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.

Joinery Installation – Office Cabinets & Desks

$10

Mount Waverley VIC, Australia

8th Oct 2025

We’re looking for experienced joinery installers or cabinet makers to help assemble and install several large, pre-made pieces in an office setting. Scope of work includes: 1. L-shaped cabinets Two sets: • 3.3 m (H) × 5.4 m (W) • 3.3 m (H) × 3.3 m (W) Most carcasses are pre-assembled; only sections 6 & 10 are flat-packed (see attached photo for reference). 2. 3 × bookcases Carcasses pre-assembled but split into two parts each. 3. 1 × glass-door cabinet Carcass assembled; glass doors need installation. 4. 3 × desks Drawers and cabinets pre-assembled, require installation only. Additional Details: All materials are supplied. Taskers must bring their own tools, dolly and ladder. Some cabinets include LED lighting, which will need to be connected and working. The site is tight and currently filled with cartons. Items (2, 3 & 4) need to be carried up to Level 1 — if some units don’t fit the stairs, partial disassembly may be required. This is not a one-person job due to cabinet size and weight — ideal for 2-4 installers. Realignment of doors may be required after installation to ensure proper fit. Packing and removal of rubbish from the site is required after completion. No installation manual is available, so an experienced joinery installer is preferred. Quoting Instructions I prefer an hourly rate quote since the total workload may vary. Please let me know your rate per hour, estimated total hours, and whether you’ll be working alone or with a second person. I’m happy to adjust the total payment after completion based on the actual time required.

Joiner/Cabinet Maker/Chippy to create a few Half recessed shelves.

$5

Narre Warren North, Victoria

12th Aug 2025

I’m looking to have a few custom shelves made for displaying alcohol. The original plan was to have them fully recessed into the wall, but this section of wall was previously an external wall, so there isn’t quite enough depth. Based on my measurements, I should have around 60–80mm of recess space, which is still fine for the design. The wall is built into solid concrete with a double brick backing, so I’m confident we can cut or adjust a couple of studs and noggins without compromising structural integrity. For the shelves, I’d like: A black, gloss-finished recessed box (not sure of the exact material — I’ve heard of Polytec but open to suggestions) A thin, inexpensive backing, as I plan to mount tempered glass at the back of the shelves (behind the bottles), but not at the front like in the reference image LED - Somehow get LED'S to work with it seamlessly. Strong support — even with the partial recess, the shelves should be able to hold weight without issues I also have a few different size options we could consider depending on the expertise and approach of the person taking on the job. I’m really just looking to work with someone who’s interested in the project and can bring it to life.
