    Paul and Backyard Mates were brilliant. We'd had multiple quotes to prepare and install a deck and pergola on the rear of our house plus attach an existing awning to the front. Paul was super responsive, came out and quoted quickly. Him and his team worked solidly for 5 days and created the best outdoor space for us. Brilliant craftsmanship and just a lovely bloke. Highly recommend.

    Huge thanks to Paul and Tim! Paul was efficient in organising Tim out to help me mount a 75inch TV on the same day I called him. He was clear with his quote and a pleasure to deal with over the phone and text. Great communication 👍🏼 Tim also did a fantastic job and was very accomodating with my requests. Super happy with how it looks, will definitely be calling them again for any future jobs!

    I am not the handiest person so it was somewhat of a godsend to meet Paul at a networking breakfast I attend. After hearing of the great work he’d done in his local community and for other members of our networking group I decided to get Paul to help with hanging a television and fixing a sliding door. Paul consistently said he’s happy to do small work - in fact, that he enjoys it. We have a list of other projects for Paul to work through. I have no hesitation to recommend Paul to others - in fact, I have done so regularly. If you’re looking for work to be done around your house, you should ring Paul and the team at Backyard Mates.

    Paul had done several smaller projects for us and we had always been impressed with the quality and value of his work. He has just finished building our new deck and it is sensational. Our block slopes so it was complicated and he provided great design suggestions, worked with our ideas and then provided an outstanding aesthetic and functional result. Couldn’t be happier!

    Paul and his team were awesome and we would really recommend them. Paul was so responsive and gave great advice on how we could achieve our plan at the best cost. His team were able to lay a bluestone slab, create a garden bed, lay artificial turf and complete a small decking step in under 1.5 days. Our courtyard was previously unusable, but we are now so excited to have an outdoor space for Summer. Hopefully we can get you back to help with our laundry!

Frequently asked questions

How much do handymen typically charge?
Costs vary widely depending on the task, its complexity and how long the job takes. Simple single-visit repairs or flatpack assembly are typically less than multi-item or specialist work that requires extra trades. This page shows live pricing to help you compare quotes and identify cost drivers.
Do handymen charge call-out fees?
Many handymen charge a call-out fee to attend a property, which is often separate from hourly labour and materials. After-hours attendance or weekend work commonly attracts higher rates. It's a good idea to confirm whether the call-out is included in the quote or charged separately.
What qualifications should I look for in a handyman?
Handymen are generally unlicensed for small jobs, so look for industry affiliations such as the Handyman and Home Maintenance Association, Housing Industry Association (HIA) membership or Master Builders involvement for larger-scope work. Check they hold an ABN, adequate public liability insurance and can provide a clear written quote separating labour and materials. For jobs that become large or high-value, confirm whether a state contractor licence or builder registration may be required.
Does Back Yard Mates have a verified ABN?
Yes. Back Yard Mates has completed ABN verification on SureQuote.
