I placed the job up yesterday and today saw the completion of our job. 😊We are very grateful for the prompt response. Andrew was great. Polite, friendly and very knowledgeable.

Shane was a nice guy who unfortunately had some dramas happening at the same time as the job, making it difficult for him to focus on the task. He has a great can-do attitude and nothing seems to hard for him.

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.

Need a cabinet maker to cut and join a cupboard door to reduce width.

$100

Merewether NSW 2291, Australia

1st Oct 2025

I have installed a dishwasher in our kitchen which required shortening one of the modules to fit. This was a corner module with a hinged double corner door which needs to have one panel of the door cut and rejoined to fit the narrower section. This will need to be taken out of the centre due to the decorative boarder and also the hinge insets. Can deliver the panel almost anywhere Newcastle/Hunter as I travel daily for work.

Cut solid aluminium rod to size (match wooden dowel pin)

$50

Merewether NSW 2291, Australia

25th Sep 2025

I need a solid aluminium rod cut down to the same length as a wooden dowel pin from my child’s bunk bed. The rod is 10 mm thick, and I’ll provide the wooden pin as a size reference. Task is simply to cut the aluminium rod cleanly to size — tools required (saw/angle grinder/etc). Should hopefully be a quick job for someone with the right cutting tools.

Joiner to help fix up kitchen cabinets after dishwasher install

$350

Maryland NSW, Australia

16th Oct 2024

Just wanted to see if there were any joiners or carpetners available to help fix up our cabinets since we had a dishwasher installed. The trimming at the bottom is too high for the dish washer door to open. This needs a cut out so the door can open fully. There is also a big gap and need some sort of plating put in place to cover it up (or any other shelving suggestion etc..) Noting the dishwasher has been glued into place so we have to work around it :/ Budget adjusted to best recommendations...Reach out if you need further information..
