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.

Custom furniture/cabinet maker
$100
Kingston Foreshore ACT, Australia
7th Dec 2024
Should be an easy job for someone who knows what they are doing! I’m looking for someone to help me build a flat pack entertainment unit (per photos). However the legs it came with were too short, so I bought different legs. I need someone with custom furniture building experience so they can attach the new legs without damaging the unit. I expect this will involve drilling through the bottom panel of ply and installing some wood blocks for the screws to go into? Unsure if this is the best approach and happy to take advice. Also hoping the right person can offer me advice on a custom breakfast bar I want to build. I would want them to come back and help me with this as a second/separate job. Thanks!
Daisy did a great job explaining his approach to the task and made sure I was across decisions as he progressed. He did a good job

Install a cat net for the small outdoor space I have. I do not know what materials are needed so cannot supply. There is a fence on three sides. I have two cats. Was also hoping for a shade sail or some sort of material on top to block off the sun cause one of my cats is white with pink ears/nose.
Ali put up a secure cat net for me over the back fence to allow my cats to enjoy the outdoor space. It was strong and he did it quickly and efficiently as well.
