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.

Need stone mason to pick up, cut and install stone bench and cabinet

$555

Southbank VIC, Australia

27th Apr 2024

Here are the details summary of the tasks; 1. There are 1 slab stone (quartz carrara bench top) size 2100x900 and 1 slab of waterfall to be pick up in Thomastown. (Stone 20mm thick with 40mm edge) You also need to pick up flatpack cabinet from the same factory in Thomas town 2. The stone bench needs to be cut to fit the kitchen cabinet size 1600 x 580. Please note that this is kitchen island cabinet style, so I will need an overhand area approximately 300 mm. Hence, the stone bench top need to be cut and resize to 1600 x 900, correct me if I’m wrong here (can keep the same dept dimension) You will need to have your own place or space to cut the stone before install the kitchen island, as the installation will be at apartment in Southbank and won’t have space to cut the stone. 3. Need complete kitchen island installation services at an apartment in Southbank (install kitchen cabinet, install kitchen bench top, and water fall) please note that one side of the kitchen will be next to the wall. Please send through your quotation for the full complete services.

Highly recommend, good service, high quality work. Really happy with the result.
