Carpenter Melbourne
All Melbourne Handyman provides carpentry across Melbourne, from hanging a new door or fixing a sticking window to building shelving, replacing rotted weatherboards and repairing decks. Our carpenters handle small repairs and larger timber jobs, and one team can finish the plastering and painting that often follows.

Carpentry Services in Melbourne for Homes and Rentals
Carpentry covers far more than new builds. On a typical visit our carpenters might rehang a door, replace a split architrave, fix a loose stair tread and fit a new shelf, all in the same day.
We work for homeowners, landlords and property managers. Because we are a handyman business as well as carpenters, you can hand us a list of timber jobs and small repairs and have them done in one booking, under one quote.
Doors and Windows
Door Installation Melbourne
We hang new internal and external doors, replace front doors and fix doors that stick, drag or will not latch. A door that binds usually has a cause: a sagging hinge, a swollen edge after wet weather, or a frame that has moved. We find the cause first, then ease, plane or rehang the door so it closes cleanly.
For new doors, we help you choose between hollow-core doors for bedrooms and wardrobes, solid-core doors where you want better sound control, and solid timber or glazed doors for the front entry. External doors get weather seals and a sill that sheds water, so rain and draughts stay outside.
Timber Window Repairs
Timber windows suffer from rot along the sill and bottom rail, loose joints and sashes that stick or rattle. We cut out rotted sections and splice in new timber, replace sills and beads, free up stuck sashes and reset them so they open smoothly again.

Interior Carpentry
Skirting, Architraves, Shelving and Built-Ins
Interior carpentry is where finish shows. We replace damaged skirting boards and architraves, match existing profiles where we can, and scribe new timber tight to uneven walls and floors.
We also build and install shelving, storage units and built-in robes, fit bathroom vanities and adjust or rehang kitchen cabinet doors. For custom pieces, we measure the space, agree the design and materials with you, and build to fit. Timber for painted work is primed on all sides before fitting, which stops it swelling and cracking the paint later.

Property Maintenance
Which Property Maintenance Tasks Can a Carpenter Do?
A carpenter can handle a wide range of property maintenance, including jobs that often get left too long:
- Doors, windows and cabinets. Installing, repairing and adjusting timber doors, windows, cabinets and furniture.
- Floors, decks and fences. Repairing timber flooring, replacing deck boards and fixing fence palings, rails and gates.
- Stairs and railings. Fixing loose treads, squeaky stairs and wobbly handrails so they are safe to use.
- Weatherboards and trim. Replacing rotted weatherboards, fascias and trim before the damage spreads.
- Shelving and storage. Building custom shelving and storage to suit the space.
- Sheds and outdoor structures. Assembling and installing pre-made timber sheds and garden structures.

Exterior Carpentry
Weatherboards, Fascias, Decks and Fences
Exterior timber takes the full force of Melbourne’s sun and rain. We replace split and rotted weatherboards, repair or replace fascia boards and eave linings, and fix timber fences and gates.
Decks and pergolas are a large part of our outdoor carpentry. See our deck builders in Melbourne and pergola builders pages for new builds, repairs and restoration.
Carpentry in Older Melbourne Homes
Victorian terraces, Edwardian weatherboards and post-war homes are common across Melbourne, and their timber needs a careful approach. Original skirtings, architraves and fretwork often cannot be bought off the shelf, so we repair them where possible and match profiles when a piece has to be replaced.
Older homes also hide problems. Soft timber can mean rot, borer or termite damage underneath. We check how far the damage runs before quoting, so the repair fixes the cause and not just the surface. Where the timber then needs painting, our painters in Melbourne finish the job.
Areas We Service
Our carpenters work across Melbourne, typically within about 30 km of the CBD. That includes inner suburbs such as Port Melbourne and North Melbourne, and bayside suburbs including Elwood and Brighton East.

What Affects the Cost of Carpentry Work
The price of carpentry depends on a few clear factors:
- Scope. A single door adjustment takes far less time than replacing a run of rotted weatherboards.
- Materials. Hardwood, custom profiles and solid-core doors cost more than standard pine and hollow-core doors.
- Hidden damage. Rot or termite damage found behind a surface adds repair time.
- Access. High work, tight spaces or double-storey exteriors need extra setup.
- Finishing. Priming, painting and plaster patching after the timber work add to the job.
Grouping several small jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time you pay for. Every quote is itemised, so you can see exactly what is included. Carpentry is one part of our wider range of handyman services in Melbourne.
