“Freeing Up Your Time, One Task at a Time”

Handyman Services

Here are a few examples of some of the most requested services I provide, from replacing old can lights with modern LED models to assembling gym equipment—or just about anything, really. But don’t stop there—below this is a comprehensive list of tasks I can tackle for you. If you don’t see what you need, just ask! I’m here to help with a wide range of projects, big or small.

Can Lights-Ceiling Fans-Light Fixtures

Are you looking to renew your old lighting and ceiling fixtures? I specialize in replacing outdated can lights with efficient new LED models, swapping out ceiling fans, and upgrading light fixtures to give your home a fresh, modern look. Not only will you enjoy a more stylish space, but you’ll also benefit from energy savings with the latest LED technology. Whether it’s for energy efficiency or simply to modernize your home, I’ll ensure the job is done professionally, with attention to detail and a clean finish.

Security Alarm & Camera Installation

I provide professional installation of security cameras and alarm systems to help safeguard your property. These systems not only offer peace of mind by monitoring for intrusions, but they also ensure the fire department is notified in case of a fire, even when you’re not home. While I don’t sell equipment, I offer optional consultations to recommend trusted brands and can help ensure your home is fully protected. After all, your home security is only as good as the system and the areas it covers. From installation to setup, I’ll handle everything so you can rest easy knowing your home is secure.

Pressure Washing

If it’s time to rejuvenate your home’s exterior, I offer professional pressure washing services for driveways, sidewalks, home exteriors, and more. Pressure washing not only enhances the curb appeal of your property but also extends the life of your surfaces by removing harmful dirt, mold, and other build-ups. Whether it’s making your driveway look new again or refreshing your home’s facade, I ensure a thorough, professional job that leaves your spaces looking great.

Assembly: Furniture-Equipment-& More

Got a pile of parts and instructions that make you want to pull your hair out? I’ve been there, but the truth is, I actually enjoy assembling things that most people find frustrating. Whether it’s furniture, storage cabinets, garage organizers, gym equipment, or even smokers and barbecues, I’ll take care of it as long as you’ve got all the parts and instructions. Save yourself the headache and let me handle the assembly so you can enjoy the finished product—without the stress. Plus, I’ll make sure everything is put together correctly and securely, so you won’t have to worry about wobbly furniture or missing screws.

Smart Camera Doorbell Installation

I professionally install smart camera doorbells, like Ring and other popular models, to enhance the security and convenience of your home. Whether you’re upgrading for better protection, peace of mind, or to modernize your entryway, I’ll make sure the installation is done correctly. From proper setup to walking you through the app, I handle the entire process so you can enjoy the benefits of your new doorbell without any hassle.

Smart Thermostat Installation

Upgrading to a smart thermostat offers both convenience and savings by helping you manage energy use more efficiently. With the ability to control your home’s temperature from anywhere, you can adjust settings even on a trip. Imagine setting the perfect temperature before your road trip or flight home, so your house is comfortable when you arrive—all while saving on electricity costs while you were away. I’ll install your smart thermostat and ensure it’s ready for you to start enjoying the convenience and savings right away.

A Bit About Us

Hey there! I’m Chris Hughes, founder of The Task Tackler. Growing up, my dad was the ultimate DIY guy, teaching me the value of working with your hands and solving problems. We took on every project ourselves—whether remodeling a room or handling repairs. When I bought my first home at 23, I applied everything I’d learned and remodeled it entirely by myself.

Fast forward more than two decades, and I’m still passionate about putting things together and renewing spaces. I focus on jobs I enjoy most—like swapping light fixtures, installing ceiling fans, setting up alarms and security cameras, or assembling furniture that most people dread. You can check out the full list above, and if you don’t see your task, just ask!

Integrity is key to my business. I charge by the job, not the hour, because I believe in transparency. You’ll know the cost upfront—no surprises or dragged-out projects just to charge more. Plus, when you hire The Task Tackler, I’m the one who shows up—no third-party workers. You get personal service, directly from me. I currently focus on serving the Palm Bay and Melbourne Florida areas, but depending on the work you need done, I may extend throughout Brevard County and portions of Indian River County.

I take pride in delivering high-quality work and maintaining a professional appearance. The Task Tackler is fully registered and insured in Florida, though thanks to my attention to detail, I’ve never needed to use that insurance! I guarantee when you work with me, you’ll notice a difference in how your tasks are tackled.

Frequently Asked
Questions

I charge by the job, not by the hour, to ensure fairness and transparency. This way, you’ll know the total price upfront without the bait-and-switch tactics others might use by quoting an estimated time and then extending it once the job begins.

Do you offer free estimates?

Yes! I provide free estimates through the contact form or over the phone. Since most of the services I offer are consistent, I don’t make in-person visits for estimates. If you choose to hire me, I will verify everything once I arrive and confirm the job is as expected before starting work, ensuring there are no surprises after we begin.

What types of jobs do you handle?

I take on a wide range of light handyman tasks, from installing ceiling fans, light fixtures, and smart thermostats to assembling furniture, pressure washing, and more. If you’re not sure if I handle your specific project, just ask!

What payment methods do you accept?

I accept cash, debit cards, and major credit cards, including Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express. And no, I don’t charge a fee for using credit cards like so many others do.

How quickly can you schedule my project?

It depends on my current schedule, but I always try to fit in projects as soon as possible. Reach out to discuss your timeline, and I’ll do my best to accommodate.

What materials or tools do I need to provide?

For most jobs, I bring all the necessary tools. However, for assembly jobs or installations, you’ll need to provide the parts and instructions. If you’re unsure about what’s required, I can guide you beforehand.

Can you install home security systems or smart home devices?

Yes, I can install smart home devices like thermostats, security cameras, and doorbells. I can also offer recommendations for the best products, though I don’t sell the equipment myself.

Can I manage or update my smart home devices on my own after you install them?

Yes! Once I’ve installed your smart home devices, I’ll make sure you understand how to use them and make adjustments. You’ll have full control, and I’m available if you have any questions afterward.
