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.

Paint a table
$200
Giralang ACT, Australia
5th May 2024
I'm looking for someone who can collect a table from my shed in Giralang, paint it, and return it. I want it painted black. I don't have the paint yet, but am happy to get some on your advice, or pay for it in addition. I'd like it done and returned to me by 15 May if possible, but I am flexible about this date. About the table - it was a marketplace find, and it's an old Freedom furniture one and is pretty solid. There are some stains on the top (see in pics). The legs come off using an allen key. There are 3 draws, and one of them is a bit dodgy in a corner, so if you know how to nail that back together it would be a bonus. Am open to offers. Thank you.

Wooden platform for shed standoff for use on slab.
$200
Whitlam ACT, Australia
3rd May 2024
I need two small wooden platforms to be anchored on a concrete slab. The slab has a slight decline. Just need the platforms to stand off a bit higher, to be anchored in and support a small lean-to shed. For example, One of the platforms would have an end at about 200mm high, whereas the other would have about 50mm high. L x W at 2200 x 400. That’s the right idea for both.
