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.

Resize hob cutout to refit induction hob.

$100

Ringwood North VIC, Australia

15th Jan 2025

Resize cooktop hob cutout space with precisely measured wood lengths and width to allow a new hob to fit according to hob specifications. The old hob space is too big for the new cooktop hob. The wood will need to be measured, cut to precise size and secured with screws. This includes the positioning of the new cooktop hob brackets that will also need to be measured and positioned correctly and screwed into position. Once the hob cutout space is correctly retrofitted, the electrician can then install the hob. It is a laminate benchtop. No cutting of the benchtop required. The cutout is 55mm too big. Just need to add wood pieces around the opening so the new hob fits. The new hob circumference just covers the original cutout.

Did the job as expected. I feel the amount quoted according to the size of the job was excessive. Cutting two pieces of wood to size and nailing it for $250 was a rip-off. I honestly thought it was a job that required technical skill, when watching what he did, I could have done it myself for free. My own costly mistake. He has tried to justify the outrageous quote, but I feel he has excessively over charged me. Beware, he is expensive!
