Carpentry Services in Adelaide
Carpentry covers a huge range in Adelaide homes — from decking and door hanging to custom built-ins, timber repairs, and structural framing. This page covers what carpenters do, how carpentry work is priced, and the difference between a handyman-level job and one that needs a qualified carpenter or builder.
What carpenters do
Carpenters handle structural and finish timber work: framing, decking, pergolas, door and window installation, skirting and architraves, staircases, and custom joinery. Finish carpentry (visible, precision work) and structural carpentry (framing, load-bearing) are different skill sets — match the carpenter to the job.
How carpentry is priced
Carpentry is quoted by the job or by day rate (commonly $400-$700 per day in Adelaide). Custom and finish work costs more than rough framing. For anything structural or load-bearing, confirm the carpenter or builder holds the appropriate SA building licence.
