    An absolute 5-star job! Chinaka was incredibly responsive from the start and helpful, giving us great ideas and options and working within our budget. He did work on our outdooor patio and completely transformed it. Was on time, reliable and communicative. Would absolutely recommend Black Star and will be going to Chinaka for any future work like this!

    Chinaka did an amazing job at replacing and restoring the weather boards at my house. He was incredibly efficient and responsive. He was thorough in his approach, attended promptly and at the end cleaned up everything which I personally appreciated a lot. I can only recommend Black Star Built and wouldn't hesitate to have him back for future work.

Frequently asked questions

How much do carpenters typically charge?
Carpentry costs vary widely depending on the job. Simple trim or door hanging is usually less than internal framing, small outdoor structures or timber repairs that require more labour and materials. Most carpenters charge a call-out fee plus an hourly labour rate, with after-hours work attracting higher rates; this page shows live local pricing to help you compare quotes.
Do carpenters charge call-out fees?
Call-out fees are common and typically cover travel and the initial assessment. These fees are usually charged separately from hourly labour and materials. After-hours attendance is often charged at a higher rate, so confirm any call-out or minimum fees when requesting quotes.
Do carpenters need a licence in Australia?
Yes. Carpentry work is generally required to be carried out by a licensed tradesperson in every Australian state and territory. In NSW, licences are administered by Building Commission NSW (formerly NSW Fair Trading). You should expect providers to display a valid state building or trade licence on quotes and advertising, and to hold an ABN, public liability insurance and industry memberships such as HIA or Master Builders.
