Carpenter Southport

Our carpentry service in Southport

What we get called for most in Southport

Decking and stair reframing near the Broadwater, where timber gets weather from both sides. Subfloor and bearer repairs in older lowset homes around Ashmore Road. Door, jamb and hardware work in unit blocks. And built-in joinery in townhouses where storage has to be built rather than bought.

Matching what is already there in Southport

In older homes the profiles, door sizes and openings are rarely standard. Skirting and architraves may no longer be stocked, door heights are often non-standard, and openings are out of square. We match the existing profile or have one machined, and scribe and pack the work in rather than filling a gap. Post-war and 1970s homes on the western streets, plus a large apartment market near the Broadwater.

Structural carpentry

Wall framing, floor framing, roof carpentry, subfloor repairs and stump replacement. All work is carried out under our QBCC licence with engineering where required.

Custom joinery and built-ins

Built-in wardrobes, entertainment units, media walls, window seats, mudroom storage, study nooks and bespoke shelving. Made to suit your walls rather than a catalogue module, then finished flush so the joinery reads as part of the architecture.

Finish carpentry

Door hanging, skirtings, architraves, cornice, VJ panelling, battened feature walls, staircases and trim repairs. This is the detail people notice - tight mitres, straight scribes, no gaps and no filler doing the work of a good cut.

What carpentry costs in Southport (2026)

Smaller carpentry jobs generally start around $1,500-$5,000. Built-in joinery such as robes, entertainment units and media walls typically runs $4,000-$15,000 depending on size and finish. Prices move with access, the condition of what is already there, how much structural work is involved and the level of finish you choose. We confirm all of that at the inspection and price your Southport job rather than quoting from a range.
