If you can hang a shelf so it stays up and replace a tap without a flood, you already have a profession that pays in Riga. The handyman is one of the most requested services: the jobs are small, but there are many of them, and big companies will not take them.
What people usually order
- Hanging a shelf, mirror, curtain rod or TV on the wall.
- Replacing a tap, a siphon, or toilet tank fittings.
- Fixing or moving a socket, replacing a switch or light fixture.
- Adjusting and oiling doors, changing a lock.
- Small assembly jobs after a move.
What it pays
A call-out in Riga usually pays 15–30 €; bigger jobs are agreed individually. With a planned route you can fit 3–4 visits a day across different districts.
Starter toolkit
A drill-driver with bits, a spirit level, a screwdriver set, pliers, an adjustable wrench for plumbing, and masking tape. Everything else can wait — do not buy expensive tools until orders demand them.
How to stand out
- Add before-and-after photos of your work to your profile.
- Respond to tasks quickly — the first to reply often wins.
- Be specific in your offer: what you will do, how long it takes, what it costs.
- Ask clients to leave a review — your rating brings new orders.
