I cannot recommend Roz & Keith highly enough!! I had 2 beautiful pieces of solid timber furniture which meant the world to me. They painstakingly sanded each individual item piece by piece and restored them to their natural beauty. The result......OMG, totally beyond what I could have ever hoped for!! Absolutely sensational! They clearly love what they do and they do it extremely well. Fantastic people doing a fantastic job. Thank you.

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.

Build A Wooden AC Unit Cover/Top

$150

Teneriffe QLD, Australia

19th May 2024

The AC motor unit on my balcony already has a cage around it but I was hoping to get a top built so I can utilise the space. It would need to be approx. 1.1m long x 0.65m deep x 1.05m high, with at least two legs and some bracing in the frame. I am thinking a weather resistant timber top, as it often gets rain and/or full sun, plus my cat will likely jump on it to watch birds. No real rush, just curious to see if anyone can assist over the next few weeks and how much it would cost. Let me know if you need any further information. Thanks in advance! - Due date: Flexible

Cut kitchen cabinet to fit new dishwasher

$300

Seven Hills QLD 4170, Australia

3rd Mar 2024

I have an unusable fully integrated half dishwasher. I'd like to replace it with my LG full size freestanding dishwasher under the bench. Task includes: - remove old fully integrated dishwasher - remove the drawer under - remove the side panels and bottom panel to create a space where it can fit my new freestanding dishwasher (60cm X 60cm X 85cm) under the kitchen bench. - place the dishwasher under the bench - install the dishwasher. The section of the cabinet is 60cm wide, so it should fit the dishwasher. Bonus if you can close the space between the kitchen bench and the top of the dishwasher. (Kitchen bench height 87cm vs dishwasher 85cm tall) ETA of dishwasher is tomorrow Monday 7/11. So anytime after that would be awesome!

Quick to respond, communicative. Did a great job. Will contact him again if needing anything else done. Thanks Mark!
