Finding tradespeople made easy - with Helferei

Do you urgently need help with small repairs around the house, are you looking for someone to assemble a shelf, or are you fed up with that broken kitchen rail? Then you've probably already looked for a tradesperson—and realized how difficult it can be to find one at short notice and without complications. Especially in big cities like Berlin, Cologne, Leipzig, or Munich, they are either fully booked, the repair job is too expensive, or they don't even respond. At Helferei , we change that: we make it easy for you to find suitable tradespeople reliably and flexibly – without any stress, long waiting times, or bureaucratic hassle. And best of all, we provide support for jobs that are too small and therefore uninteresting for many tradespeople. But we also keep an eye on the issue of deducting tradespeople costs for you. 😉

In cities like Cologne, Leipzig, Berlin, or Munich, where everyday life is already hectic, you don't need any additional challenges when you just want to have a shelf assembled or a door hinge repaired. That's where we come in: With Helferei , you Helferei easily and flexibly find local tradespeople who can really help you—whenever you need them.

How can I easily find tradespeople in Berlin, Cologne, Munich, or Leipzig?

The Helferei brings people together: You need help - we have it. Whether it's hanging pictures, painting walls, connecting the oven or washing machine - if you want to find a handyman in your area, come and see us. Our helpers are local, friendly, reliable - and above all: ready to get straight to work.

Looking for a handyman? It's that easy:

  1. Submit your booking request online in just three minutes, including all the details of the trade order, your preferred date and photos or assembly instructions if you wish
  2. Suitable craftsmen in the vicinity apply
  3. You complete the booking
  4. You can already get in touch and prepare the job together
  5. Payment is only made after the actual duration of the order, and you will always find the corresponding invoice in your customer profile.

Receive support - direct, fair and without hidden costs

Our craftsmen are not anonymous service providers, but real people from your area with the technical expertise that matches your individual job. You are not just booking a "service", but someone who cares.

What you should consider before placing an order

A successful tradesman job starts with good preparation - and saves you time, nerves and often money too. So that finding a tradesman doesn't become a test of patience, think about these questions in advance:

  • What exactly should be done? - The more concretely you describe the problem or wish, the better your helper can prepare. Photos or assembly instructions always help!
  • What materials or tools are available? - Do you need to bring anything with you? Are the necessary tools such as drills, screws, dowels or cordless screwdrivers available on site?
  • Are there any access barriers? - For example: fifth floor without elevator, narrow stairs or parking problems?

If you are unsure, we will be happy to advise you - because we know from experience: A clear agreement in advance makes the assignment efficient and stress-free. Whether it's a one-off or regular assignment, if you want to find handymen, we'll provide you with suitable helpers.

Deducting craftsmen's costs – your discount from the tax office

A real bonus: You can deduct many handyman costs! In concrete terms, this means that you can deduct up to 20% of the labor costs and a maximum of €1,200 per year - directly in your income tax return. This applies to household-related services such as:

  • Repairs in the apartment
  • minor renovation work
  • Furniture assembly or technical assistance

The only important thing is that you need an official invoice and should pay by bank transfer for proof of payment - we will of course provide you with both automatically on request. So if you find handymen with Helferei , you benefit twice - in everyday life and also financially at the end of the year.
