Awesome job. So happy with the process and how the kitchen has come together. True luck in finding Frank and his team George and Joe at such short notice through airtasker. They were on the ball and such a great team to work with. My partner says true gentlemen. Problems and pressure points all discussed and solved effectively. Would highly recommend Frank to install your kitchen and we hope to hire them again in the future.

What do carpenters near me do?

Whether you’re planning a major renovation on your home or you simply want to make things look a bit nicer, hiring carpenters near me for small jobs or chippy can help you with many different tasks. Carpenters use other 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. 

Carpenters for 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. 

Carpenters for 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 jobs like wood staining and removal of old finish. 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, or even kitchen installation there’s someone nearby who can help. 

Joinery carpenters

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.

Cabinet maker to remove in-built kitchen bench shelf

$200

Brunswick VIC, Australia

30th Mar 2025

I really need this black bench/shelf thing removed. It’s built into all the apartments in my building. I can’t see how it joins but it’s really solid and stuck in there. I’d like it removed in a way that doesn’t damage the existing melamine (or whatever it is), although I understand it may expose some joins. Right now I just want the space it’s taking up.

Ashley knew exactly what to do! Which was perfect because I had no clue. He’s clearly a very organised person, on time with all the tools. He even brought little screw hole cover stickies for a finishing touch!
