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.

Install wooden veneer wall cladding on one wall

$300

Canterbury VIC 3126, Australia

10th Jan 2025

Here is a link to the product that we already purchased and have received, and would like installed in early Feb: https://www.thewoodveneerhub.com.au/collections/acoustic-slat-wood-wall-panels?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAhP67BhAVEiwA2E_9gx3DkHhGSwQnq6FEk03e5lJcJ2Xbr3945VUSzj0UMuIn2bUxuvXrPhoCOg4QAvD_BwE As you can see in the pictures, I have highlighted the wall area in yellow where we want the panels to be installed. There is a TV and floating cabinet that will need to be worked around with the cutting of the panels. The TV will likely need to come down during installation, then put back up. We will of course clean up the area prior so there is no stuff in the way. The next pic is just of the boxes of wall panels we have already received. We received this video from the company on how to install: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K_DD_7lLsQ It is supposed to be DIY installation, but we would prefer a carpenter or joiner to do this for us.
