Wow! My first Airtasker experience and it’s been great, the new fancy cat microchip door is fitted in my wooden front door perfectly. Ly even talked me thru how to set it for my cat and how it can be removed if I moved. Ly was easy to communicate with, was on time, performed the job proficiently and left the space spick and span. Great first experience with Airtasker and I would highly recommend Ly and use him again. Thanks Ly!

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.

Precision cut for IKEA Gerton Solid Wood Table Top Track Saw Required

$100

Mascot NSW, Australia

6th Jan 2026

Precision cut & sand for IKEA Gerton Solid Wood Table Top (Track Saw Required) Hi, I’m looking for a professional with woodworking experience to resize an IKEA Gerton table top (Solid Beech). Details: • Item: IKEA Gerton table top (155cm x 75cm), 30mm thick solid wood. • Job: Shorten the length by 120cmx65cm with double , perfectly straight cross-cut. • Requirement: I specifically require a Track Saw or a high-quality circular saw with a guide rail to ensure a factory-smooth finish and no splintering. A standard hand-held circular saw without a guide won't be sufficient for this. • Finishing: Briefly sand the cut edge to remove any sharpness (round the edges slightly to match the other sides). • Location: You can either do the cut on-site if you have a portable setup, or I can drop it off to your workshop if you are nearby.

Amazing job. Very happy with the results!
