What is different about handyman work in Townsville
Townsville’s handymen are kept busy by the climate and the rental market. Screens, louvres, fans and doors take a beating from dust, salt and the wet season; investor-owned rentals and defence housing need constant small repairs between tenancies; and cyclone preparation and clean-up generate seasonal work. Older Queenslanders in North Ward and Hermit Park add timber repairs, while the brick estates at Kirwan and Burdell bring flat-pack, shelving and mounting jobs.
