I cannot recommend Roz & Keith highly enough!! I had 2 beautiful pieces of solid timber furniture which meant the world to me. They painstakingly sanded each individual item piece by piece and restored them to their natural beauty. The result......OMG, totally beyond what I could have ever hoped for!! Absolutely sensational! They clearly love what they do and they do it extremely well. Fantastic people doing a fantastic job. Thank you.

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.

Build back stairs

Five outdoor backstairs need replacing, a basic job. I can provide stringers and treads if needed.

Seating frame

$600

Brisbane QLD, Australia

26th May 2024

BRISBANE AND SURROUNDING AREA NOTE: Budget varies depending on portability and material so feel free to send your own quotes. Hi, I’m looking for a furniture maker or welder to help design and create a sturdy furniture seat frame that will support the back pillows on this seating set. Please refer to the drawing for a rough idea (may need further support frame at back to hold it up). The general concept is to make this set freestanding so that it doesn’t need a wall to offer back support. It must be 190cm long, 70cm wide and 45cm high. The idea is to put the set on top of the frame and lean the back pillows against the back of the frame. I would prefer for it to be able to fold down the middle horizontally as well so it’s easier to carry. Vertically would also be helpful but not absolutely necessary - it just makes it more portable for me. If you can’t fold it vertically or horizontally, just let me know and still feel free to send a message. Material wise: aluminium or a light sturdy metal would be best. If you know any alternatives, feel free to suggest. If this sounds like a task you’d be up to, then please send me a message with a quote. I forgot to add that I’ll need 3 of these frames. Thanks!

We have tried multiple cleaners in the past, who can’t seem to lift these particular stains from dog urine. Needing 3 large bedrooms steam cleaned, with heavy duty stain remover. Stain is from dog Urine. And a 4 seater lounge with chaise cleaned with heavy duty stain removal in one corner of the couch.
