Sardar is thoroughly professional, and he can fix almost anything! He has an extremely good sense of where, for example, paintings should be hung, and is meticulous in the positioning. If you want someone you know you can trust to do the job properly, I can't recommend Sardar highly enough.

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.

Carpenter to Build Simple Portable Audio Guestbook Ticket Kiosk

$600

SA, Australia

22nd Jul 2026

The advertised budget is for labour only, material costs to be discussed. I’m looking for a capable handyman/carpenter to build a simple portable ticket-booth-style audio guestbook kiosk for my Adelaide audio guestbook business, Memory Line. I have attached an inspiration image showing the overall style I’m hoping to achieve. This does not need to be an exact replica. I would like a simplified, cost-effective version that still looks polished and professional in wedding photographs. To keep costs down, I am suggesting: -simple pine framing -7–12 mm plywood skins -no floor -no working door -basic removable top sign -simple timber shelf -inexpensive decorative moulding The booth will hold a vintage audio guestbook telephone. Guests will step inside OR stand at the opening, pick up the phone and leave a recorded message. Approximate size I am open to recommendations, but approximately: 190–205 cm high 80–95 cm wide 65–80 cm deep large front service-window opening open side entrance The decorative awning shown in the inspiration image would be LOVELY if it can be created affordably. TRANSPORTABILITY ESSENTIAL This booth will be transported to weddings and events, so it must not be permanently constructed as one large, heavy box. It should: separate into manageable panels or sections fit through standard household and venue doorways fit into a ute, van or suitable trailer be assembled and dismantled repeatedly Please include in your offer -examples of similar carpentry or handyman work -estimated materials cost -time frame (before 28th july ideal) -whether delivery to Adelaide’s north-eastern suburbs is included The most important things are that it is safe, attractive, lightweight and transportable. It does not need to be expensive cabinetry or exhibition-grade construction.

Cant wait to see the finished result!!!!

Carpenter for simple booth for wedding business (quote is labour only)

$870

Adelaide CBD SA 5000, Australia

22nd Jul 2026

Looking for a handyman or carpenter to build a simple portable wooden private booth for my wedding business that I can then decorate/modify if I wish (painting it etc). I have already purchased the complete DIY plans, technical drawings, assembly diagrams and parts list. The design work is therefore ready to go—you will not be starting from scratch. Materials will be paid separately following approval of a written materials estimate and receipts. I am on a tight start-up budget and would appreciate cost-effective recommendations. I am happy to complete some cosmetic finishing or painting myself if this reduces the overall cost. Please clearly separate your estimated labour, CNC cutting and materials costs in your offer. The dream idea is to convert it into a semi-private telephone recording booth: telephone mounted on a narrow shelf inside framed prompts and instructions on the back wall soft fabric, acoustic panels or curtains internally warm overhead lighting (I could do this myself later?) florals and personalised signage around the opening “Step Inside and Leave a Message” across the top TRANSPORTABILITY ESSENTIAL  separate into into flat panels?  has removable stabilising feet?  fits through standard venue doors  has no raised floor or trip edge  uses lightweight plywood rather than heavy MDF -fit in a van, ute or suitable enclosed trailer -include strong, sensibly positioned carrying handles if possible Possible interior additions The main task is constructing the booth itself, but I would also like provision for: a shelf hidden cable management lightweight acoustic treatment attachment points for removable signage or florals These can either be included in the original offer or quoted separately. When submitting an offer, please include: a breakdown of labour and material costs I have attached photos for inspiration PLEASE DONT MAKE IT PINK

Help cut, refinish and move a desk

$300

Prospect, South Australia

17th Jul 2026

I’m looking for some help woodworking and carrying a heavy plywood desk up the stairs. I'm wanting to have the desk width sawed 85cm narrower (cutting off the back of the legs & tabletop as indicated in images, to remove the uneven edges), potentially refinishing, and then lifting it up a narrow staircase. Technically the desk does fit. With the 85mm removed the final dimensions would be: 750mm H x 2000mm L x 665mm D, and the hallway is 810mm wide from each skirting board (though the handrail may get in the way). I believe if lifted vertically it could make it around those corners, though I’m not 100% sure as my friend and I were too weak to make a good attempt. If it turns out the desk won’t fit, I’d also be open to having both/one of the legs sawed off so that I can reconstruct somehow it situ (for additional $). It’s just a nice chunk of plywood so I want to make it work asap

I have an L shaped cupboard door thats come off, the bottom screws have snapped into the wall I just need the door back on I'm not fussed if the screws are removed or if you just put them in next to it. As long as its functional as it gets opened and closed hundreds of times a day. Otherwise if you can just put the holes in for the new screws I can reattach it myself, I just dont have the tools I need to drill the holes or remove the screws.
