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.

Install 3 Internal Door Handles (Minor Carpentry Required)

$200

Carlton VIC 3053, Australia

15th Jul 2026

Need someone to install 3 new internal door handles. The existing handle holes are slightly too large. The round rose just covers the hole, but there’s not enough timber underneath for the mounting screws to secure properly. The doors will likely need small timber infills/repairs so the screws have something solid to bite into. The strike plate/latch recesses also need a small amount of chiselling for the new hardware to fit correctly. The new handles are on site and I’d ideally need done tonight or first thing tomorrow morning.

Kitchen bench/ cabinet top infil to cover dishwasher

$250

Armadale VIC 3143, Australia

14th Jul 2026

Looking for a cabinetmaker or experienced handyman to help finish off a dishwasher installation. I’ve recently installed a freestanding slimline dishwasher under an existing benchtop. Because the dishwasher protrudes slightly (around 10–12 cm) and sits at a different height to the small cabinet beside it, there is an unfinished-looking gap and exposed uneven top. I’d like someone to help make a neat, custom solution (e.g. infill panel, thicker cabinet top, trim or similar) so the dishwasher/cabinet have an even top. The existing benchtop cannot be modified or extended. Ideally I’d like it to look tidy both from the front and when standing above it, as the exposed top/gap is currently the main thing that looks unfinished. It doesn't have to be in stone or very sophisticated or even aligned the the benchtop, just something even on top of the dishwasher/small cabinet tops that are now sticking out. Photos attached. Needs to be completed by the end of July. Open to suggestions on the best way to achieve a clean, professional finish.

Cabinetry amendment to fit dishwasher

$400

Coburg VIC 3058, Australia

11th Jul 2026

Cabinet Modification for Full-Size Dishwasher Installation Looking for a cabinet maker or handyman to modify our existing kitchen cabinetry to fit a standard full-size dishwasher after our current dishdrawer finally died. The job: * modifying the existing cabinet e.g removal of shelf underneath DishDrawer *cutting the cabinetry and kickboard as required to create the opening for a full size or skinny dishwasher (full length) * Ensuring a neat, professional finish ready for dishwasher installation. Measurements are: H: 87cm (floor to black countertop, incl kickboard) W: 59cm (internal cabinet wall to cabinet wall and width of current dishdrawer) D: 56cm (measured to back wall of adjacent sink cupboard) Kickboard H: 10cm

Trim wooden moulding on cabinet so it fits into alcove

$100

Docklands VIC 3008, Australia

6th Jul 2026

I have a solid timber buffet cabinet that is approximately 5–10 mm too wide to fit into an alcove in my apartment. The cabinet body fits—the issue is the decorative timber moulding around the base. I’ve already started removing part of the moulding (see photos), but the timber is much harder than expected and I’d rather have someone with the right tools finish it cleanly. I’m looking for someone experienced with woodworking/cabinetry who can: * carefully trim/remove the required section of decorative moulding * keep the visible cabinet looking neat * test-fit the cabinet into the alcove * stop once it slides in cleanly The cabinet does not need to be rebuilt or repaired—only the moulding needs trimming. Please bring your own tools (oscillating multi-tool, planer, router, chisels, etc.—whatever you think is most appropriate). I’d love this completed today or tomorrow if possible. Photos attached.

Amazing help and so happy with results
