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.

Redo cabinet and shelving for a pantry

$100

Nunawading VIC, Australia

3rd Apr 2026

Hi all, I would like to replace the current pantry space with more shelving and additional support, and possible drawers. The is a new property and settlement is mid April, I am currently organising a lot of things at the moment, and may be slow on response. But hoping to find an affordable chippy to remove what is currently there (I think it’s flimsy) and replace it with something like the attached image. Note that the depth of the shelving is approximately 30cm from the wall. Also the shape is like half a hexagon shape. I would like the shelving to be slightly thicker like the examples. I’m putting a random price on there. Of course negotiable.

Please note you may need to cut the cover panel down to size as needed, for use either as a filler or cover panel. I will only have the flat packs of the items mentioned above and whatever Ikea provides within those flatpacks there on the day. You will need to please bring tools and equipment, including but not limited to spirit levels, stud finders and something to cleanly cut the cover panels with. Please note the flooring in the kitchen and dining area is wood. You will need to bring something protective to lay across the floorboards while you are working. A clean up afterwards is also expected please, to leave the area tidy. The photos attached he'd show 2 shelves but please note there will only be one shelf per cabinet.
