Carpentry services in Brisbane
Carpentry covers everything from one sticky door to a full re-deck. Here’s what usually matters for each type of job.
- Decks: check the joists and footings before the boards. New decking on tired framing only hides the problem for a while.
- Doors and windows: measure the opening, note whether the frame is timber or aluminium, and say if it’s an internal or external door.
- Built-ins and trims: skirtings, architraves and shelving are usually the last job in a reno and the bit everyone notices.
- Fences and gates: say whether it’s a boundary fence. Shared fences usually mean a chat with the neighbour about splitting the job.
- Subfloors: photos from under the house help a lot. If you suspect termites, get a timber pest inspection before repairs.
- Measure and quote: a good carpenter wants to see the job before locking in a number.
On the sloping streets around Mount Ommaney and Jamboree Heights, deck footings and drainage often matter more than the decking itself. Mention any termite history or old DIY posts so the carpenter turns up with the right gear.
