General information

What Jobs Can a Handyman Do?

The list of jobs a handyman can do is a long one. As a rule of thumb, you call on a handyman to do all those "little" jobs around the house you can't do yourself. For example:

•Painting: If you want to paint a room but don't feel it's a large enough job for a professional painter, many handymen are skillful painters.

•Wall hangings: Hanging paintings, mirrors, TVs and other heavy objects can be tricky and even dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. A handyman knows which kind of hardware is needed to make sure object being mounted will stay mounted.

•Cleaning: There are many cleaning jobs that require a handyman's services. For example, if your driveway, pathway or patio floor needs cleaning, a handyman may be able to use a pressure hose to remove mould, dirt and grime and make it look like new again.

•Gardening: While you want to call a professional gardener for some jobs, a handyman comes in "handy" for a multitude of gardening jobs.

•Carpentry: Do you need to hang some shelves or have a new door fitted? A handyman can do these and many other small carpentry and carpentry-related jobs for you. While a licensed builder is required for larger structures, a handyman can even erect a shed, cubby house or other small structure for you in some states.

•Kit and flatpack installation: Carports, kitchen cabinets, furniture and many other things often come in kit or flatpack form. A handyman will have the tools and skills to install these for you.
