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.

Kitchen Cabinet and Benchtop Adjustment to Expand Fridge Space
$800
Box Hill North, Victoria
7th Jan 2026
Our fridge is larger than the allocated fridge space in the kitchen. An additional 15–20 cm of width is required for the fridge to fit properly. To achieve this, the upper and lower cabinets on the left side of the fridge space will need to be adjusted, along with the benchtop and the kitchen backsplash. A wine cabinet needs to be added next to the fridge cabinet to fill the additional gap created. This work will involve cutting and modifying the existing cabinets, doors, benchtop, and kitchen backsplash, along with any associated tasks and touch-ups required to achieve a clean and neat and professional finish. Size of the benchtop: 160cm (length) x 70cm (depth)
Cabinet maker needed for kitchen project
$10
Kew VIC 3101, Australia
7th Jan 2026
G'day all, I'm looking for a cabinet maker to help me with a small kitchen project. What I'm needing is a cabinet box made up and fitted above our fridge in the kitchen. We have the doors and shelves, but for some reason.. the cabinet box has gone missing ( dont ask haha). Of course the job will need to be measured up, box made, and box fitted, which I'm happy to help with if required. Box measurements approx as follows: Height: 550mm Length: 950mm Depth: 400mm This job would ultimately suit someone who has no dramas doing the quick small jobs, and you'll be well payed for your services. As you can see I've just put a small amount on the job listing, so I can leave it to you to tell me how much you need to get it done👍 Cheers all Cam🍺
Carlos is a great guy. He's punctual, takes pride in his work, and is a great tradesman. I would thoroughly recommend Carlos to anyone looking for an experienced cabinet maker. Thanks Carlos ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Carpenter to level small part of wall

8th Dec 2025
I am in urgent need of a carpenter to fix this small part of the bathroom wall. I had a carpenter buzz the walls but he forgot to do above the window and now the tiles are going to look bad. He is very unreliable and I really don’t want to deal with him anymore. I need a carpenter to remove the villa board (just above the window, about 2.5m x 40cm) and buzz the wall so it is level, then replace with villabaord. If we need more villaboard I can pay for that separate to the labour. Need it done tomorrow because the tiler is coming on Wednesday to tile. Thank you.

Help fix and clean outdoor BBQ unit/joinery
$500
Kew VIC, Australia
28th Oct 2025
I have an outdoor BBQ unit. There are three tasks - 1. I need someone to repair the cabinet door that has come loose from its hinges. The hinge mounting plates have stripped out of the cabinet frame (see photo). This has been repaired before by the installer and failed. 2. The cupboards need cleaning. 3. I need a way for the doors to be secured closed, so that water/weather does not get inside the cupboards. I am guessing that water damage has caused this.
Excellent work. Thank you again.
