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.

Interior Concrete Floors Repair & Refinishing

$1,000

Fitzroy North VIC 3068, Australia

15th Sep 2026

Four years ago I got the bright idea to grind the interior floors of my apartment myself. The results were.. mixed The slab was ground down to expose the aggrigate and several coats of a clear self-levelling epoxy were applied. As you can see in the images, there are grinding marks in some places, with the kitchen where I first started, being the worst location. The floor is also uneven to a degree, the self levelling epoxy did not eliminate this and many of the edges of the rooms are slightly higher than the centre. How much of an issue this is, im not sure. I am looking for a professional who would be able to provide a solution, preferably several options to choose from, to improve the appearance of the floor. This would include quoting for an entire apartment refinish/refurbishment of floors to section based refinishing for the kitchen and/or hallway areas. I have included some images as well as the floor plan of the apartment with the flooring present in all rooms minus the bathroom and toilet. Please also note the apartment is on the second floor of a 1970s brick walk-up. Thank you, Adam

Scope of works: * Remove the damaged/rotted sections of existing timber architrave/trim. * Supply and install replacement timber of a matching or closest available profile and dimensions. * Check the surrounding timber to ensure all deteriorated material is removed. * Cut and join replacement sections neatly into the existing architrave. * Fill nail holes, gaps and joins. * Sand and prepare repaired areas. * Caulk where required for a clean finish. * Prime and paint the new/repaired timber white to match the existing finish. * Remove and dispose of all damaged timber and waste. * Leave the work area clean and tidy.

Fix sticking timber courtyard door

$150

Richmond VIC 3121, Australia

2nd Sep 2026

Timber courtyard door at an apartment in Richmond has become tight and is sticking/rubbing against the frame, particularly around the latch side. It takes more force than it should to open and close and can make quite a bit of noise when closing. Looking for someone to inspect and adjust the door so it opens and closes smoothly. It may need to be planed/shaved slightly and the exposed timber resealed, or otherwise adjusted as appropriate. Ideally looking to have this done fairly soon as the apartment is about to be made available for a long-term tenant.

Brendan did a great job. Arrived on time, fixed the door quickly and professionally, and was easy to deal with. Would happily recommend.
