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.

Interior/Cabinetry design experience required - built in corner seat

$250

Officer VIC 3809, Australia

10th Jan 2025

Looking for someone with interior design/cabinetry design experience to draft up plans/shop drawings for the construction of a built in corner bench seating with storage underneath. So that I can take it to a cabinet maker or carpenter to make it. If you know someone who can make these things, bonus! The back rest does not necessarily need to be connected to the seat part. Looking at approximately 2400mm L x 1600mm W with a depth of 600mm for the seat. Construction ideally out of wood and would love to hear options for a higher quality wood for the seat itself. Open to cushion on the seat too. Ideally we will find a 1800mm x 900mm table to fit with this built in seating. Floor plan and image of area are attached

Hamza was great to work with and open to all the suggestions for revisions to get to the final product.

Chippie needed

$500

Ashwood VIC, Australia

8th Jan 2025

New build. Pre plaster ceiling channel work. We require installation of additional steel channels with laser levelling and moving channels in 2 rooms by a few cm. Addition of wood below ceiling joists in one room on the ground floor. Installation of small additional wooden beam below roof structure upstairs. The house is pre plaster. 3m ceilings to ground and 2.7m ceilings to upper floor. This job requires laser levelling to keep it even with work already done. This is to accommodate installation of curtain rails after the build.

Pat did an excellent job. Odd carpentry jobs required on a building site. He's got a good grip on his skill and is able to advise reasonable/better alternative ideas. He was very punctual and personable.

Install Plaster Cornice Above Custom Built-In IKEA Bookcase

$200

Clarinda VIC 3169, Australia

3rd Jan 2025

I need an experienced plasterer to install a 55mm plaster cornice along the top of a custom-built IKEA bookcase. The cornice will adhere to two different surfaces: the ceiling (painted) and a melamine filler panel installed at the top of the bookcase. My key requirement is to ensure the bottom edge of the cornice maintains a symmetrical gap (or close to it) with the bookcase filler panel, even though the ceiling and floor are uneven. The bookcase spans approx 5.7meters, and the cornice will run along its full length and should join the existing cornices to make internal corners. As the ceiling and floor are uneven, so some trimming or filling may be necessary to achieve a neat, level appearance. Please include the cost of materials in your quote as none will be provided.

Chin was amazing to work with and went above and beyond to assist with my project. He even addressed an area that was not part of the job to enhance the overall appearance of the project. Highly recommend Chin and I'll definitely be a repeat customer. Thanks Chin!

Approx 4 x 12 area. Pressure wash deck, built in seats, privacy screens near bbq and colorbond fence. Staining of the deck (jarrah) and privacy screens (merbau). Both need a different stain to suit the wood. We like a natural look nothing too harsh. Some areas are weathered so may need a sand before to stain. To be completed by Friday 13/12/24. You’d need to bring your own equipment and materials.
