Frequently asked questions

What counts as an odd job?

Odd jobs are small, practical home tasks such as simple assembly, moving light items, hanging lightweight decor, donation prep, and other one-off to-do list items.

Can helpers bring tools?

Members should describe the task before booking. Helpers may be able to use basic tools when appropriate, but visits are not a substitute for licensed trade work.

What odd jobs are not allowed?

The Linked Lives platform does not support unsafe ladder work, contractor-only work, electrical or plumbing jobs, hazardous tasks, or jobs that require more people or equipment than the visit supports.

How should I prepare for an odd job visit?

Make a short task list, gather parts or materials, and note anything heavy, high, fragile, or time-sensitive when you check availability.
