Fixing rusty hinges

Bathroom Cabinets & Shelving Mount Albert, Auckland

Roman was very proactive and easy to communicate with. He understood the job and managed to resolve the issue quickly and at a fair price. His professionalism and expertise were too obvious to ignore - he visited on time and offered different solutions based on the job requirements. Would highly recommend dealing with him, and if I have any future maintenance jobs, I would seek his assistance.

Vince is a professional with heaps of knowledge: he renovated my shower, and was able to find out within minutes the issue created by the previous builder years ago. He had a friendly approach to my issue and came with good option to solve the problem. I highly recommend Vince.

Very happy with the work Nodin and his son did turning our porch into a toilet. They were hardworking, respectful, professional, and paid great attention to detail. I can be quite fussy, but they were patient and went above and beyond to meet my expectations. They also tried their best to work within my budget without compromising on quality. The final result exceeded my expectations and I truly appreciate all their hard work. Highly recommend!

We are extremely happy with the kitchen Island bench that Franz made for us. He is a craftsman, and went out of his way to source recycled Rimu. He brought to life my brief design description. The bench is better than we imagined. If you want a bespoke piece, then Franz is your man.

A Rough Guide To Carpenters In Auckland

More than just timber workers, Auckland’s carpenters are some of the hardest working tradespeople on the job. Find out how to land a good one here.

A carpenter is the tradesperson who might just be the handiest one to have in your phone book.

Auckland has a history of great carpentry works. Sir John Logan Campbell was one of the men behind the famous Acacia Cottage, one of Auckland’s first buildings. We have the beautiful Gothic inspired homes like Highwic that have been well loved and are still standing proud today.

Did you know that even A.J. Hackett, our bungy jump inventing brethren was a carpenter by trade?

If you need to find out a little more about the current state of the carpentry field in Auckland, and how to hire one, read on.

Projects that a carpenter is qualified to work on

Carpenters in New Zealand are more like builders. They don’t just work with timber materials, they can also work with steel, ply board, concrete, and more. They can help you through from the initial stages of planning a new home right along to maintenance and repairs on old homes.

They measure and cut raw materials, use a range of power tools, can make furniture and outdoor structures, build walls and stairs and follow blueprints.

A carpenter may have received a three to four year apprenticeship by studying for the National Certificate in Carpentry and may be a member of the Certified Builders Association of New Zealand.

How much will it cost to hire a carpenter?

Carpenter’s rates depend on experience. At present, the cost to hire a carpenter is on average around $49 per hour in Auckland, but this figure may go up or down. From there you will have to factor in the cost of materials for the job too.

Ask your carpenter about what materials are best to use for your specific situation.
