We had some external carpentry work we needed done at our house. Craig was prompt, turned up when he said he would and did a really solid days work to get it all done on the same day. I would recommend using Craig if you need carpentry work done at your home.

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.

Custom cabinet

$1,000

Bayswater VIC 3153, Australia

10th Jun 2026

I'm trying to see if someone get make a custom vinyl record cabinet (see pictures for inspiration). I've been shopping around but cannot find anything like this. I want some sort of hinge with a door that opens up to uncover my audio-Technica turntable (Audio Technica LP60X USB Belt Drive). Underneath that, I'd like some sort of cavity to fit a speaker, then on the side, storage large enough for vinyl records (35cm high and 35cm deep). Below or on the side of that, I'd like some drawers or traditional cupboard doors for extra storage. I've included a sketch of a general idea but there is some flexibility there. I'm hoping to use a cheaper material like Laminex or similar material - it doesn't have to be solid timber as that is quite expensive.

Obviously won't be the case for everyone but there were delays with my task and some missed and ignored messages but in the end the quality of the work was top tier. Knowledgeable and professional.
