Handyman Services in Davao City — Mounting, Assembly & Small Repairs
We send a vetted handyman for the small jobs in Davao City that no contractor wants and no tubero or electrician is quite right for: mounting TVs and shelves on concrete walls, assembling furniture, hanging curtain rods and blinds, replacing door locks and hinges, fixing cabinet doors, sealing windows, patching small holes and the “while you are here” list. Priced per task from ₱500 or ₱350–₱600 per hour for a list of jobs, with materials at cost. Half-day and full-day visits are the most popular for new condos and move-ins.
Every new condo and every move-in produces the same list: the TV bracket still in its box, the IKEA-style wardrobe in forty pieces, curtain rods, a mirror, three shelves, a loose door handle and a cabinet that will not close. None of it is hard; all of it needs someone with a hammer drill who knows the difference between a hollow block wall and a concrete column. Davao has plenty of skilled people for this and no way to book them — so it sits for months.
Jobs we do most
Mounting. TVs on brackets (we bring the right anchors for concrete, hollow block and drywall), shelves, mirrors, wall cabinets, hooks, towel rails, grab bars.
Assembly. Flat-pack wardrobes, beds, desks, shelving, dining sets, office chairs, cribs — assembled square and anchored to the wall where the manual says so.
Curtains and blinds. Rods, tracks and roller or Venetian blinds measured, drilled and hung level; existing blinds re-corded or re-mounted.
Doors, locks and hinges. Door locks and knobs replaced, hinges re-hung, doors planed to stop sticking, cabinet hinges and drawer slides replaced, sliding-door rollers.
Small repairs. Silicone around sinks and tubs, window and screen repairs, wall patches, loose tiles re-set, weather-stripping, grout touch-ups.
Odd jobs. Moving furniture between rooms, hanging pictures and rails, installing bidet sprays and shower heads, replacing a faucet — anything that fits in a half day.

Booking a handyman
- 1
Send the list
A few lines or a photo of what needs doing, the area of Davao, and whether you have the brackets, rods or furniture already. We tell you whether it is a per-task job or a half-day.
- 2
Fixed price or fixed hours
Per-task prices for one or two jobs; an hourly or half-day rate for a list. Materials estimated up front and billed at cost.
- 3
Done, level, cleaned up
Drilling dust vacuumed, packaging bagged, the wall anchors that were used noted on the receipt so you know what your TV is hanging on.
Where a handyman stops and a specialist starts
A good handyman knows the edge of his trade, and ours are asked to respect it. Replacing a faucet, yes; opening a wall to fix a leaking pipe, no — that is a plumber. Swapping a light bulb or a switch plate, yes; adding an outlet or touching the panel, no — that is an electrician. Anything on the roof beyond clearing a gutter goes to the roofing technician. Because all of these are coordinated by the same team, a handyman visit that uncovers a real fault becomes a specialist visit without you starting over.
The same applies to walls. Davao condos are concrete and hollow block; the difference between a shelf that holds and one that falls with your books is the right anchor in the right substrate, drilled with the right tool. That is most of what you are paying for on a mounting job, and it is why the “kuya” with a regular drill leaves a wall full of holes.

Frequently asked questions
Magkano ang handyman sa Davao?
In 2026: ₱350–₱600 per hour with a two-hour minimum, ₱1,500–₱2,400 for a half day, or per task — for example ₱800–₱1,800 to mount a TV and ₱500–₱2,500 to assemble a piece of furniture. Materials are at cost.
Can you mount a TV on a condo wall?
Yes, and we check what the wall is made of first. Concrete columns and hollow block need different anchors; some condo walls are drywall partitions that need a bracket spanning the studs. We also route the cables neatly if you want them hidden.
Do you assemble furniture bought online or from a mall?
Any brand, any flat-pack. Send a photo of the box or the model name so we bring the right tools and allow the right time; large wardrobes and bunk beds are anchored to the wall for safety.
I have a long move-in list. How do I book that?
As a half-day or full-day visit. Send the list, we estimate the hours and materials, and the handyman works through it in one go — with an electrician or plumber added to the same day if the list includes their work.
