Now that we have found Matt, we will never bother with another unreliable tradie again!! Matt did the most perfect job, installing our Bunnings kitchen. He was so reliable and really friendly, even building me a little shelf out of the leftovers!! Our kitchen has had a complete makeover and we are so grateful. We’ve already recommended him to friends and he only left a few hours ago. 11/10

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.

Carpenter needed – convert sliding door to internal hinged door

$100

Coniston NSW 2500, Australia

9th Sep 2026

Looking for a carpenter/handyperson to convert an existing sliding barn-style door into a standard internal hinged door. I’d ideally like to reuse the existing glass-panel door if possible. It currently runs on an exposed sliding rail (pictured). Job would involve removing the sliding hardware, assessing the existing opening, installing/building out a suitable door jamb/frame, hanging the existing door on hinges, and installing a handle/latch so it closes properly like a normal internal door. Happy for you to advise whether the existing door is suitable or whether modifications are needed.

Joiner needed for new rangehood install

$100

Port Kembla NSW 2505, Australia

18th Jul 2026

I’m looking for an experienced joiner or cabinetmaker to assess and modify my existing overhead kitchen cupboards so I can install a new copper rangehood. My current setup is: * Current rangehood: 600 mm wide * Gas cooktop: 600 mm wide * Oven: 600 mm wide * New copper rangehood: 900 mm wide Because the new rangehood is 300 mm wider, it will extend approximately 150 mm past the cooktop on each side. The centre cupboard above the stove will need to be removed, and the cupboards beside it may need to be cut down, rebuilt or replaced with narrower cupboards. I would like someone to: 1. Inspect and measure the existing cupboards and new rangehood. 2. Advise on the neatest way to prepare the cabinetry before installation. 3. Provide a quote to remove/modify the cupboards before the rangehood is fitted. 4. Provide a quote to finish or rebuild the cupboards after installation. 5. Ideally create two slim matching cupboards or neat filler panels beside the new hood, so there are no awkward gaps and I retain as much storage as possible. The copper hood may require a separate rangehood insert and secure wall mounting. The electrical and ducting work will be completed by the appropriate trades—I mainly need help with the cabinetry/joinery before and after installation. Please bring experience with kitchen cabinetry and rangehood modifications. Photos of similar work would be appreciated.
