How to Choose a Good Carpenter in Rockhampton

🪪

Verify the licence

Check the QLD licensing register before hiring. Unlicensed carpenters cannot legally do this work — and your insurance may not cover unlicensed work.

📝

Get a written quote

Always get a written quote that separates labour and materials. An itemised quote lets you compare properly and prevents scope creep.

Read real reviews

Look for carpenters with recent reviews (last 6 months) from Rockhampton or nearby suburbs. Generic or suspiciously positive reviews without detail are a red flag.

💼

Confirm insurance

Ask for proof of public liability insurance (minimum $5 million) before any work starts. Licensed carpenters always carry insurance.
