Carpenters in Southport

Our carpentry service in Southport

What we get called for most in Southport

Our carpentry services include deck and stair reframing, subfloor and bearer repairs, and door, jamb and hardware work. Built-in joinery can make better use of limited storage space in units and townhouses.

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. The housing includes 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.
