I’m so happy with the work that Kaliopi has done with my stained glass window from my front door. He attended my property promptly assessed the situation and removed the window to me taken off for repair & left me with a high-quality fitting in the door that was secure and aesthetically pleasing while the stained glass was repaired. The entire turnaround time was only a few days and this was just before the hectic Christmas festive season. He is very skilled and knows everything you need to know and has a lot of experience with the repair and maintenance of stained glass windows. The price was very fair for the craftsmanship done I’ve had a few quotes from companies around the area that we are all booked out for months in advance that were double the price. I cannot fault his work or professionalism I would highly recommend him to anybody wanting stained glass window repairs.

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.

Carpet stain removal - Prahran, today

$110

Prahran VIC, Australia

16th Jul 2024

Hello! In attempting to remove a small stain (suspected pet vomit), we have made things worse! This might be unrecoverable - but I’d feel better knowing I got in a pro to give it a shot. Basically the original stain lifted ok but we have water and soap residue. Hoping to have someone make best efforts with a commercial machine today. Carpet is still damp and has some soap residue from napisan. Stain removal only, you don’t need to do the whole room. No unrealistic expectations on my part. Please confirm your availability and equipment when bidding.

Siti is super professional, friendly and punctual! Highly recommended.

Ikea wardrobe assembly

$250

Melbourne, VIC

2nd Jul 2024

We have a custom IKEA wardrobe that will be delivered and we need someone to build it. Size is 200wx66dx238h We would like it installed against a wall that has windows. So would block the windows, which is fine. This is in a granny flat and the room is weird shape. The wardrobe will need to be attached to window frame or skirting. Will need it done before 14th July.

Constructed a full size 236cmx200cmx63cm ikea wardrobe. Eye for detail was spot on. He even included some of his own screws and parts as he feels they are stronger than original ikea product. He worked slower to confirm proper construction and didn't want to miss or stuff up a step. I'd rather him take his time than to rush and spend more time fixing any mistakes. He is a cabinet maker by trade! Would definitely rehire and recommend.

Assemble/build my closet

$200

Prahran VIC, Australia

2nd Jul 2024

I bought 2 temple and Webster closets which I cannot figure out how to assemble. Unfortunately the company did not send all the needed fittings so a Bunnings trip might be needed to build the closet for the missing parts. Another issue is that I have two naughty Chihuahuas who have gotten into the nails etc. and hidden them. While they are also two different closets the pieces have now been mixed up, I do have the instructions for both closets and I'm ok if you need to do a DYI to make the closet buildable.
