Kevin · Amsterdam, further out by arrangement
Kevin is from Texas and does odd jobs in Amsterdam, mostly for expats. Putting furniture together, hanging lamps, replacing an intercom, old sealant out and new sealant in. He talks the job through with you first. English and Dutch.

Conor · City centre, at your home
Conor likes working in old Amsterdam houses best. Planing a sticking door, repairing a sash window, hanging a lamp, a made-to-measure desk in an awkward corner. English is his first language.

Tap a name for the card.
And 68 times someone else.
This order is not for sale. Sorry.
Most requests are exactly what the word handyman promises: general repairs and odd jobs. Next to those came plaster repair and a wall that needed fixing, a painter, putting a new wardrobe together, mounting light fixtures and a wall clock, and restoring an oak dining table.
The strangest request was a freestanding walk-through closet for an event, finished on both sides and inspired by the closet in the Barbie film. That one got a name too. For a leaking tap or a fuse that keeps tripping, see the [plumber](/en/amsterdam/plumber/) and the [electrician](/en/amsterdam/electrician/).
Zuid was named 9 times, IJburg 6 times and Oost 4 times. These are neighbourhoods from the messages themselves, not addresses.
Say what is broken or what needs to go up, and how big it is. One shelf is not a whole wall. Say which floor you live on, whether you have the materials and when it needs to be done.
A message that works: Hi ツamsterdam, I'm looking for a handyman to put a wardrobe together, second floor in Zuid, this week. A photo helps. Small is fine, as the requests above show.
You message. ツamsterdam names one person. You say yes. Or no. How the market group works.
Asking costs nothing.
People mentioned amounts for their job themselves: €60 and €30 each 4 times, €20 and €10 each 2 times. Mostly it says the jobs are small. You agree the price with the handyman and pay directly.
Yes. Say what is broken. You get someone who can fix it.
Fine. Say that. ツamsterdam names a painter.
Yes. Small is fine. Say what it is.
Not from a row. ツamsterdam names one person. Say no and another follows.
You usually have a name within the hour. When the job happens is between the two of you.
Neighbourhood group. Family group. Now the market group.
