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.

Cabinetry making - closet(will provide material)

$700

Melbourne VIC 3004, Australia

21st Oct 2026

Hello, We are in need of someone to complete our current DIY closet cabinet renovation in our en-suite. Currently, we have almost finished the back side ourselves with the LED lighting. We just have to install the bottom drawers. This was done very DIY style, as you can see in the photo. We need help with the right side, starting from scratch. We will order the MDF for the cabinets but need someone to essentially create the cabinets and put them together according to the attached design. My partner, who is a sparky, would like to do it together as he wants to also learn throughout the process. Here is a reference of the design, although we may have to adjust it to the actual closet dimensions. For example, the right side of the cabinet design goes all the way to the top of the wall. However, our actual closet has a cornice at the top, which does not allow us to go all the way up. We have the design idea but will need help with the dimensions of the cabinets for the right side as well. However, we can discuss the details later. As my partner is a sparky he will guide around the LED lighting set up and do the electrical work. I have also attached a photo of what our closet currently looks like. We do have tools in the garage for most of the work. However, a walkthrough of our closet and the tools is probably required (if you need more or specific tools), and if you have your own additional tools that you think would help, that would help. We are looking for someone experienced in cabinet making and has done several projects with a portfolio as we would like your guidance and expertise. The start date can be decided together. However, ideally, we would like to start in the next two weeks. Thank you!

Repair timber front-door jamb and align smart-lock strike plate

$250

South Melbourne VIC 3205, Australia

21st Oct 2026

Repair front door jamb and recut latch recesses Looking for a carpenter or experienced handyman to repair the timber around our front door’s strike plate. The smart lock works properly, but the existing recesses have been poorly cut and adjusted over time. This sometimes prevents the door-closed sensor from sitting correctly, triggering an alarm even when the door is closed. The job involves: * Checking the door and hinge alignment. * Repairing the damaged area with a fitted timber insert. * Accurately recutting the recesses and refitting the existing strike plate. * Testing that the door closes and locks reliably without triggering the alarm. * Sanding, priming - I can paint as needed at a later date. Getting the recesses and alignment right is the main priority. Photos show the area with and without the strike plate.

Modify kitchen cabinetry

$10

Coburg VIC 3058, Australia

10th Oct 2026

Hello! We’re looking for an experienced cabinetmaker or carpenter to modify our existing kitchen cabinetry. The work includes: * Dishwasher: Create an opening in the existing cabinetry to accommodate a freestanding dishwasher. * Microwave: Create an opening beneath the benchtop to accommodate a microwave, with one or two drawers installed underneath. * Kitchen island: Remove the small, lowered benchtop section from the island and leave a neat finish. * Under-sink cabinetry: Replace two damaged internal shelves beneath the sink. Timing: Ideally, we’d like all works completed before 19 October. However, the dishwasher opening is the priority and must be completed before this date, as tradespeople are scheduled to remove the existing floor coverings and sand the floorboards on 19 October. We’re looking for someone experienced in cabinetry modifications who can achieve a neat, professional finish while working with the existing kitchen. Please let us know your availability, estimated cost and whether you have experience with similar work. Photos of previous work would be appreciated. Thanks!

Great to work with Rajesh in redesigning our new kitchen. Would recommend to others

Mount 2 stainless steel wall shelves

$100

Albert Park VIC 3206, Australia

9th Oct 2026

Looking for someone experienced with wall mounting to securely install 2 stainless steel shelves above my coffee station. I’ll attach a photo of the actual unit/coffee machine and a render showing roughly how I want the shelves positioned. The shelves need to be: * centred properly on the wall * level and securely mounted * with the lower shelf around 2–4 inches above the top of the coffee machine * evenly spaced above each other Please note the shelves look slightly off-centre in the render, but I want them properly centred to the wall in real life. Would prefer someone with experience mounting shelves and checking wall type/fixings to make sure they’re secure.

Brian did a great job mounting the shelves. He was friendly, professional and clearly knew what he was doing. He took the time to make sure everything was level, centred and securely fixed, and the finished result looks exactly how I wanted. Really happy with the work and would definitely recommend him!

Carpenter needed to remove plaster board from ceiling and probe joists

$200

Melbourne VIC 3121, Australia

6th Oct 2026

I have a problem with a leaking balcony into my garage. I will be organising this to be repaired by a builder but will first get a structural engineer to fully assess the area and work out what scope the project requires. However he needs the ceiling to be opened up so all areas with mould are exposed. See red box on photo for area that needs removing. Additionally the engineer won’t do any invasive testing like probing joists to check the condition of the wood. I would appreciate if this could be done as part of the job.

Did the task as described and was very helpful when asked about things not directly related to the task

Install stainless steel wall shelf onto brick wall

$50

Prahran VIC 3181, Australia

22nd Sep 2026

Looking for someone to install a stainless steel wall shelf onto the brick wall pictured. Shelf, brackets and original mounting hardware/fixings are all supplied. I also have the installation instructions. It needs to be mounted securely and level on the front of the brick wall, underneath the TV, just below the power points. Please take appropriate care when drilling and ideally have a detector to check the area before drilling. Should be a fairly quick and straightforward job for someone with the correct masonry drill/tools and experience mounting into brick. Located in Prahran. Happy for you to use your own suitable masonry fixings instead of the supplied ones if you think they’ll provide a better/safer installation.
