What a service. We've used John several times for all sorts of jobs, the last being a custom made shelf that stretches across a whole wall. He listened to what we wanted and came back with a design which we loved. He is punctual, easy to work with and is very tidy. Also the standard of his work is exceptional.
In short I'd highly recommend him and we'll be using his services again. We contacted John to fix up a few things in our unit before renting it out. John is polite, punctual and friendly and did a good job of the tasks including tricky things like hanging doors. John offered helpful advice and we had no hesitation having him in our home while we were at work.
He went the extra mile, returning to adjust a door and also left us a spare shelf for the unit he had installed. We'll happily recommend John at Helping Hands to family and friends. This Balmain gate was designed with half-lap joinery for durability and built from treated pine to match the fence. This Annandale customer needed a cat door in a window, so I removed the glass and fit the door into a plywood panel, painted to withstand the weather.

Services
As you can see above, Helping Hands provides a broad property maintenance and repair service. If you don't see your job listed, don't worry, there's still a good chance I can still do it. By applying creative thinking and resourcefulness, I can often come up with a solution. And if I can't fix it, I might know someone who can.
It's often difficult to know what something will cost until I can evaluate it in person. That's why you can expect a free, no-obligation quote. That way you can get to know me and I can give you a fixed price, up front, so you will know what you can expect to pay before you agree to the work. By avoiding the hourly-rate approach, you're protected from any nasty cost surprises.
Beverly in Balmain needed a new gate. As she is elderly, her daughters met me on site and we discussed an economical approach that fit with the surrounding fence. I used half-lap joints in the frame for longevity and durability. Our clients in Five Dock needed a way to keep their kayak's from cluttering the back yard.

A good reliable handyman who knows exactly what to do, is hard to find. Courteous, professional and reliable, we rely on John to deliver a great result to any client who inquires about a handyman that we might know. As a business it's imperative that we refer on great services. And this is one of those.

John is our handyman here at The Welcome Hotel in Rozelle. This guy is a Jack of all trades! He can do anything! His workmanship is fantastic and really affordable. Whenever there is a job for him to do, i can rest assured, that he will actually attend on the agreed day, on time and that the job will be done properly and promptly. I don't have to check up on him while he is working nor do I ever have to chase him to finish up a job. Hands down the best tradesman I have come across!

Finally - a reliable tradesperson in Sydney who returns your call, gives you an affordable and sensible quote and who actually turns up for the job! I called John with some urgent jobs and within 2 hours, he was at my front door ready to get the job done. I would highly recommend John @ Helping Hands Handyman for all jobs big and small. Quality workmanship and reliable.

We just bought a place and hired John to do a variety of jobs around the house. John is quite professional, friendly and got the job done within a reasonable timeframe. Where he was unable to do the work e.g. electricity-related, he was also able to contract out that work. His contractor also did an excellent job. Overall, we were pleased with his work and will use him again.
