JJ Building & Renovation

“Josh has done a few jobs for me. He designed, built and fitted a floating TV cupboard & storage unit. Fitted an orangery to the rear of my house & designed, built and fitted a window casing for an extension complete with downlighting. Standard of workmanship was excellent, he is pleasant and gets on with the job. Thoroughly recommended for any job big or small”

“Simon and Co helped me out with a build that was going awry. He is a knowledgeable, calm, clear man to work with, his product knowledge and carpentry skills have been spot on. Other tradesmen on this job have commented on how good his workmanship is. I thoroughly recommend him.”
Revamp Residential

“Old single garage down a steep driveway, with a workshop underneath. Removed and replaced with a large double garage with a bedroom bathroom and workshop underneath. Loads of earthworks and retaining. Mitch and Alex were always friendly, respectful, helpful and went the extra mile. Cost was very competitive with the other 3 quotes we got, and workmanship was second to none. They organised all the subcontractors and kept them in line too. I will really miss them when they complete the project, and will definately use them in the future for any other work. They were extremely patient as it took 9 months from their initial quote for us to be ready for the build (due to draughtsman and council hold ups, not them) and Mitch kept us I formed every step of the way.”

“We love our home! We couldn’t be happier with Fearnley Construction. I originally found Fearnley Construction when I was scrolling Facebook one evening. I checked out their Facebook page, then their website and then enquired about a house & land package they had available. I knew we had found our perfect builder when they didn’t brush off my first email. Being a bit younger, we had come across many people treating us as ‘tyre kickers’ and it was really demotivating. The first email I had with Bec was so warm, friendly and informative. We already loved the house layout and the location of the section so having someone who was willing to take the time to talk to us was all we needed to convince us. We made a time to sit down with Ben & Bec to go over all of the finer details (paint & carpet colours, door handle styles etc.) and to talk about the added extras we were hoping for (house alarm, fence and a few minor changes) and they had the most amazing “anything is possible” attitude. We paid our deposit and we excitedly watched the build process! Throughout the whole build process, we were kept up to date with what was happening and what was coming up. If anything popped up and needing checking, Bec or Ben would call us straight away to clarify. We felt really included and that our thoughts were valued and taken in to consideration at all times. Fearnley thought of everything from the way a sliding door should open, letterbox number, cupboard in the garage and right down to having door stops included. They are truly experienced in what they do and put a lot of thought and effort into ensuring their designs are practical and modern. This is our first house and I am so pleased we built with Fearnley Construction. The communication was the best I have ever experienced, the pride that Ben takes in his work is inspirational and we really just couldn’t be happier with our warm and functional home. -Hannah & Hayden”

Renovating? Whether you need help with a repair job or building custom furniture, you’ll find a carpenter on Houzz. Our directory is not only a handy list of carpenters near you, it’s also a place where you can browse and view past projects, read reviews and connect directly - thus find the best carpenter for your project!

What do carpenters do?


Carpenters are neither engineers nor builders. In the simplest terms they are woodworkers, thought they don’t only work with wood, but also with plastic, fiberglass or drywall. They are often subcontractors of builders and can prepare the layout of a project or perform joinery. They can build stairs, mantles and furniture, make, install and fix doors, beds, wardrobes, shelves and bookcases, but they can also make tables, build sheds, or fix squeaky floorboards. Whether it’s the bedroom or kitchen - both minor and major renovations in nearly any part of your home will often require the craftsmanship of a carpenter, and the Houzz professional directory is a great place to find one for your project.

You may want to watch out for specialisations within carpentry - if your project is fixing something hidden behind the face of your wall, you want someone who specialises in rough carpentry. If it’s something visible and needs a beautiful finish, look for finish carpentry. Decking, window frames and (re)finishing kitchen cabinets all fall into this category, and so does heritage restoration. Depending on where you live, a carpenter can do wonders in bringing the features of heritage buildings back to life and help you preserve the historical character of your house. If you are looking for someone to build beautiful custom cabinetry, check out the cabinet makers and joinery category instead - that’s a specialty better left to the experts!

What does a Carpenter do?

Carpenters are skilled tradespeople who work with different types of wood to construct, install, and repair furniture. Carpenters can also install doors, windows, cabinets, and other wooden fixtures, ensuring proper fit and alignment. They assess and repair damaged wooden structures, replacing broken components to restore functionality and appearance. Carpenters interpret blueprints to understand project scope, measurements, and required materials.

What is the difference between a Carpenter and a Joiner?

The terms "joiner" and "carpenter" are often interchangeable, but they have distinct areas of focus. A joiner specialises in crafting and assembling wooden components in a workshop, such as doors, windows, and furniture. A carpenter is more involved in on-site construction work, including framing, installing structural elements, and fitting pre-made joinery components. Carpenters work with various materials and possess broader construction skills beyond woodworking.
