Sardar was a polite, friendly and competent professional who proactively modified a cupboard above our fridge. He was thorough and spent time ensuring a quality outcome was achieved. We are very happy with the results achieved given the difficulty and limitations of not working in a workshop. Would absolutely recommend working with Sardar to friends and family.

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.

Kitchen Cabinet (Shelves, Side Panel and Tidy)

$400

Morphettville SA, Australia

18th Oct 2024

In March I had this dishwasher installed into my kitchen, and it's all operational and great (had the plumber, had the electrician). But I need someone to finish up the cabinet to the left of the dishwasher. Keen for someone who's done this kind of thing before and knows how to make it look like a finished job they're proud of. Essentially I'd like 1-2 shelves put in for bowls and plates. I'd also like a panel put in against the dishwasher side, so the kitchen cupboard when open doesn't show the dishwasher on the side there. Probably something to cover up/tidy the base of the dishwasher at the front. I have some spare wood from the original shelf - the rectangle pictured is 95.5cm x 55.5cm x ~1.8cm - I also have a spare cupboard door and some little pieces of wood from the original install. I also have a Bosch metal rectangle that I think is meant for covering up the front legs of the dishwasher. I'm not an expert but would appreciate Airtasker's help on this :)

Amazing work from Harry. Very professional, timely and friendly in every aspect. I’m very very satisfied with the kitchen cabinet and shelf and genuinely can’t wait to put my dishes away in their new spot. Thanks Harry!

Reattach our wardrobe doors

$500

Seacliff Park SA, Australia

30th Aug 2024

We paid for someone to refurbish our 2 old wardrobes and 1 linen cupboard but unfortunately they couldn’t finish the job. We're looking for someone to complete it today (preferably) or tomorrow. The task includes reattaching the doors, adding new handles (supplied), and framing the drawers into the wardrobes. The doors might be a bit tricky to align, but we don’t need it to be perfect. We believe we have all the necessary parts except for the materials to frame the drawers, though the drawers themselves are already assembled.

Completed a difficult job and thought outside of the box. Polite and friendly, would definitely recommend.

Carpentry fix of internal door

$200

Ascot Park SA 5043, Australia

24th Jul 2024

Moisture damage to cheap internal door of rental house. Door height is under standard 2040 size, so I'm wondering if it's possible to saw off the damaged component and paint the edge, rather than order a custom internal door. Also happy to take advice on ordering a replacement door if that's a simple and affordable option. Size of current door is 1970x720x35.

Fantastic and prompt replacement of a door which needed resizing to fit the frame. Will reach out to Clint for further work, for sure!
