Customer reviews are highly positive. During our interview with past clients, it was frequently mentioned that the team was polite, responded promptly, and provided a quick estimate on the services.
Just a heads up though, some also reported that cancellations often happen due to overbooking and busy schedules.
I had a fantastic experience with Canberra Handyman
“They responded immediately to my queries and booked in the job quickly. The job was ‘out of the box’, turning two under-bench cupboards into a dog hutch. Nai came up with a fantastic, structurally safe solution and did a great job. My dogs and I are very happy. Thank you, Canberra Handyman!”

Will call them again
“Nai responded quickly with a request for a quote for the internal painting of our house. Nai gave us a great quote and began work three days later. Our painting looks fabulous. We are so happy. Nai was recommended to us by two different friends and I will be recommending him to others. Thanks, Nai.”

2. Westside Handyman and Gardening

Phone: +61401532605
Hours:
- Monday to Friday 7:00 am – 5:00 pm
- Saturday and Sunday 7:00 am – 4:00 pm
Westside Handyman and Gardening combines their specialty in gardening and cleaning with handyman services for both residential and commercial properties.
They’re the kind of company that can do any home improvement service – from fence repairs, carpentry and landscaping. This kind of adaptability goes a long way for homeowners who want one reliable contact for multiple tasks.
It’s honestly refreshing to know that there’s a company that can do any odd job – whether indoors or outdoors – as many handyman services shy away from anything too diverse.
At the same time, this wide range of services can be a potential drawback because having multiple jobs in line can limit the workers’ availability, and it might take longer to secure an appointment.
On the other hand, past clients praise the team’s thorough work and prompt response to any queries. Not to mention, the services are fairly priced too!
Great job
“I recently had Omar and his gang clean my mum’s yard to prepare her house for sale. Her block is 1200 square meters and totally overgrown. They did an amazing job mowing, whipper snipping the edges, trimming branches and all over, tidying up the whole yard. I can’t recommend them enough for their professional services, as well as reasonable pricing.”
– Rhonda Daley, Google Reviews
Fabulous service
“Need any handy work or gardening? You are in the right place. I have asked Omar to do some work several times at my shop and all I can say about their service is fabulous in all of what the word has in meaning. Thank you Omar and to your team.”

3. Wally’s Executive Home Management

Phone: +61419466148
Hours: Monday to Friday 8:00 am – 4:00 pm
Wally’s Executive Home Management caters to all aspects of home and property improvement services. What’s great is that its team includes certified experts who are ready to tackle any job for residential and commercial needs.
This is honestly such a big plus because the services cover the whole scope, and any job – whether big or small – can be tackled.
Wally’s most popular service is roof repairs, which is commonly an urgent need in Canberra after storm season (September to February).
Past customers highly praise the clear communication, punctuality, and high-quality work. Not to mention, the team always makes sure not to leave a mess behind.
However, the services can be expensive due to the commercial-grade service.
I am a customer for life!
“I cannot recommend Wally and his team highly enough. I engaged him to paint my house inside and out, to refinish my deck, and to repair a badly squeaking floor and to lay a floating floor on top. Wally and his team were courteous, friendly and easy to deal with throughout. He is a perfectionist and all the work was completed to the highest standard and in good time. I am more than happy with the result. Thank you Wally!”
– Rosemary Birch, Google Reviews
This team was by far the best experience we’ve had
“He came to an inspection on the day I called and repaired our roof the next morning. Super clear communication and recommendation for the repair. They went above and beyond to make sure we could barely spot the damage anymore. They were not rushed and spent the time they needed to ensure enough effort went into the job (this seemed impossible to me before the interaction with Wally’s team). Cannot recommend enough for any type of repair/work that is needed on the house. Thank you.”

4. Down the Rabbit Hole (Aust) Pty Ltd

Phone: +61423720317
Hours:
- Monday to Thursday 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
- Friday 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
Down the Rabbit Hole focuses on expert gardening and outdoor services, such as seasonal garden maintenance, landscaping, and rubbish removals. So it’s basically the company taking the responsibility for the upkeep of your outdoor maintenance.
The company brings a design-forward approach, offering custom garden designs that not only improve how your home looks from the outside but also consider the environment.
That’s why these designs often integrate sustainable solutions such as composting systems and water-wise layouts.
During our interview, past customers would often describe them as knowledgeable and precise with the services, punctual, and approachable.
However, the services are mainly only for outdoor projects, so if you’re looking for indoor fixes like cracked tiles, we suggest considering other options.
Highly recommended
“Michael has been attending to my fairly high maintenance garden on a regular basis for several months now. It is still a work in progress to get it under control, but I have every confidence he will get it there. I find Michael an approachable and thoughtful person who is able to communicate advice well. He turns up on time and works efficiently. I certainly would be happy to recommend him to anyone who needs gardening work done.”
– Peter Campbell, Google Reviews
Fantastic job!
“Michael did some work on my garden before my end of lease inspection, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. He listened carefully to what I wanted done and did everything perfectly, my garden looks perfectly tidy right now. Michael pays good attention to detail and is super considerate in his communication. I highly recommend him and his company and will definitely hire him again next time I need help with the garden. Thanks so much for your hard work!”

5. Hire A Hubby Weston Creek

Phone: +61 1800 803 339
Hours: Monday to Friday 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
Hire A Hubby specializes in handyman and property maintenance, offering a long list of services. They also offer seasonal maintenance, which is perfect for owners who want to keep their properties in the best shape no matter the weather in Canberra.
And the best thing is installment plans are available if an upfront full payment is not plausible for the customer.
Past clients described them as reliable and communicative, as the crew delivered impressive results. Plus, the pricing is affordable, and the team can work on both indoor and outdoor jobs for homeowners and small commercial clients.
The only drawback is that there can be minor delays if the in-house team is booked, as the company often outsources to partner contractors.
Highly recommend their services
“It’s a pleasure to write a review for Weston Creek Hire-A-Hubby and their painting contractor, Paul. After a frustrating experience with other painters—receiving no responses to inquiries or quotes after site visits—Hire-A-Hubby stood out for their responsiveness, professionalism, and competitive pricing. Paul, in particular, was incredibly helpful, polite, and trustworthy. I’m beyond satisfied with his excellent work and the final results.”
– Teresa Scott, Google Reviews
Reliable team
Troy and Jane are a dream team to work with – professional, hardworking and reliable. We were particularly pleased with their responsive attitude from fitting us in at short notice, providing a clear itemised quote and keeping us updated on progress. Troy did an exceptional job replacing our concrete driveway that was heavily damaged by tree roots with a lovely granite. Also fixed our damaged garage matching to the original paint colour perfectly. Recommend to anyone looking for a handyman who you can trust will get the job done right the first time with no fuss.
