Johnny did an awesome job at covering the water stain that I had, and also agreed to paint two pieces of timber for me for an extra $130. Very satisfied with the result and the clean-up afterwards. Will definitely be calling him back in the future. Thanks again and highly recommend!

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.

NOTE: your quote must include all materials and labour (ex cost of mattress). Obviously it’s not $5-please quote accordingly. I need a double size Murphy bed built and/ or installed for my spare room. You must have own tools, experience at building this type of structure. No novices please! This is the end product I want, but am flexible on colour and materials (cost is a concern). As long as it’s sturdy, it can be of a slightly different finish. Check out how they appear and are built: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQIi0KmcF4Y

Install Dishwasher and Doggy Door

$300

Mill Park VIC, Australia

16th Mar 2024

Looking for someone to install a benchtop dishwasher (will be treated as a normal dishwasher but due to limited space we have had to go with this model). Holes will need to be drilled through the cabinetry in order to connect plumbing and power. Also as this kitchen has never been set up to have a dishwasher so additional parts may be needed, but i'm certainly no expert hence the add. I have attached images/the link below for reference but am happy to send through more photos/details if required. Dishwasher link: https://www.bunnings.com.au/devanti-benchtop-dishwasher-8-place-settings-silver_p0402328?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiArLyuBhA7EiwA-qo80BFyemfLh8FwQNp7eXWAlavufIcntfQGoQ8N3T2ihf6jkol8AenciRoCjdAQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Please install doggy door into our screen door. This screen door material is like crim safe and alot sturdier/thicker than your average fly screen. The doggy door we are looking at purchasing for installation can be found in the below link. Also open to suggestions for alternatives if you've had experience before but this one seemed to have good reviews.
