Whether it’s your home or an investment property, keeping it well-maintained is key to preserving its value and appeal. But when repairs or improvements are needed, how do you make sure you’re hiring someone who’s skilled, trustworthy and cost-effective?
The solution lies in tapping into trusted networks, either through personal recommendations or through established trades platforms that match qualified handypeople with homeowners based on location, experience and job type.
Trusted platforms at your fingertips
Across Australia and New Zealand, platforms like Handy Man Near Me, Handy Manners, and Airtasker are connecting homeowners with thousands of verified tradespeople. These services are built to help you find reliable professionals quickly, taking the hassle out of home maintenance and upgrades.
Why use a verified trades network?
Going through a reputable agency means every listed handyperson has been screened and approved. This includes checks on qualifications, work history, customer feedback and overall suitability for the job. It’s not just about finding someone who can do the work, it’s about finding the right fit for your property and your budget.
By working with tradespeople who’ve built up strong ratings and reviews, you’ll feel more confident in the outcome and they’re motivated to deliver a high standard every time.
Quotes, comparisons and peace of mind
Using a recognised platform gives you access to multiple quotes, helping you find the right balance between price and quality. You’re also able to compare reviews and services offered, which makes choosing the best candidate that much easier.
Many small jobs are put off not due to cost, but uncertainty. Should you patch the wall or replace it? Re-seal the bathroom or go for a full refresh? Having a professional to guide you makes all the difference and saves you from bigger costs down the track.

The process is simple: register your details, list the task, and wait for quotes to come through from qualified locals. There’s no obligation, and the quotes are usually free. You can take the time to compare options, read reviews, and select the Tradie who ticks all your boxes.
Some homeowners have reported savings of up to 40% simply by comparing quotes and choosing someone through a trades listing platform.
