Carpentry job

Renwick is a gentleman and professional as much as a very skilled tradesman. Booked him to install three floating shelves, and will 100% book again for other jobs around the house. Communication was excellent, he arrived on time, and with all the tools to get the job done right. He even vacuumed as he went to keep things in our baby’s nursery super clean.

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.

Build Freestanding Birch Plywood Wall (apx.5.7m × 3.35m)

$1,000

Kensington VIC, Australia

4th Sep 2025

Hi, I’m looking for a carpenter/handyman to build a freestanding wall in my warehouse, covering the area shown in the attached photo (approx. 5.7m wide × 3.35m high). Here are the key requirements: The wall should cover as much of the surface as possible with Birch plywood panels, creating a clean and warm “wall-like” appearance. It must be a freestanding wall (not fixed into the concrete wall), but I don’t want it to be too thick, as I’d like to save the space behind. Ideally, it can be made slim (approx. 50–60mm depth) but still stable and safe. Optional: Adding wheels/casters for mobility would be a bonus, but they must not be visible from the front. Needs to be finished neatly so it looks like a proper wall for showroom/product photography. Labour + materials both required – please include supply and delivery of Birch plywood like the attached image Tasker should come to measure the site accurately before building, then return to install. welcome any suggestions.
