on location and the type of emergency. For critical issues like major plumbing issues or electrical problems, a licensed specialist may be required.

Absolutely! Most handymen offer multiple services in a single visit, making them a convenient option for tackling a to-do list of repairs, installations, or home maintenance tasks. You can book them for a range of jobs like repairing furniture, fixing door handles, installing shelves, and even minor interior painting touch-ups—all in one session.

Yes, while handymen can handle many home repair and maintenance tasks, there are some jobs they cannot legally perform without the proper licence. In Australia, major electrical, plumbing, and structural work typically require a licensed contractor. Similarly, tasks like gas fitting, asbestos removal, or large-scale renovations should be handled by specialised professionals. Always check local regulations before hiring a handyman for complex jobs.

Top General Maintenance related questions

General maintenance services refer to the broad range of tasks that are involved in maintaining, cleaning, and repairing a space. Usually, these tasks won’t require high skill levels, but they will require a general knowledge of how things work and what tools are best for the job.

Maintenance workers’ duties usually involve taking care of a set area. They’re responsible for cleaning and minor repairs, ensuring the space is well maintained.

Common projects for general maintenance workers are fixing wall/ceiling damage around a home or business, replacing tiles, replacing tap washers, cleaning and replacing filters on appliances, and removing built-up leaves and debris from roofing and gutters. You can also hire them for mailbox replacement if needed - know how much it costs to replace and install a mailbox before booking a task. 

General maintenance requires a broad range of general skills and tools. They should be able to confidently handle a pressure washer, drill, hammer, screwdriver, paintbrush, sander, and saw.

While most maintenance technicians bring their own toolkit and general supplies, it’s best to check what equipment is needed for your job ahead of time. Consumables like paint, detergents, and nails may need to be supplied.

General maintenance costs between $100-$260 for most jobs booked on Airtasker. But the price will depend on what you need to be done and how many hours it’ll take your maintenance technician.

General Maintenance

What do handyman services include?

Save yourself the hassle of tackling home maintenance and repairs yourself, especially if you don’t possess the proper training or tools for them. Airtasker can simplify the process for you by connecting you with a reliable and competent handyman near you. 


Here are some tasks you can request from your hired handyman:


General handyman services

Most handymen are jack-of-all-trades who can handle just about any repair or maintenance needs around the house. By hiring one, you can complete several tasks at once, from ripping up carpets and hanging doors to changing light bulbs. 


Indoor installations and repairs

Have you recently bought homewares you’re finding hard to install? Or have a couple of broken appliances but can’t afford to purchase replacements? A tradesperson can help resolve these minor hiccups. Handymen can lend a hand with tasks like installing blinds or curtain rods, fitting the kitchen sink, setting up pet doors, and even wallpapering. Need to set up a home security system? You can also book a Tasker to do this for you.


Outdoor installations and repairs

Your outdoor area has to endure a great deal, from heavy rains to smoke and stains from a recent cookout. Help your backyard withstand whatever nature (or your family) throws at it for longer by getting outdoor items expertly installed or repaired. Find a handyman near you who can help install your garden shed or clothesline, repair windows, fit outdoor blinds, or fix your mower. 


Bricklaying and building work

If you require any building work or bricklaying, you can expect Taskers to be able to provide these handyman services. Get an experienced builder to put up garden walls, repair loose brickwork, install MDF, or construct a chicken coop for you. To maintain these areas, book separate services for gardening work or brick cleaning as necessary.


Wall hanging

Looking to free up space in your living room or garage? Hire a handyman to mount your TV or bike on the wall. Instead of tackling it yourself, get an expert to make sure everything's level and securely fastened. They can handle picture frames, mirrors, or even heavier items like dryers. Need to repair your TV unit beforehand? Book a separate service for that on Airtasker.


Furniture repair

Tradespeople may specialize in different areas, so it’s important to specify the type of furniture you want them to repair. For instance, you should hire a handyman with carpentry experience to work on your wooden coffee table, wardrobe, or sofa bed. Meanwhile, an expert in electrical work may be your best choice for repairing ceiling fans or digital fitness equipment.


Home maintenance

Having quick access to home maintenance services makes it a lot easier to keep your house in great shape. You can rely on local handyman services for things like cleaning the gutters, pressure-washing driveways and paths, resealing windows and doors, and handling minor roof repairs. Prevent small problems from turning into costly ones and keep your home looking good and running smoothly with regular home maintenance.

Remotely build a Bed/Ceiling Mount/Stand and Installed at Customers

$350

Westminster CA 92683, USA

Oct 6th 2025

*Apologies for not being able to reply to the ones that made an offer before. Please feel free to make an offer again. I had thought that i would have to accept the offer first in order to converse with the Tasker. *Please add Material Cost Installed with Customers help if needed. Was hoping to build a contraption as big as my bed frame and almost as tall as the ceiling. It would need to be able to hold a TV Ceiling mount for a TV weighing about “22lbs” and an automated TV mount weighing about “18.5 lbs”. Not quite sure what type of wood to use for the LEGS to be able to support the WOOD, MOUNT, and TV on top. Support on each side for leg stabilization. The mount/stand should also have (1 inch) of space (Left, Right and in Front) of the bed frame. (The TV should also be able to move from “my side towards the middle” and forward and back with some type of shielding for the sliding parts to prevent wood on wood friction.) Felt or rubber pads for the legs to protect the floor. Varnished to look as close to the color of the bed frame and Polished for a nice smooth finish. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this post.

Jesse was AWESOME! He was able build my dream ceiling mount with precision! Will definitely contact him again for future tasks. Thank you again Jesse!

He even noticed a small issue with one of my doors and kindly made a quick adjustment — no fuss, just handled it with ease. He was efficient, thoughtful, and clearly takes pride in his work. I’ll definitely be booking him again in the future!
