Business Owner - Handyman Franchise Operator

About Hire A Hubby

Hire A Hubby stands as Australia’s premier national handyman franchise, delivering extensive property maintenance services to both residential and commercial clients since 1996. The operation is driven through a network of independently owned franchises, commonly called “Hubbies,” spread throughout the country. Franchise owners undergo police checks, obtain Work Health Safety certifications, hold public liability insurance, and carry photo identification to enhance customer trust and safety. Although known primarily for minor maintenance tasks, franchisees also undertake larger projects like kitchen and bathroom renovations, pergola constructions, and decking installations, complying with licensing rules. Customer feedback is encouraged to uphold superior service standards and continuous development.
