Katy RosserIf you’ve ever tried to fix something around the house with nothing but a YouTube tutorial and wishful thinking, you know how quickly “I’ll just do it myself” can spiral out of control.
I once spent an entire Saturday trying to hang a single shelf. By the end, I had three extra holes in the wall and a shelf that slanted like the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
That was the last time I tried to DIY anything at home. I leave that to the experts now.
If you’re like me and want things fixed properly (without the stress or extra holes), we’ve done the research for you. Here are the top handymen in Auckland who can fix, build, and rescue your home from your own best intentions.
How much does it cost to hire a handyman in Auckland?
It usually costs at least $50 per hour to hire a handyman in Auckland. This is an estimate. The final price will depend on the complexity of the project and more.
1. MY Guy
Address: Faulder Avenue, Westmere
Contact Details: +64 800 469 489
Operating Hours:
- Monday to Thursday – 7:30 AM to 5 PM
- Friday – 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM
MY Guy is the handyman service for busy property managers and homeowners who want things done right, without any stress. If you value reliability, proactive care, and peace of mind, they’re definitely worth a look.
What makes MY Guy stand out is how they handle everything. Whether it’s a kitchen reno or commercial repairs, you’re dealing with just one company instead of juggling multiple contractors. It’s super convenient, especially if you have a long to-do list.
They’re also impressively proactive. One commercial client shared that MY Guy noticed a wiring issue that could have caused a major shutdown and sorted it out before it became a problem.
Safety is another big plus. MY Guy is Site Safety Certified, creates custom safety plans for each job, and backs up their work with a 12-month guarantee and full insurance. That gives us a lot of peace of mind.
The only downside? They’re in high demand, so you might have to wait a week or so for non-urgent jobs.

2. Inseason Handyman n Painter Auckland
Address: 14a Batkin Road, New Windsor
Contact Details: +64273744254
Operating Hours: Open 24 Hours
Inseason Handyman is one of the few services we’d call if we needed welding or structural repairs done fast and done right. They’re reliable, give same-day quotes, and actually follow through—something that’s surprisingly rare.
One customer told us the Inseason team showed up on time, welded their broken gate joints on the spot, and even reinforced the frame. Their ability to handle urgent, on-the-spot welding means you don’t have to wait around for a specialist.
Their craftsmanship shines in other areas too. Homeowners have hired them to replace rotting boards, reinforce foundational supports, and even build beautiful pergolas.
We also appreciate their skills with custom carpentry and maintenance. If you have a unique idea, they’re up for the challenge.
One homeowner shared how the team designed and built a custom doghouse that matched the main house’s paint and trim. It looked amazing and showed real attention to detail.
The only disappointing part of their service is the cleanup. They don’t always leave the work site as tidy as you’d hope, which means you might have a bit of cleanup to do afterward.
He demonstrated fairness and integrity
“Walter was consistently on time, prompt in answering calls, and swift to address any concerns we raised about the tasks he completed on our property. He demonstrated fairness and integrity by promptly rectifying any issues we encountered with the final outcome. Overall, we were highly satisfied with his services and wouldn’t hesitate to enlist his help again in the future.”

The customer service was top-notch
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring them, and I can’t speak highly enough of their exceptional service. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, professional, and exceeded all my expectations. The customer service was top-notch. Scheduling the appointment was easy and convenient, with clear communication throughout the process. They were punctual, arriving exactly when they said they would, which I greatly appreciated.”

3. Jim’s Handyman – Mt Albert
Address: 2/5 Cutler Street, New Lynn
Contact Details: +6492001112
Operating Hours: Open 24 Hours
Jim’s Handyman is a smart choice if you want one reliable team to take care of a wide range of repairs and renovations. They’re just as comfortable giving your office a fresh coat of paint as they are transforming your backyard with a custom-built veranda.
What really stands out is their efficiency and attention to detail. For example, one customer shared how Jim’s Handyman designed and built a veranda that matched their house perfectly, even suggesting extra weatherproofing to make it last.
Another homeowner told us about a hidden water leak behind their bathroom tiles. The team replaced the rotted wood, retiled the area, and repainted. This left everything looking brand new.
Their warranty is a real bonus too. If anything needs fixing, you can just call the team and have repairs scheduled right away, at no extra cost.
The biggest complaint we’ve heard is that communication can sometimes be a bit slow. One client mentioned waiting a couple of days for a follow-up call about a plastering job.
But once the team arrives, their professionalism and quality workmanship really shine through.
He was punctual and attentive to details
“Hi folks my experience with Edmundo is worth sharing.
I renovated a restaurant 6 months ago with the help of Edmundo. Without him it would not have been possible.
I had a very tight timeframe and thanks to him we got opened a week before the deadline.
He was punctual and attentive to details, very easy person to deal with.
I would recommend his services for either residential or commercial.
Thank you Edmundo.”

“Ed Campos did excellent work for us. He 1) added an under sink water filter, 2) fixed the flushing mechanism on a toilet, 3) fitted new covers for drains in bathrooms 4) fixed back a lose cover on the drain in a shower, 5) hung a picture on the wall, 6) hung a mirror on the wall, 7) raised a bedhead and fixed it to the wall. He is a very efficient multi-skilled guy and we are getting him back for another three jobs.”

4. Hire A Handyman
Address: 1/11 Thatcher Street, Mission Bay
Contact Details: +6492421957
Operating Hours: Monday to Friday – 8 AM to 5 PM
Hire A Handyman is a fantastic choice if you’re looking for a friendly, no-nonsense team to tackle all those pesky repairs and small renovations around the house.
They handle a wide range of jobs, from fixing cupboard doors to repairing decks. They also always bring a can-do attitude and a personable touch, which makes working with them so much easier.
It also stood out how down-to-earth they are. They don’t use jargon and don’t pressure clients to avail of services they don’t actually need.
While looking at their previous works, we especially love their work on kitchen and bathroom repairs. We saw photos of a tired old bathroom vanity they transformed into a Pinterest-worthy space, and the results were impressive.
Their expertise with doors and windows is another big plus. Customers appreciate how Hire A Handyman fixes every latch, replaces worn-out sills, and makes sure all the doors close smoothly.
The only thing to watch out for: a few customers mentioned that any unexpected work or extra materials are billed separately, so it’s a good idea to clarify costs upfront.
The communication level was amazing
“We recently had work carried out on rental property including repair work after a water leak and some further touch-up work to the unit. The communication level was amazing and the work was carried out to a very high standard. We come from a building background so are hard to please – not this time. Extremely happy and will absolutely use them again. Thank you”

5. Superior NZ Handyman
Address: 11A Graham Bell Avenue, Mount Roskill
Contact Details: +64204343416
Operating Hours: Open 24 Hours
Superior NZ Handyman is a great pick for homeowners and property managers looking for a one-stop shop for renovations, repairs, and regular maintenance.
Their team can handle just about anything, from painting and landscaping to plumbing and flooring. They can even do carpet cleaning, which is surprising for a handyman company.
What really stands out is their ability to tackle multiple jobs in a single visit. One customer told us that by the end of the day, their walls were freshly painted and the plumbing was sorted—all without having to juggle different contractors.
Their renovation work gets high marks too. Families shared how Superior NZ Handyman helped them replace old tiles, install new cabinets, and even pick out paint colors that made their homes feel bigger and brighter.
The only thing we aren’t fond of is that their communication about arrival times can be a bit hit-or-miss, so you might not always know exactly when they’ll show up.
Highly recommend Subbu and his team
“A very professional person, Subbu has done our 15m fence and it’s has turned out to be such a neat job and the best part was it took him 3 days to complete, so we now have him redoing our deck and sunroom. I highly recommend Subbu and his team as they are honest, professional and get the job done in no time. A++”
