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.

Clean, sand, and restain outdoor teak table

$200

Black Rock VIC 3193, Australia

1st Nov 2025

I’ve got an old solid teak outdoor table that needs a good refresh. It’s weathered and discoloured, and could use: • A thorough clean (remove grime, old oil, or surface mould) • Light sanding to smooth the surface and remove grey oxidation • Re-staining or oiling to bring the timber back to life and protect it from the elements You’ll need to bring your own tools, sanding gear, and stain/oil (I’m happy to cover material costs — just let me know what’s needed). The goal is to restore the table to a rich, clean teak finish — not glossy, just a natural oiled look.

Cabinet Marker- under bench pillar

$300

Beaumaris VIC 3193, Australia

25th Oct 2025

We are open to pricing, as we’re unsure of what this job would cost. We have an overhang kitchen bench with metal bar supports underneath, and we’d like to add extra support by installing a pillar. We’ve had some difficulty finding someone who can make the pillar — ideally, a round plywood pillar that could be finished with a product similar to the one linked below: 🔗 polytec.com.au – Steccawood The pillar height would be approximately 870 mm, and the width approximately 400 mm (no more than 500 mm). We’ve attached photos showing the underside of the bench and some example ideas for the pillar.

Minor carpentry: window sill + fence repairs

$400

Bentleigh East VIC, Australia

25th Oct 2025

Hi there, I’m looking for a reliable handyman or carpenter for two small repair jobs at my home in East Bentleigh: 1️⃣ Window sill repair (indoor) – A small section of timber on the internal window sill has bubbled/warped from past moisture. The leak has been fixed. It already has paint, so no repainting is required — just need the damaged section repaired or replaced (see photo). 2️⃣ Fence repair (front yard) – A few timber fence panels are cracked, warped, or have small damaged sections at the bottom edge. The fence is generally solid but needs some small repairs and reinforcement (see photos). Please include materials in your quote or advise if you prefer I supply them. Flexible with timing — anytime this week works.

Liberty did a very good job at my place — fixed a window frame and repaired my fence. Great attention to detail and very reliable. I’ll definitely hire him again in the future.
