What Homeowners Need to Know
By DBR Construction – Your Trusted Handyman Services in Auckland
Whether you're dealing with a leaking tap, loose door hinges, or need help with assembling furniture, a reliable handyman can make all the difference. But with so many service providers across Auckland, how do you know who to trust? At DBR Construction, we've seen what happens when small problems are left unchecked—or handled poorly. Here's our professional advice on choosing the right handyman for your home or rental property.
1. Look for Experience Across a Range of Tasks
A true handyman is a generalist with practical experience across multiple trades. From basic carpentry and plumbing repairs to tiling, gutter cleaning, and fence repairs, versatility is key. At DBR Construction, our team brings hands-on expertise in both small jobs and full-scale maintenance solutions.
2. Ask About Licensing and Insurance
In New Zealand, not all handyman tasks require a licensed builder—but if you're having work done that affects structural integrity or compliance, you want someone who understands the Building Code. Always ask if your handyman carries public liability insurance. It protects both you and the worker if something goes wrong.
3. Transparent Pricing Matters
A good handyman won’t keep you guessing. Ask for upfront estimates or hourly rates. In Auckland, handyman services typically range from $50–$100+ per hour, depending on the job complexity and tools involved. DBR Construction provides transparent pricing and clear scopes of work before we begin.
4. Check Local Reviews and Referrals
Word-of-mouth is powerful. Ask neighbours, property managers, or local online communities like Neighbourly or Facebook groups. Google Reviews and testimonials can also reveal a lot about reliability, punctuality, and workmanship.
5. Prioritise Communication and Professionalism
It might be a “small” job—but your time and home matter. Choose someone who shows up on time, communicates clearly, and respects your property. At DBR Construction, professionalism is part of our promise—whether we’re installing a shelf or repairing a deck.
