What do carpenters near me do?

Whether you’re planning a major renovation on your home or you simply want to make things look a bit nicer, hiring carpenters near me for small jobs or chippy can help you with many different tasks. Carpenters use other 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. 

Carpenters for 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. 

Carpenters for 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 jobs like wood staining and removal of old finish. 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, or even kitchen installation there’s someone nearby who can help. 

Joinery carpenters

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.

Timber dog ramp (carpenter, handyman)

$1,500

Thomastown VIC 3074, Australia

8th May 2025

Hi there, I’ve just moved into the property and I’m looking to get a dog ramp built on my staircase leading into the backyard. My dog has hip dysplasia, so I need something functional and sturdy to help him get up and down safely. I’d like the ramp to be positioned on the left-hand side of the stairs, where the brick wall is. It doesn’t need to be anything fancy—just strong and practical. Ideally, it should be around 300–400mm wide. The total length is roughly 3 metres, though I’m not sure if it’ll need to bend around the corner—I’ll leave that to your professional advice. I’d also need a small side rail or edge along the ramp to prevent my dog from jumping off straight onto the stairs. One of the steps has some rendering coming loose, which I can remove if needed to make installation easier—just let me know. I'm somewhat flexible as i have 'guesstimated' on price and happy to arrange a site visit if you want to quote more directly. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks!

5 - Star operator, fantastic communication, craftsmanship, expertise and advice. I will work with him again.

Cabinet maker to make oven sit/fit properly

$5

Mill Park VIC, Australia

29th Mar 2025

I need a cabinet maker to make a new cavity so my new oven sits properly. I don’t want a frame around it. Do not have materials, but colour doesn’t matter as we’re painting the kitchen. I was thinking maybe a melamine piece could cover the old space and be cut out to match the new oven. But whatever works…I’m flexible , whatever is easiest and cost effective, as long as oven sits properly. John
