Handyman help from local taskers

Small jobs pile up: a door that sticks after the humidity changes, draughty windows before winter, a towel bar that pulled out of the drywall. Post them on Taskeeu and local taskers can bid on the whole list.

Describe each job and add photos. Licensed electrical, gas and plumbing work belongs with licensed trades, so keep tasks to general repairs.

Typical jobs

• Hang shelves, mirrors and art
• Install weatherstripping on doors and windows
• Recaulk a bathtub or shower
• Fix a sticking interior door
• Patch holes in drywall
• Install blinds and curtain rods
• Swap cabinet handles and hinges
• Replace a toilet seat or shower head

Tips

• Group several small jobs into one task.
• Add photos of each problem area.
• Say whether you have the parts or the tasker should buy them.
• Mention wall type: drywall, plaster or concrete.

Agree which parts are included, how materials are paid for, and how long the visit should take. Work that legally needs a licensed electrician, plumber or gas fitter should not be posted as a general task.

Frequently asked questions

Can a tasker do electrical work?

Electrical work in Canada is regulated provincially. Hire a licensed electrician for wiring jobs.

Can I list several jobs?

Yes. A list of small jobs in one task often makes the visit worthwhile for the tasker.

Who buys the materials?

Either side. The tasker can request an advance of up to 50% for materials, which you approve.

Can they winterize my home?

General jobs like weatherstripping, caulking and putting away hoses are common handyman tasks.

How do I check the work?

Ask for photo proof and inspect the job before sharing your completion code.
