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.

Qualified Carpenter needed! Repair/replace wooden door frame & a stair

$1,000

Glen Osmond SA, Australia

21st Mar 2024

My Newfoundland dog, Quantum, has chewed the bottom part of the hallway door frame (mostly the right side and a bit on the left side - refer to the picture) when he was teething. Also, there is damage to the last stair of the staircase. It’s a requirement from the owner that we get these fixed as our puppy has grown up now, hence looking for a certified carpenter. It’s been three years we are living here as tenants. If possible, I want all those damaged part of the wood to be replaced with a new one and get it color matched/polished with the old one to bring back the original look. Also, there are few little scratches on one door which need to be polished/burnished. I’ve marked the picture with the details where possible. Please give me your best quote. Looking to get this done asap, if possible, latest by Tuesday 26/03. You can also visit my house to finalise your quote. Thank you 😊

Overhead cabinet removal to make room for the new fridge which is too.tall. (Pictured is old fridge) Doors already removed. Care is required: the cabinet is fixed beneath a bulkhead above, a fridge panel and pantry to either side, and behind to the wall I presume although those fixings aren't visible due to gyprock. There are water and power outlets behind the cabinet which supply the fridge. Bonus points if you are an experienced joiner or cabinetmaker and can quote us on reinstalling a new or resized cabinet!

Leasing my house out this week and need someone to come and finish building our garden shed. Have assembled all the walls, just need someone to complete the shed (adding door/hinges/lock and attaching the roof). Shed is a Stratco Handi Saver Garden Shed 1500W x 760D. Link: https://www.stratco.com.au/au/sheds--garages/garden-sheds/handi-mate-garden-sheds/handi-saver/handi-saver-garden-shed-1500w-x-760d-hsgs1500760az/. We have completely moved out and will have some open inspections occurring this coming week so will need to bring own tools (drill, rivet gun etc). The instructions and screws, rivets etc are all in the shed. Also dont require it to be drilled into concrete, just want it free standing in the corner as seen in the first image. Thanks :)

Theo did an amazing job with my garden shed. Was able to get it installed in a timely manner and fix a few manufacturer issues with the product. Look forward to working with him again!

$1,500

Wayville SA, Australia

I am looking at having some custom shelving made and installed in my living room. There are are two sections to be done either side of a fireplace – on the left the the width is ~2160mm, on the right, 2070mm, both maximum ~2500mm high. We'd like a row of cabinets/cupboards along the bottom, and then 2-3 rows of book shelves. It will need to be custom designed to suit the space (as one side will need to fit a TV), and then installed. We are looking for a cost effective solution, but still a high quality – no Ikea bookcases! If you have done this type of work before please provide references and images, and an overview of estimated costs.
