What level of service should I expect from a handyman near me?

A local handyman should provide a clear estimate before starting any work, bring the tools and materials needed for the job, and complete tasks efficiently while maintaining a tidy workspace. They should leave your home in good order with repairs or installations finished to a high standard.

Should I ask to see examples of a handyman’s previous work?

Yes. It’s helpful to see photos of past projects such as furniture assembly, wall mounting, or home repairs to get a sense of their workmanship. Many handymen show examples of completed jobs on their MyBuilder profiles to give you confidence in the results.

What types of jobs can a handyman help with?

Local handymen often take on a wide range of domestic tasks, including putting up shelves, mounting TVs, assembling flat-pack furniture, fixing doors or locks, and completing small painting or maintenance jobs. If you’re unsure, describe your project when posting your job. Many handymen can handle multiple types of work.

How should I prepare before a handyman arrives?

Clear the space where the work will take place and make sure any fixtures or items that might get in the way are moved. If materials or fittings are required, confirm whether you or the handyman will supply them beforehand to avoid delays.

What should I check before hiring a handyman?

Before choosing handyman services near you, review profile information on MyBuilder, including job history and feedback from other customers. Make sure to confirm details like cost, duration, and what’s included in the service to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Painting & Decorating- 28 May 2021
I was very impressed from start to finish. I had a home visit followed by a quote within a couple of days of posting a job; the quote was comprehensive and clear and there were no unexpected changes to the cost. The quality of the work was first class; the wallpaper in our study was stripped, a skim of plaster was applied, followed by a base coat and 2 coats of paint. The finish is excellent and we're so happy with results. Thank you so much for your professionalism and speedy work.

Tiling- 15 Oct 2018
The tiling job has been done nicely! Peter is very nice and friendly and always makes sure the work is done to our expectation (and with alternation even after the start). Good to have Peter and his son in Shirley as our local builder. Also gave additional (was not in his work scope) and very helpful advise on the leaking on the roof so I can explained to my other builder who did the extension.

Ricardo was great to deal with and very professional. The job was significantly harder than either of us had thought. He spent a lot longer than I imagine he was planning to getting the clock on the wall as it required a little creative thinking on his part. I would definitely recommend Ricardo to anyone.

I cannot recommend Piotr highly enough. He recently completed a full decoration of my one-bedroom apartment while I was overseas. Despite the distance, communication was seamless. He was entirely trustworthy with the property and executed the job to an exceptionally high standard. A truly professional experience from a great tradesman.

Richard Bond was excellent. He answered my request even though it was a Sunday. Quoted for the job online and turned up on time the next day to view the job in person. The cost remained the same. He was able to start straight away and complete the job the same day. He was an extremely hard worker and finished the job at 8.45pm! Very impressed with his work, which is done to a very high standard and finish. He exceeded expectation and I would highly recommend him. Will definitely be using his services in the future. Thank you Richard for doing a great job!

He renovated the whole of my house - the kitchen, the toilets and the two bedrooms. He did the flooring for the sitting room and the hallway, as well as painting the whole house. I found him after a friend has used him and was pleased with is work - we trusted his judgement. My friend took me to his house and I fell in love! Very happy with the work. I trusted him completely and the job was done on time. The finish is great. I would definitely recommend him to others.

Stuart was punctual and reliable. He was very clean and tidy. Excellent job. Stuart is very conscientious and took more time on the job to ensure it was done properly, having to come back the next day because of bad weather. The end result was fantastic. Would definitely recommend his services.
