Handyperson Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, Opening hook I’ve spent years keeping places safe and tidy, from fixing leaking taps to restoring doors that don’t close properly. At my last job I completed a weeklong project that involved repairing five windows and realigning three doors, smoothing drafts and improving security. I’m keen to bring that hands-on approach to [Company Name] and help keep projects running smoothly. Skills alignment I work across carpentry, painting and general repairs, with a focus on practical, repeatable results. I’m comfortable using hand and power tools, replacing fittings, and tidying up after jobs. I’ve done garden maintenance, rubbish removal and simple rail or grab rail installs, and I’m careful with safety and clean-up. I’m particularly interested in how your team handles interior and exterior surface repairs and system upkeep. Evidence story At [Previous Company], a fence and gate needed quick attention before a client’s property went on the market. I assessed the issue, replaced a faulty hinge, aligned the gate, and touched up the paint to match. The client noticed the improvement the same day and the job helped the property present well for photos. I also cut back overgrowth and cleared a driveway so a scheduled inspection could go ahead without delay. Professional close I’m available for a chat about how I can support your site teams and respond to urgent repairs. I can start soon and am happy to discuss salary and availability. Kind regards, [Your Name]
