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.

Bolt FC sheet panels to garage wall

$500

Geelong West VIC, Australia

27th Apr 2024

8 panels 2.4m x 1.2m of FC sheet to be bolted to the garage wall. The existing climber is not attached to the wall and will need to be brought down and then scaffold put over it to reduce risk of damage to the plant. I can help with that. I presume 2 people for 6-8 hours would be sufficient (not a job that can be completed alone given the size of the panels). Ideally someone with a background in carpentry or experience with similar jobs. We have only purchased and painted the FC sheeting, still need scaffolding and bolts / fixings (awaiting advice on how to fix it appropriately, if you can provide scaffolding it would be great). Quoted price is for 1 person, I can help but I would prefer not to so double it if you have a friend. We will obviously clear out the garage prior to works.

Step Adjustment for Flooring Installation

Someone with a bench saw.

$60

Belmont VIC, Australia

25th Apr 2024

Thinking someone with a bench saw could easily do this. We would like these picked up from our place and brought back included in the price.
