Wayne Matson - Your Handyman
I’ve been a creator and inventor since I was a child, building go-carts and huts in my backyard or tinkering in my Dad’s garage. My passion for building and fixing things has shaped my entire career, from my first home renovation at age 19 to starting up Hire a Handyman as a one-man band.
I’ve always had an entrepreneurial spirit. I have a background in business ownership, including running a successful electronics distribution company and mentoring small businesses. From being the solo owner/operator of Hire a Handyman, I founded the Hire a Handyman Franchise so I could build a network of skilled professionals who share my commitment to quality workmanship and customer satisfaction.
I mainly work in Central and East Auckland, bringing over three decades of hands-on experience in home improvements and renovations. My handyman experience includes everything from finishing the building a five-bedroom house, to renovating and reselling numerous properties across Auckland. This extensive experience means I can tackle any home improvement challenge that comes my way, from simple repairs to complex renovations.
As a fixer, I like to solve problems and make a small difference in people’s lives. I believe in finding the right solution for each unique situation, ensuring every job is done properly the first time. Whether it’s fixing a persistent issue that’s been bothering you or helping transform your living space, I take pride in delivering results that make homeowners happy. Running my own businesses in the past means I understand the importance of clear communication and professional service. I’ll always keep you informed about your project’s progress and ensure the work meets your expectations.
When I take on a job, I’m not just thinking about the immediate task – I’m considering how to add value to your home and improve your daily life. There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing a client’s face light up when they see their renovated space or fixed problem, knowing I’ve helped give them renewed pride in their home.
While I’m experienced in all aspects of home maintenance and improvement, I particularly enjoy projects that require creative problem-solving and attention to detail. Whether you need help with general maintenance, home improvements, or a specific renovation project, I bring the same level of dedication and craftsmanship to every job.

Testimonials
Work Completed:
Fence garden and install gate

Thank You to Eddie for His Excellent Service. We needed to fence our garden and install a gate, and Eddie was quick to respond to our inquiry. He asked all the right questions to ensure the job was done perfectly and paid great attention to detail. He also took the initiative to communicate with our landlord, putting him at ease throughout the process. Our landlord was extremely satisfied as well.
Not only was Eddie’s service top-notch, but his pricing was very competitive. Other companies had quoted us much higher prices. I highly recommend Eddie to anyone in need of his services.

I absolutely appreciate you sending out Tama to fix our Ranchslider. He definitely knows what he’s doing and takes pride in all that he does. Easy to talk to as well. I gifted him with a banana cake that I had baked earlier this afternoon. No need to send me a survey on the job done today as it speaks for itself in my text
