What should it actually cost?
An honest guide to what home services typically run in Toronto and the GTA this year — so you walk in with a number, not a guess. These are typical market ranges, not Taskly’s prices. Want the number for your exact task? Our free Price Checker gives you an instant estimate — then you post free and reviewed Taskers send the real offers.
Cleaning
Size of the home, how deep, and how often are the biggest levers. Recurring cleans cost less per visit.
Handywork & assembly
Priced by the task or by the hour. Complexity, parts, and how many items decide it.
Outdoor & seasonal
Lot size and conditions drive the price. Seasonal recurring plans are cheaper per visit.
Moving, learning & pets
People, hours, and specialty (skill level, animal size) set the range.
Occasions & skills
From mehndi to mentorship — the same fixed-price offers, the same held-until-done payment.
Ranges reflect what we typically see across the GTA and are updated as we gather real market data. Your task’s actual price comes from the fixed offers you receive.
How to spot a fair price
- A clear, fixed price agreed before work starts
- You can see who is coming — name, reviews, ratings
- You pay only once the job is done to your satisfaction
- No “extra fees” appear after you’ve said yes
- Cash upfront before any work is done
- No reviews and no way to verify who they are
- A quote that balloons once they arrive
- Pressure to take the deal off any platform
On Taskly, you agree a fixed price up front — no per-hour meter, no surge, no subscription — and your money stays with Taskly until you confirm the job’s done right.

Questions people ask
How much does a house cleaner cost in Toronto?
A standard clean for a 1–2 bedroom condo typically runs $130–$180, and a deep clean of a 3-bedroom house runs about $260–$340. The size of the home, how deep the clean is, and how often you book are the biggest factors.
What should IKEA / furniture assembly cost?
Most furniture assembly is priced per item — roughly $60–$80 depending on size and complexity. A wardrobe costs more than a bookshelf; several items together often bring the per-item price down.
Why do prices vary so much for the same job?
Home, size, condition, timing, and who you ask all move the number — which is exactly why the same job can be quoted $80 by one person and $300 by another. The fix is getting real fixed-price offers up front instead of guessing.
Is it cheaper to just pay cash to someone?
It can look cheaper, but a cash deal has no protection — if the person does not show, does half the job, or damages something, you have no recourse. On Taskly your money is held by Taskly until you confirm the job is done, so “cheaper” never means “riskier.”
What does Taskly charge to post a task?
Nothing. Posting a task and comparing offers is free. You only pay the price you agreed when you accept an offer — and there are no surprise service fees stacked on at checkout.
