What do carpenters do?

Whether you’re planning a major renovation on your home or you simply want to make things look a bit nicer, hiring a carpenter or chippy can help you with many different tasks. Carpenters use different types of power tools and hand tools to carry on building and construction work. 

Carpentry work is generally broken down into two types: rough and finish. Rough carpentry refers to work that doesn’t have an intricate look, as it’s covered up – often by bricks, tiles, or plaster work. Finish carpentry covers the work that will be on display, so needs to have a nicer finish. Furniture, decking, and window frames all fall into this second category. 

Decking

Many Australian homes are blessed with a large backyard and plenty of sunny hours to enjoy that space. A decking specialist can add an outdoor deck or upgrade an existing one that opens up your outdoor space. This is great if you want to entertain guests or eat outside as a family during the sunny months. 

Cabinet making

Cabinet makers are one example of finish carpentry, because of the high level of detail that goes into their end products. Unlike structural work, it’s important that a cabinet looks nice, so this type of carpenter is a lot more focused on fine details. Cabinet makers often specialise in other forms of furniture making too. 

Refinishing carpentry

While structural carpentry is concerned with jobs on the large end of the scale, trim or refinishing carpentry looks at the small end. A trim carpenter is the way to go if you want someone to fix up your skirting boards, cornicing, or a similar aspect of your home.

Custom made furniture

A house isn’t a home without a few personal touches, and if you’d rather avoid the cookie-cutter Ikea approach to decorating your property, hiring a carpenter to create custom-made furniture can make you stand out. Whether you want chairs, tables, or a shoe rack, there’s someone nearby who can help. 

Joinery

Joinery services encompass the craftsmanship of creating and joining wood in workshops, distinct from on-site carpentry. These services range from bespoke projects to crafting timber buildings, emphasizing precision and passion. Joiners play a crucial role in interior woodwork, window and door production, and specialized construction, offering tailored and quality timber solutions.

Install Bunning Prempanel Timber Slat Panels and IKEA Shelves

$500

Hawthorn VIC, Australia

10th Jul 2024

Install internal Bunnings Prempanel Timber Slat Panels and wall hang 14 x 60cm cabinets in apartment. Timber panels would need to be picked up from Bunnings by you so probably need a van, tray or racks (purchased by me) and they are 2.7m long x 0.6m wide each. I will build IKEA cabinets, just need someone to install them properly. Not sure if best to install timber panels around cabinets or install cabinets over top of panels (to be discussed). Attention to detail is really important for this project. The apartment has limited space so maybe some initial cutting needs to be done off-site. Wall is about 2.4m high by 4.8m wide. The building has an elevator and panels will fit if cut down to 2.4m.

Could not be happier with Nathaniel and his incredible attention to detail. Looking forward to working together again soon.
