How to get more carpentry and joinery jobs

Carpentry covers everything from decks and pergolas to built-in robes and fine joinery. You'll win more of the work you want by picking a focus and showing it off, instead of being a carpenter who does "everything".

Pick your focus

  • Outdoor: decks, pergolas, patios, screens.
  • Indoor: built-in wardrobes, shelving, doors, skirting and architraves.
  • Joinery: kitchens, vanities, custom furniture.
  • Renovation and repairs: rotten timber, stairs, structural work.

Give each focus its own page with photos and a rough price range.

Show the craft

  • Detail photos: joins, finishes, hidden fixings.
  • Short videos of a deck or built-in coming together.
  • Project write-ups with the timber used and why.

Where the work comes from

  • Builders and renovators who need reliable subcontractors.
  • Interior designers and architects for custom work.
  • Google searches like "deck builder" and "built in wardrobes" in your area.
  • Real estate agents preparing homes for sale.
