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.

Looking for custom wooden boards

$100

Burwood East VIC 3151, Australia

4th Apr 2026

Looking for custom wooden boards for 4-tier running shoe rack – M12 version (Melbourne) Hi everyone, I’m building a custom DIY shoe rack for running shoes, very similar to the style shown in the attached photos. Updated dimensions: • Length: 900mm • Width (depth): 250mm • 4 layers / 4 shelves — I need 4 identical wooden boards Board specifications: • Material: Pine or similar timber • Each board: 900mm (L) × 250mm (W) × 20mm thick • Pre-drilled holes for M12 threaded rods • Hole diameter: 14mm (2mm larger than the rod for easy insertion) • Hole layout: 6 holes per board (3 on the front row + 3 on the back row), with centres 30mm from the edges — same pattern as the detailed diagram attached. • Finishing: Please round/chamfer all edges and corners nicely (to give a smooth, professional look), sand the surfaces smooth, and apply a clear varnish or lacquer finish. Height requirement: I would like approximately 150–170mm clearance between each shelf (15–17cm space per layer for running shoes). This should result in a total finished rack height of around 600–640mm. I will purchase all the M12 stainless steel hardware (threaded rods, flange nuts, and dome/acorn nuts) myself — M12 is readily available locally. Looking for a local carpenter, maker, or small workshop in Melbourne who can cut, drill, sand, round the edges, and finish these 4 boards. Please reply with your quote including price and estimated turnaround time. Thanks in advance! Feel free to message me with any questions or suggestions. 😊

G'day all, I'm looking for a cabinet maker to help me with a small kitchen project. What I'm needing is a cabinet box made up and fitted above our fridge in the kitchen. We have the doors and shelves, but for some reason.. the cabinet box has gone missing ( dont ask haha).

I am in urgent need of a carpenter to fix this small part of the bathroom wall. I had a carpenter buzz the walls but he forgot to do above the window and now the tiles are going to look bad.

Help fix and clean outdoor BBQ unit/joinery

$500

Kew VIC, Australia

28th Oct 2025

I have an outdoor BBQ unit. There are three tasks - 1. I need someone to repair the cabinet door that has come loose from its hinges. The hinge mounting plates have stripped out of the cabinet frame (see photo). This has been repaired before by the installer and failed. 2. The cupboards need cleaning. 3. I need a way for the doors to be secured closed, so that water/weather does not get inside the cupboards. I am guessing that water damage has caused this.

Excellent work. Thank you again.
