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.

Modify and install drawer base cabinet

$250

Glebe, New South Wales

4th Apr 2026

I removed a 4-drawer stack (600mm wide) to install a dishwasher and now need those drawers moved to another cabinet on the opposite side of the kitchen. The target cabinet is about 18cm shallower, so all drawers must be shortened in depth to fit. Scope of work: * Move existing 4 drawers to the new cabinet * Reduce drawer depth by approx. 18cm (required for both options) * Modify drawers and/or cabinet as needed * Reinstall drawers with proper alignment and smooth operation Options (please quote for your preferred method): Option 1 – Modify to fit (simpler) * Shorten drawer depth by ~18cm (cut and rebuild the back of each drawer) * Keep existing drawer fronts (~600mm width) * Adjust internal structure as needed * Ensure drawers function properly and align cleanly Option 2 – Proper resize (preferred) * Shorten drawer depth by ~18cm (same as above) * Also reduce drawer width and drawer fronts to suit the narrower cabinet * Achieve a clean, built-in look with correct proportions * Maintain good structural integrity and smooth operation Preferred outcome: Option 2 is preferred if feasible, but open to Option 1 if done cleanly Existing setup: * Standard kitchen cabinetry * Drawer stack already removed * Target cabinet is empty and ready * All required cabinet boards/materials are already provided, no extra board should be needed Requirements: * Experienced cabinet maker or carpenter * Own tools required * Clean, professional finish * No damage to surrounding cabinetry Please include in your offer: * Which option you are quoting for * Brief explanation of your approach * Photos/examples of similar work if available Notes: * Open to suggestions if there is a better solution * Prefer a proper long-term result over a quick workaround

Looking for a carpenter/joinery to apartment update in Surry Hills NSW

$2,000

Surry Hills, New South Wales

14th Aug 2025

Looking for a carpenter/joinery for an apartment kitchen update and cupboard build/installation in Surry Hills. The apartment is a small 1 bedroom property with parking and lift access. Job required: - Update exisiting galley kitchen approximately 2.5m (install sink, replace appliances and hardware) - Looking at getting a kitchen island built (same length as galley kitchen 2.5M). No sink cut out required as there is an exisiting sink on the galley. Please note, one side will need to fit 2x under counter fridges and 1x under counter freezer with an inbuilt shelf on the other side of the island to increase storage space. Attached 2 different white good brands for comparison and dimensions. Ideally looking at having them integrated to match island material for a seamless finish. Likewise with the storage cupboards at the front. - Update the pantry to include a roll out shelf unit. - Update laundry cavity to a smarter layout with shelves. Open to suggestions with using both entry level to more premium materials, including IKEA hacks incorporating laminate or porcelain/ceramic tiles for the island bench. I have also attached floor plan, pictures of current kitchen and study area along with images of the style as inspiration. Looking forward to hearing and working with someone soon. I’m not familiar with pricing and willing to negotiate a fair price which reflects your experience, ability to source materials and availability.
