What is different about handyman work in Bendigo
Bendigo’s handymen are kept busy by the city’s old houses. Goldfields-era weatherboards and brick homes generate constant small jobs: sticking doors that swell in wet winters, sash windows, loose verandah boards, picket fences, plaster patching and flyscreens. The newer estates add flat-pack assembly, shelving and TV mounting. Rates are below Melbourne and the market has plenty of sole traders and small businesses.
