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.

INSTALL DISHWASHER CARPENTER/HANDYMAN ETC

$150

Wantirna South VIC, Australia

27th Apr 2025

I moved into an apartment and my dishwasher doesn’t fit. I am hopping to find someone to move and cut the kitchen cabinets and install it for me. Today would be incredible as I can’t stand to do dishes anymore 🤣 Doors and shelves need to be removed, the side panel needs to be removed and the inside panel too. The aluminum at the bottom will need to be cut too, and it needs to look good, finished and it must be safe with no sharpe edges. I’ve take photos and videos so i can get a price and decide if I’ll buy a smaller dishwasher or just keep mine and get it cut. Also if you are talented and affordable I actually want a table, a desk, two beds, inserts for two wardrobes done too, and I would design it as I can’t find what I need and want in the market. Hope to see you today! Thank you. Dimensions of the cupboard the way it is: 55 deep 56.5 wide 73 tall Dimensions of the Dishwasher is 60x60x84/85 After removing and cutting boards the opening space will be 65 wide 85 tall
