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 and assemble galvanised chicken cage

$350

Newmarket QLD 4051, Australia

31st Oct 2024

I preferably need at least 2 people to help me build and assemble a chicken cage that i bought online. I have 2 ladders plus some wire cutters but you will need to bring a drill, drill bits and a set of piers. This will take 2 people a few hours to complete. This is not a normal flat pack and you will need to assemble everything yourself - building and connecting the steel posts to make a frame, cutting the wire to size, with wire tying and securing the cut sections of wire to the frame and then tying down the tarp to the roof. I added the maximum allowed amount of photos i could have the instruction manual plus a photo of what the kit looks like. The cage is 2.3m high by 1.95m wide by 2.85m long. Task to be complete on either Saturday 21st October or Sunday 22nd October. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions, I would add more photos if i could but 10 photos are the limit for airtasker.

Jackson was easy to work with, had good communication and helped find solutions when building my flat pack coop didn’t quite go as planned.

Cut and finish off a man hole in ceiling

$200

Bardon QLD, Australia

19th Oct 2024

We need a manhole cut in the ceiling of our walk-in-robe and then fitted off and completed so that it looks similar to that in the photo (or happy to consider other recommendations on finishes). We will paint. We have had the ceiling cavity inspected and understand that the area above where we want the manhole to go has been prepped to take the manhole but for whatever reason it wasn’t installed. As you will see from the photos, there are already guide holes in the ceiling showing the outline of the manhole space. Access is super easy. If you’re properly licensed and experienced we would love your help. I’ve also got no idea on what a reasonable cost to complete this work is, so keen to consider your estimates.

Dylan was professional and courteous and knew what he was doing. He also worked safely and cleaned up afterwards - excellent and will be using him again
