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.

I need a shed built

$500

Donvale VIC, Australia

24th May 2024

I’ve got an Easy Shed 3x3 shed that I need assembly to be finished. I’ve assembled the rear wall, 2 side walls and 2 roof panels. So all that’s remaining is the front panel and doors assembly (Swinging, not sliding). The the parts needs to be screwed together and secure the shed in place to the concrete slab (already poured). All parts are supplied with the kid and the instructions are easy to follow, but I’ve hurt my back and can’t finish it. It will require 2 people to handle the panels. Any questions, feel free to ask!

James is an absolute professional in every sense of the word. He was prompt with communication, on time, clear with explaining things, went above and beyond to ensure that the job was done successfully.. and ultimately the work speaks for itself, an absolutely amazing final product.. You rarely find people like James anymore, an absolute gem.

Replace a rotten timber plank and a broken cement sheeting

$400

Knoxfield VIC, Australia

21st May 2024

Not sure how much it will cost... One side of the wall of the garage is cement sheeting fixed on timber frames. The base timber plank which lies flat on the concrete floor is rotten. The bottom edge of the cement sheeting is supposed to be fixed on this base plank, but, because the plank is rotten, the bottom edge is not fixed. So the storm blew part of the sheet away. You need to do 1. Replace the rotten timber plank lying on the concrete floor. You can tell me the dimensions of the plank and I can buy it for you. 2. Replace the cement sheeting with Fiber Cement Board.

Excellent work and communications! Will hire again!

2 x pull out drawers need their fronts fixed back on. Picture shows 1 of 2 that are exactly the same, except they are both right off now.

I can't do it myself because I am committed to other projects already until 5.30pm.
