Install Timber Tops on Railings & Wood Cladding/Render on Front Pillar

$1,000

Calwell ACT, Australia

7th Jul 2025

Hi there, Looking for an experienced handyman or carpenter to help with some front and back porch upgrades: 🔨 Tasks include: Installing timber tops on approx. 15m of steel railings (front and back porch). Adding wood cladding or rendering to a pillar approx. 4–5m tall at the front porch. Painting timber tops and ensuring a neat, finished look. 💡 Materials: The price I have included is for labour only, as I am hoping to supply materials myself, however I may need some guidance on what to get. If you are happy to supply materials instead, please include that in your quote. 🖼️ Note: I have attached images of my railings and pillar, along with a couple of inspo pics for what I’m aiming for. Thanks!

Sunny did an amazing job installing timber top railings and cladding our front pillar. His workmanship was clean, precise, and totally transformed the entry. Great communication, attention to detail, and the final result exceeded expectations. Highly recommend Sunny for any quality carpentry work!
