Did a great job. Thank you very much.

Replace rotten wood from a door jamb.

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.

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.

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.

Santa Ana CA 92703, USA

I am experiencing an issue with the steering on my 2018 Model X. The following symptoms have been observed: Unusual noise when turning the steering wheel – A noticeable sound occurs when I turn the wheel, especially at low speeds or when stationary. Steering feels inconsistent – There is a slight empty or loose feeling at certain points while turning, as if there is a gap or lack of resistance in the steering mechanism. Possible play in the steering system – The steering does not feel as solid as before, and there is a minor sensation of detachment or inconsistency in response. Please let me know if I need to provide any additional details. I would appreciate a diagnosis and any necessary repairs.

Drywall repair for small holes

$150

Lancaster CA 93536 8331, USA

Jan 16th 2025

I'm a new homeowner, and I tried to install a barn door in my main bathroom. It did not go as planned and now there are holes in the drywall where the lag bolts were for the rail of the door. I'm going to have the door installed professionally later but for now, l'd like just to restore drywall since this is new construction. This shouldn't be a tough job. I'm hoping to get a reasonable quote. l've removed the door and the rail is still installed. I will remove it but when I do, there will be several holes and 1 bolt that broke off into the drywall that I sawed down to try and cover. Above the door where the header board is is what needs repair. There are several holes.

Daniel was AMAZING to work with. He arrived early and got right to work on my little repair job. He even painted so now the drywall that was damaged with bolt holes looks like nothing ever happened. He’s really nice and puntual too. I highly recommend Daniel if you want something done right!
