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.

Modify cabinets and install pull-out bin

$650

Milton QLD 4064, Australia

14th Nov 2025

Looking for a good tradesman who can think for himself to sort this situation. We need to install 2 x 450mm Euro Cargo bins in the cabinets shown below. But the cabinets are not deep enough for them. The idea is to cut through the back of the cabinet and into the other cabinet behind it. Then install the bins and install a false back on the 2 door cabinet behind. The works have to be done with the cabinets in position. Cannot be removed. I'm providing the bins, but you'll need to provide the white melamine for the false back (Bunnings melamine is fine) and all the screws / consumables.

Professional and easy to deal with. I'd recommend Andrew

Carpenter or handyman to build and install floating shelves

$500

Milton QLD 4064, Australia

18th Jul 2025

Hi, I am looking for floating shelves to be built and installed in a living room recess and in my study. I would like 2 or 3 x shelves of approximately 90cm wide in the living room I’d like 2 or 3 x shelves of about 100cm in the study. I would like these to be in a light colour wood to match my other decor. I don’t need anything fancy - just a space to put books and decor. I’ve taken pictures to indicate the space. My budget is flexible for a qualified or experienced person who can show me their previous work, so the price is just a placeholder.

David was lovely to work with - he consulted with me on where I wanted the shelves placed and made some good suggestions that meant the shelving was a lot more stable. Was very prompt too, would definitely recommend him and will use in the future.
