Ten stars for Max. Don’t hesitate to hire him. He took such great care to do our job thoroughly and went above expectations when the job was more complex than expected. Max discussed the options with me and did what we needed so well. He knows what he’s doing. I would hire him again without hesitation and I will be recommending him to my friends and family.

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 a small cat enclosure and install cat door

$500

Lota QLD, Australia

20th May 2024

I need a cat door installed through an internal wall. Wall is between the garage and open area. Once this is installed, I need a small enclosure built to align with the opening of the cat door to allow the cat access to the enclosure. The enclosure will hold the cat's litter box so I will need a design that allows me to open the enclosure and remove the box for cleaning. The enclosure will need to be sturdy enough so the cat can't move it, secure enough so they can get out and access the rest of the garage. Open to design ideas but most of the ones I see online appear to be made of timber and mesh (maybe something like chicken wire????). I am thinking approximated 75 cm long, 50 cm wide, and 60 cm height. I would need to meet with you prior to assigning the job. I have not purchased the cat door yet, I can get one customised from a website in Australia but I would need to have measurements sorted first. Alternately, the photos below are different ways to achieve the same effect without a specific cat door. Please see the link below with some ideas of how go about doing this job. https://interiorova.com/cat-door-for-interior-wall/ Happy to accommodate a site inspection so you can get accurate measurements and assess the job before quoting an estimate. One photo below that I got from the linked website above shows that someone used a timber tunnel to go through the wall. I wont need such a long tunnel, I have it here to demonstrate that a standard kind of cat door may not be essential. The photo below with the desk and power outlet is where I am considering cutting through the wall for the cat door.
