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.

Creating custom stepped cabinet

$1,500

Potts Point NSW 2011, Australia

4th Sep 2026

(Let me know if I've missed the mark price wise here, I'm not very knowledgeable about this kind of work, so please tell me what's reasonable) I'm hoping to maximise the most of a far wall in the living room, which has this kind of column protruding in the centre that has meant there's some dead/difficult to utilise space on each side. I'm hoping to create some kind of unit that runs the length of the wall and is built around the protruding pillar. I can best describe the piece in three parts. The first part, which is the lowest to the ground, functions essentially as a bench to sit on. About 50cm off the ground. Ideally this could lift up from the top to work as a chest-style storage box. The next section is in the middle, and about 110cm off the ground. Would transition like a step up from the previous section. The final third section would be the next step up. The box part of that would only rise to the same height of 110cm. But ideally on top of this third part in the corner, there could be a sort of shelf/partition on the side. Anyway, crucially, I'd hope that for the second/middle section and the far corner third section, there could be sliding front doors to allow for storage behind them. Re a material, I was thinking this could be done with plywood? But am openminded re materials/whatever works and is sturdy enough to support a human's weight

Sand, varnish timber top timber panels ( nail 2 loose panels back in)

$150

Darlinghurst NSW 2010, Australia

22nd Aug 2026

I need to fix up the top panels of my verandah fencing brought back to life. The panels have been exposed to the weather, so I guess they need a sand and revarnish to match colour of the rest of the fencing, which does not need anything done to it. I also need the two panels that have come loose to be nailed back in.

Monique was amazing. She did my job on the same day it was assigned. She sanded and varnished my damaged fence so it looks new again and fixed some of the panels. Monique cleaned everything afterwards and was polite and efficient. I can really recommend her! Thank you Monique.

Precision cut plywood panel

$100

Erskineville NSW 2043, Australia

15th Aug 2026

I need a plywood panel cut to size to neatly cover the exposed section of floor shown in the photo. The existing white panel above the gap will be used for this. The surrounding timber flooring is not perfectly straight/square, so the panel needs to be carefully measured and cut to fit the actual shape of the opening with minimal gaps. There is also a cable coming up through the middle of the exposed area, so the panel will need a precisely positioned groove/channel or narrow cut-out to fit around the cable. Looking for someone experienced with accurate measuring and precision cutting/joinery who can achieve a clean, neat fit.

Hugo did a great job. Very professional, precise and easy to deal with. The finished result looks neat and fits perfectly. Highly recommended.

Sand, stain and coat a section of wooden flooring to match colour

$750

Tempe NSW 2044, Australia

14th Aug 2026

We've recently moved into a house where one section of wooden floorboards is coloured differently to the nearby sections. We would like that section of floor restained so that it better matches the rest of the house. We know it likely won't be possibly to perfectly match the colour - that's fine, we just want the difference to be less obvious. The area measures approximately 3.5m x 3.5m. We don't know what wood the floorboards are made of, nor what stains or products have been used. The house is from around 1900. We are seeking someone to: - Sand that area of floor back, - Stain the floorboards to better match the rest of the house, and - Apply a new topcoat. We will pay for the stain and top coat - but would appreciate your expertise to choose and purchase the right products to use, particularly to best match the colour. The house is currently empty so there's no furniture etc to work around. We will have some people painting the house at the same time but will make sure they are not in your way. Work can be carried out any time between Sat 15 Aug to Thu 20 Aug. There's free street parking outside and it's usually not difficult to find a spot. We're just off Princes Highway, near Tempe and Sydenham stations. Feel free to ask any questions.

Phil did a great job with our flooring work. The job was complete within a couple of days of acceptance and we were very happy with the results.

Fix sliding door (bathroom) off track, minor carpentry possibly needed

$150

Potts Point NSW 2011, Australia

7th Jul 2026

I have a bathroom pocket/cavity sliding door that has come off its overhead track (see photos). I've tried to re-seat it myself without success. There's a wooden trim piece running along the side of the track mechanism that appears to be glued (not just screwed) to the door frame — I attempted to remove the screws but the trim won't budge, which is likely blocking access to the roller/track assembly. This might be a quick fix for someone experienced with sliding/cavity doors, but could also need a bit of carpentry work if the trim has to be carefully freed or replaced. Happy to increase the budget after an onsite look if more work is required. What's needed: -- Assess why the door has come off the track -- Free/remove the glued trim piece without damaging the frame (if needed) -- Re-hang the door and adjust rollers so it slides smoothly Reinstall or replace trim as needed Photos attached showing the door, the track mechanism, and the trim piece.

Excellent communication, very generous and flexible with his time and good value. Job (fixing a broken sliding bathroom door) had some extra complications and he was happy to come back to complete on a Saturday. Highly recommend. Thank you!
