Handyman Task Menus

Clear, Task-Based Handyman Services — No Hourly Guesswork

Choose from our Small and Large Task Menus during your OAKRAA maintenance plan visits. Designed for safety, comfort, and peace of mind for older adults and their families.

How OAKRAA’s Task-Based Service Works

  • Maintenance visits are task-based, not hourly

  • Each plan includes a set number of Small and/or Large Tasks per visit

  • Tasks are selected before or at the start of each visit

  • Materials are not included and are billed separately

  • Some tasks require advance notice due to tools, ladders, or materials

Task Menu Flexibility
The task menus on this page highlight common examples of the work completed during OAKRAA maintenance plan visits. They are not an exhaustive list.

The OAKRAA technician onsite has final discretion to determine whether a requested task not listed may be completed as a Small or Large Task, based on the estimated time required, task complexity, site conditions, and the technician’s skills and competencies.

Small vs. Large Tasks — What’s the Difference?

  • Small Tasks

    • Typically under 30 minutes

    • Simple, single-step work

    • Completed using standard handyman tools

    • Step-stool height work only

  • Large Tasks

    • Typically 30–60 minutes

    • More involved or multi-step work

    • May require setup, troubleshooting, or coordination

    • Ladder work or specialty tools must be noted in advance

Task classification depends on time, complexity, and site conditions. 

Final task classification is determined by the technician onsite.
