Mount 3 TVs and a floating shelf
Just moved in and need a 65" and two 43" TVs wall-mounted, plus one floating shelf leveled. Brackets are on hand. Stud finder and drill a plus.
Fix a leaky faucet + replace a light fixture
Kitchen faucet drips and a dining-room light fixture needs swapping for a new one I bought. Small plumbing + basic electrical. Parts on hand.
Hang 12 picture frames + a large mirror
Gallery wall in the hallway plus a heavy mirror in the entry. I have a layout sketched out. Precision and a level eye matter more than muscle.

Handyman in Austin — common questions
How much do handyman jobs pay in Austin?
Typical listings pay $45–$55 per hour or per fixed job — the highest hourly rates on DayHire, reflecting the tools and know-how involved.
What tools should I bring?
A drill, level, and stud finder cover most mounting gigs. Plumbing or electrical swaps list their needs explicitly — parts are usually already on hand.
Do I need to be licensed?
These are small odd jobs — mounting, assembly-adjacent fixes, fixture swaps — not licensed trade work. Anything requiring a licensed plumber or electrician is out of scope for a one-day gig.
