Pulega Fa’asoa - Your Handyman
My journey in the trades started with my formal training as a furniture maker and carpenter, and I later trained as a mechanic. Over the years, I’ve gained skills in everything from welding to full home renovations, allowing me to tackle almost any job that comes my way.
I’m from Samoa and came to live in New Zealand in 1994. I’m based in Hillsborough, so I can easily travel to any job in West Auckland.
When I worked on large commercial projects in my previous role, I rarely met the property owners. I now find real satisfaction in residential work. I much prefer sitting down with you, understanding your vision for your home, and delivering exactly what you want. Whether it’s a major kitchen renovation, a bathroom replacement, or creating custom cabinetry, I take pride in getting every detail right.
No job is too big or too small for me. I can handle major projects like removing walls to create open-plan living spaces, installing custom-designed sliding gates with electric motors, or completing full interior and exterior painting jobs.
But I’m just as happy to help with those smaller tasks that can make a big difference to your daily life – hanging pictures, changing door handles, or replacing window latches. I also offer plastering and tiling. While I know my way around electrical and plumbing work, I’ll always bring in certified professionals for those specialised tasks – your safety and compliance with regulations come first.
My approach is simple: I listen to what you need, discuss everything with you throughout the project, and deliver quality workmanship that stands the test of time.
Being part of Hire a Handyman means I’m backed by a team that shares my commitment to quality work and customer satisfaction. This support lets me concentrate on what I do best – helping you improve your home with skilled, reliable service that puts your needs first.
When I’m not helping clients with their home improvements, I enjoy quiet time at home with my family, maybe having a relaxing beer after a hard day’s work.
Whether you’re planning a major renovation, need a custom-made sliding gate, or just have a few maintenance tasks that need attention, I’m here to help make your home work better for you.

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.

Ranchslider Repair

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
