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.

Skilled carpenter to remount 2 newly installed door jambs

$300

South Yarra VIC 3141, Australia

5th Oct 2026

Hi, I am looking for a skilled carpenter to remove and reinstall two newly installed door jambs on a single door. I had these installed earlier this year (to replace water damaged ones), however they were installed at a slightly different angle (still level) to the originals. This means the wall edge sticks out further / not flush like before. Its more noticable in person. Apparently, jambs can be carefully pried off without splitting them or causing wall damage (see image). If the above is not possible however, I'm open to just leaving it as is. I'm looking for someone with a lot of reviews and experience due to the nature of this job. Thx for understanding :) For any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks : )

Fix sticking timber courtyard door

$150

Richmond VIC 3121, Australia

Timber courtyard door at an apartment in Richmond has become tight and is sticking/rubbing against the frame, particularly around the latch side. It takes more force than it should to open and close and can make quite a bit of noise when closing. Looking for someone to inspect and adjust the door so it opens and closes smoothly. It may need to be planed/shaved slightly and the exposed timber resealed, or otherwise adjusted as appropriate. Ideally looking to have this done fairly soon as the apartment is about to be made available for a long-term tenant.

Brendan did a great job. Arrived on time, fixed the door quickly and professionally, and was easy to deal with. Would happily recommend.
