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.

Cabinet Maker Needed – TV Unit Modification & Fridge Door

$2,000

Waterloo, New South Wales

20th Jul 2026

I'm looking for an experienced cabinet maker or carpenter to complete a couple of custom cabinetry jobs in my one-bedroom apartment in Waterloo, Sydney. Job 1 – TV Unit I've purchased two Temple & Webster TV units that will sit side by side as one long entertainment unit. The combined length is approximately 200 mm too long, so I'm looking for someone who can: Assemble both flat-pack TV units. Modify one cabinet by trimming approximately 200 mm from its width so the combined unit fits the space. Install a timber top across both units to create one seamless entertainment unit. Scribe the finished unit to the wall where required for a built-in appearance. Optional If possible, I'd also appreciate help concealing the TV cables inside the plasterboard wall behind my wall-mounted TV. If this requires an electrician, please let me know. Job 2 – Integrated Fridge Door I'd also like to create a built-in look for my kitchen by installing a cabinet-style door in front of my existing fridge cavity. The fridge opening is 850 mm wide. I'm looking for someone who can: Recommend the best approach. Supply or advise on suitable materials (or I can purchase them). Install and align a door to achieve a clean integrated appearance with the existing cabinetry. Location Waterloo, NSW. Please include Photos of similar cabinetry or custom joinery work. Confirmation that you're comfortable modifying flat-pack cabinetry. Whether you can supply the timber top and fridge door, or if you'd prefer I purchase the materials. Ive attached an image of the fridge cavity that id like to hide, an image of the basic tv units I bought and a mockup of how im hoping the final piece would look like.

Angled display shelves built in existing cabinetry

$2,000

Sydney NSW 2000, Australia

16th Jul 2026

I need new angled shelving built into my existing cabinetry to display shoes and some folded polo shirts. I have attached an image of the existing cabinetry, and also an example image of something similar to what I'm thinking in terms of the angled shelves. The shelving needs to match the laminate used for the rest of the cabinetry. It is a glossy black wenge by Polytec: https://www.polytec.com.au/colour/black-wenge/ On the left side where the ties are, I want to get ride of the lowest tie bar, and build 2 angled shelves. On the right side where there are already some flat shelves, I need to build either some angled insertable ramps, or modify existing shelving to be at an angle.

Fix sliding door (bathroom) off track, minor carpentry possibly needed

$150

Potts Point NSW 2011, Australia

7th Jul 2026

I have a bathroom pocket/cavity sliding door that has come off its overhead track (see photos). I've tried to re-seat it myself without success. There's a wooden trim piece running along the side of the track mechanism that appears to be glued (not just screwed) to the door frame — I attempted to remove the screws but the trim won't budge, which is likely blocking access to the roller/track assembly. This might be a quick fix for someone experienced with sliding/cavity doors, but could also need a bit of carpentry work if the trim has to be carefully freed or replaced. Happy to increase the budget after an onsite look if more work is required. What's needed: -- Assess why the door has come off the track -- Free/remove the glued trim piece without damaging the frame (if needed) -- Re-hang the door and adjust rollers so it slides smoothly Reinstall or replace trim as needed Photos attached showing the door, the track mechanism, and the trim piece.

Excellent communication, very generous and flexible with his time and good value. Job (fixing a broken sliding bathroom door) had some extra complications and he was happy to come back to complete on a Saturday. Highly recommend. Thank you!

I’m after a cabinetmaker to build and install a simple cabinet shell and door that replaces an existing shoe unit in the recess behind my front door. What I need: It’s just the outer box (shell) and one full-height door. No internal shelves or anything. We aim to fit ikea wire baskets inside. Key details: • External size: 1600 H x 620 W x 195-200 D mm • No back panel, fixes to the existing wall • Single full-height door, hinged on the lef • White matte flat panel finish to match my kitchen, ideally handleless or push to open • Internal clear width needs to be about 588 mm (so a 16 mm carcass works) A full spec with dimensions, drawings and site photos is attached as a PDF, so please have a look before quoting. Happy to discuss materials and timing. Let me know if you need to do a site measure first.

Could not have been happier. Very Communicative and clear. He also helped us figure out the best solution for our shelvings and shoe cabinets. Highly recommended
