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.

Relocate & recut kitchen benchtop + cabinets to fit 60cm Oven

$200

Nunawading VIC 3131, Australia

15th Aug 2026

Replacing my current ~53–54 cm freestanding oven/cooker with a 60 cm model. Need the left benchtop and its base cabinets moved left and the benchtop trimmed so there’s a 600 mm clear gap for the new cooker. Location: Nunawading What needs to be done 1. Remove base cabinets on the left side of the current freestanding oven. 2. Remove the left section of benchtop above those cabinets. 3. Reposition that benchtop further left along the wall (towards the door frame) to create space for the 60 cm cooker. 4. Reinstall base cabinets under the benchtop, starting from the new left edge. 5. Cut the benchtop at the end near the cooker so that, once reinstalled, there is a 600 mm gap between: • right edge of left benchtop, and • left edge of right benchtop (where the new 60 cm freestanding oven will sit). 6. Apply silicone sealant along the top edge of the benchtop where it meets the splashback. Assumptions / exclusions • Carpentry/benchtop and cabinet work only. • No plumbing or electrical work. • Freestanding oven will be disconnected/moved by me (or via a separate task); tasker doesn’t need to handle the appliance unless agreed. • Existing cabinets and benchtop are reused, not replaced • Small adjustments to align doors/drawers after reinstallation included. • Clean‑up of offcuts and reasonable job‑site tidy expected. What I’ll provide • Clear access to kitchen and cabinets. • Exact new oven model/dimensions before work starts (so the 600 mm gap is correct). Please include in your offer • cutting my benchtop type: • Estimated time to complete. • Tools you’ll bring (e.g. circular saw, jigsaw, clamps). • Photos of similar benchtop/cabinet relocation work if available.
