Paul is a kind, honest handyman who is straight talking and doesn’t rush the job. He helped me restore an old family cedar table with sentimental value, as a gift for my mum. I’m keen to learn furniture restoration, so Paul took the time to explain tools and show me. Exactly what I was looking for: a handyman teacher happy to tackle a project together. Thank you! Very fair price, and he stayed a good deal later to finish the table together. Paul was open to ideas, ie “beach vibe” beeswax natural legs and clear matte protective varnish on tabletop. I learned a bit about DIY (eg use a dust extractor vacuum to avoid dust residue indoors/ sand outdoors if it’s not raining!) but I appreciated the solution that Paul offered to fix the dust. He’s genuine and reasonable. The finished table looks a million dollars and is 100% worth it. It’s already getting comments - hard to give back now! I look forward to Paul coming back for more handyman jobs. Thanks a tonne mate see you soon!

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.

Remove old dishwasher + install new one (laminate needs cutting)

$100

Edgecliff NSW 2027, Australia

28th Oct 2024

I need someone to help remove my freestanding dishwasher and connect my new one. The issue is that the kitchen laminate flooring, which may have been installed after the dishwasher, is jamming it and preventing it from being pulled out easily. You may need to cut a small piece of the laminate or find another solution. Since I'll be replacing the flooring soon, it's fine if the laminate is slightly damaged or doesn't look perfect. Once the old dishwasher is out, you'll need to slide the new one in and connect it. Location: Edgecliff Time: Flexible, ideally asap Please bring your own tools

Incredibly efficient, great communication and thorough work! Douglas and Victor arrived at my house basically within 15mins of me posting my job and went above and beyond! Douglas took the time to explain things to me - he is an incredibly professional, warm and friendly person. Highly recommend!

Old Balinese wooden daybed needs to be partially disassembled to be moved to another room. It doesn’t have normal screws but rustic wooden pieces to hold it together.

I’m happy to do a thorough clean of the doors and drawers and wooden panels. You’ll need to Dismantle and label doors and drawers. Lightly sand all laminate (with wood effect) Prime (for laminate) 2 coats of paint (for laminate) Put back correctly Top cupboards, oven panel and fridge side cupboards to be white Bottom cupboards and under bench to be darkish blue Kick board also to be painted. (Please provide Protection for flooring and tape appropriately to avoid contact with walls/splash etc.)

Frank and Alex were great. I was amazed at their neat and careful painting. They did a great job. Job completed in 1 day. Unfortunately I had to leave before they left the job so left the sign off of the blue to my husband (which didn’t really happen) there were a few bits missed w the blue, but I’m sure they would have fixed up if they realised. They left small pot of each colour. Top tip - get a sample pot! I don’t love the blue I picked!
