Quick answer

Orange Projects provides handyman and property maintenance services across the Gold Coast and Logan. Unlike an unlicensed handyman, we hold QBCC Licence No. 15620733, so we can legally carry out building work over $3,300 as well as small jobs. Typical rates are $95-$130 per hour, with most small jobs quoted as a fixed price.

Overview

Most handyman jobs are small - a sticking door, rotten deck boards, damaged skirting, a shelf that needs to be fixed to something structural. The problem is finding someone who turns up, does it properly, and is legally allowed to do the work once it goes beyond cosmetic. Orange Projects offers handyman and maintenance work as part of a QBCC-licensed building company. That means the same crew who renovate whole homes can also fix your door, repair storm-damaged trim or replace a run of decking - and if the job turns out to be bigger than expected, we are licensed to keep going instead of walking away.

What's included

  • Door adjustment, rehanging, replacement and hardware
  • Skirting, architrave and internal trim repairs
  • Rotten or damaged timber repairs - decks, stairs, external trim
  • Shelving, storage, built-ins and wall fixings
  • Gyprock patching and small wall repairs
  • Deck board replacement, re-fixing and maintenance
  • Fence, gate and pergola repairs
  • Minor structural carpentry and subfloor repairs
  • Storm and water damage make-safe
  • Scheduled maintenance for landlords and property managers

Licensed handyman vs unlicensed handyman

In Queensland, any building work valued over $3,300 - including most structural carpentry, decking, subfloor and stump work - legally requires a QBCC-licensed contractor. Plenty of handymen operate below that threshold, which is fine for a picture hook and a problem for anything structural. Because we hold a full builder's licence, there is no scope ceiling on what we can take on, and the work is covered by insurance and statutory warranty where it applies.

What we typically get called for

The common list on the Gold Coast is doors that have swollen and stick in humidity, deck boards and handrails that have gone soft, external trim and fascia showing rot from salt air, skirting damaged by water, gyprock holes from moved furniture, and gates that have dropped. In older character homes, add stump and subfloor repairs, VJ wall repairs and window sash issues.

How we charge

Small jobs are usually charged at $95-$130 per hour plus materials, with a typical two-hour minimum call-out to cover travel and setup. Anything with a defined scope - a run of decking, a set of doors, a full skirting replacement - is quoted as a fixed price after we have seen it, so you know the number before we start.

Maintenance for landlords and property managers

We work with Gold Coast and Logan property managers on tenancy repairs, entry and exit condition works, and scheduled maintenance across portfolios. Jobs are documented with before and after photos, invoiced clearly, and coordinated directly with tenants where you would rather not be in the middle of it.
