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.

Repair Bathroom Drawers + Mirror Cabinet

$200

Bentleigh VIC 3204, Australia

21st Jul 2026

I need two bathroom drawers repaired. Due to moisture swelling, the drawers have become difficult to open and close. They need to be re‑squared, lightly sanded if required, and the tracks realigned so they slide smoothly again. The drawers are not rusted or badly damaged — the sides have simply widened from moisture. I also need the mirror cabinet door repaired. The hinge and screws need adjustment so the doors close properly and sit flush without misalignment.

Build Timber Frame/Shelf on Laundry Bench

$300

Glen Iris VIC 3146, Australia

21st Jul 2026

Looking for an experienced carpenter or joiner to build a strong, custom timber frame/shelf that sits on top of my laundry benchtop to elevate a new 9kg Bosch Heat Pump Dryer (~50kg). The goal is to raise the dryer above the bench to preserve my benchtop space below (for a laundry basket and sink access) without hanging the weight off the drywall. Key Requirements: Load Bearing: The frame must safely support 70kg+ (dryer weight + wet clothes). Vertical legs/uprights must align with solid cabinet support beneath the benchtop to transfer weight safely down to the floor. Dimensions: Top Shelf: Approx. 600mm (W) x 650mm (D) to fit the Bosch dryer footprint. Clearance Gap: Approx. 350mm–400mm height clearance beneath the shelf so a laundry basket fits easily on the benchtop. Materials: Structural timber (e.g., 45x90mm pine framing or thick structural ply/MDF) with neat finishing or paint-ready edges. Safety & Securing: Anchor the top rear of the frame into the timber wall studs behind the drywall using L-brackets/battens to prevent forward tipping and vibration movement. Supply or place a rubber anti-vibration mat on the shelf platform. Location / Setup: Drywall backing over existing cabinetry in a standard laundry layout. Flexible with timing—happy to coordinate on precise measurements before you cut materials. Please provide examples of previous timber framing, custom shelving, or joinery work when placing your offer!
