Joiner/ carpenter to make outdoor furniture

$600

I would highly recommend Jono. We engaged him to replace the panels on our kitchen island. He was very professional in his approach from the time he came to inspect the site until conclusion. The new panels match perfectly with the rest of the island and look great. He clearly takes pride in doing a good job.

What do carpenters do?

Whether you’re planning a major renovation on your home or you simply want to make things look a bit nicer, hiring a carpenter or chippy can help you with many different tasks. Carpenters use different 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. 

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. 

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 the small end. 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, there’s someone nearby who can help. 

Joinery

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.

Reinstate 4 built in cupboards after renovation

$100

Enmore NSW, Australia

21st Apr 2024

Reinstate 4 built in cabinets (3 wardrobes, 1 linen cupboard). We are nearly done with a renovation. Now that the floors are in and ready, it's time to get the storage back in. Our priority is speed and quality ahead of price. All cabinets were removed and labeled by a cabinetmaker found through Airtasker. The plan was for them to reinstate them, but they are on a multi-month job. What you need to deal with: - All are floor to wall, you don't need to deal with bulkheads or fitting to the ceiling. - You will need to make minor adjustments: the floor/subfloors have just been replaced so levels will have changed (for the better). - Walls are brick with lime mortar, care is needed to avoid cracking. - Optionally, replace existing ornate top moulding with something simpler. Attached photos include: - Schematics and installation locations. - Disassembled cabinets plus labeling.
