    We needed some flat pack furniture fixed up and could not get anyone to come and have a look for 2 weeks. Chris came out the next day after we called him and fixed the furniture perfectly. Chris was extremely professional and friendly and I would highly recommend for anyone that needs any handyman work done!

    Really happy with how prompt Chris was in replying to my initial enquiry and coming around to install x2 3x3x3m shade sails which he did smoothly and efficiently. They look great and fingers crossed when the sun comes back out they are going to knock some afternoon sun from over heating the room. Will keep you updated on that one. Was really happy with Chris, his work and the price and will definitely be getting him back.

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.
