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.

Readjust Cabinet Hinges
$20
Blackburn North VIC, Australia
1st Jun 2026
Need 6 cabinet door hinges adjusted/aligned so all 3 cupboard doors sit evenly and open/close properly without rubbing on each other or the cabinet unit. The current hinges are pretty cheap and don’t hold alignment well, so they may need replacing if adjustment alone doesn’t fix the issue. If new hinges are needed, happy to cover the cost of them. Please bring your own tools.

Really quick and efficient job
Replace the steps( wooden)
$380
Doncaster VIC, Australia
24th Apr 2026
Hi, I need a quick fix on a small set of outdoor timber steps. A couple of the stair treads have come loose and shifted slightly, and looks like it may just need re-securing or replacing. The structure itself seems fine—no major damage—just some wear and tear from weather exposure. Scope of work should be straightforward: * Re-secure loose or sagging steps (likely just needs screws/nails tightened or replaced) * Check underlying supports for stability * Replace any broken boards if needed (happy to cover material cost) * General tidy-up to make the steps safe and solid again Overall, it looks like a simple repair job—nothing structural, just bringing the steps back to a safe and sturdy condition. Should be a quick job for someone experienced.
Great guy. Easy to work.

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 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.
