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.

23rd Mar 2024

I would just like a rough quote for the building of a stud wall which includes the relocation of 2 doors, I have included a picture of the location of the wall, I’m happy to do the demo work of the existing wall. The doors are ~70cm wide so the wall with the 2 doors would be ~2m and the secondary wall would be ~3.3m. I am on the second floor of an apartment block with nil lift. Please include a realistic rough time frame and cost. Im trying to work out cost before I get proper quotes completed. I don’t have a budget in mind at the moment (hence the request and dodgy $10 budget as I’m not sure was is classed as realistic) Thank you 😊

Quote and advise - 4 carpenter tasks

$100

Northcote VIC, Australia

16th Mar 2024

quote 4 carpenter tasks on a 100yo weatherboard house. Keen for advise if each task needs a full remove and replace. 1) I have removed 2 rotten weather boards on my 100yo weatherboard house in Melbourne, then any visible rotten wood. See the results on the photos. I believe the wood needs to be repaired, reinforced or replaced. 4m long bearer. Put weatherboard back, ideally in a way that they can be taken down to access the crawling space easily in the future. 2) Fix the damaged weatherboard + 3.5 of skirting on the deck. It looks like there is more damage behind but could be saved. 3) Split bearer. Looks to hold up well. Not sure if this is a risk. Not heaps of crawling space so you need to be thin. 4) Joists and subfloor in the bathroom.

Knowledgeable. Took the time to explain me his recommendations.
