Now that we have found Matt, we will never bother with another unreliable tradie again!! Matt did the most perfect job, installing our Bunnings kitchen. He was so reliable and really friendly, even building me a little shelf out of the leftovers!! Our kitchen has had a complete makeover and we are so grateful. We’ve already recommended him to friends and he only left a few hours ago. 11/10

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.

Create simple foot rest on outdoor Zero Gravity chair.

$75

Woonona NSW 2517, Australia

9th Jan 2025

Add platform between foot bar and the end of the seat mesh to support my feet. The bottom metalwork of the seat section of the Zero Gravity includes a bar to rest you feet when the chair swings back. However, the mesh of the seat stops just under the knees. My feet don't quite reach the foot bar. I have attached a temporary cross bar just under the mesh and secured a temporary platform between the temporary cross bar and the foot rest bar for me to rest my feet on. It is very temporary made from what I have on hand and attached with string. I would like it to be replaced by a more permanent platform. A gap on either side of the platform is necessary to allow me to swing the chair into the laid back position.

Build me Kitchen drawer

$200

Wollongong NSW, Australia

30th Oct 2024

Four of my kitchen drawers were old and I like to replace them. Measurement of the drawer: 14cm high x 39 cm wide x 42cm deep I do not want to change the drawer track as you can see a track rail in the middle of the drawer.so it is simply slide in and out. I can reuse the existing kitchen door handle as long as you give me the screw hole as below measurement; the house located near train station , I can paint the kitchen front panel myself, the colour is dulux : Teahouse so far. therefore your kitchen drawer font panel might be just raw material with prime and ready for paint is fine. Please let me know how much including shipping cost, I think purchase one of this drawer first, if all good then order the rest of three drawers.

Thank you very much
