"I used HomeAdvisor to find a pro to build a new deck off our living room. The contractor was licensed, had great reviews, and offered a competitive price. The project was completed in under two weeks, and the quality is excellent. Love spending evenings out there now!"

"All I can say about our experience using Cunningham Construction is - they were outstanding! They handled our whole job, from beginning to end, in the most professional manner, communicating with us every step of the way, always following through on their promises, and ultimately producing a most beautiful new gallery building for our artwork. We couldn't be happier! Certainly 5 stars in every aspect and the strongest recommendation we can give! Kudos to you two, Paul and Vicki! (from Karen & Matt Wyse, Moraga)"

"Heath Stairworks did a great job on our stairway. They added a beautiful hand rail and iron spindles. They listened to what we had in mind, made suggestions, and it turned out exactly how we wanted it. I would definitely use them again."

"From the beginning to the end of my project, was professional and meticulous! Although we had unexpected delays due to supply chain issues Larry was there to figure it out and make it work and get it done. From the listening and planning of what I wanted to the end result is perfect. My kitchen is now what I thought I wanted but more… he customized everything to what I wanted down to the drawer heights for cookware and cooking supplies. I always knew when he would arrive and leave with the team and communication of the project was amazing. With a full remodel he even made sure I had a cooking heat source throughout the project. Attention to details shows in his final work and I absolutely love my kitchen, even 2 years later there is nothing I would have done different because Larry made sure it was right the first time!"

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

If you don’t have a power saw with a blade where you can adjust the angle, you could use a miter box and hand saw to make the cuts. The miter box contains wide slots to support the piece of baseboard and other narrow slots to accommodate the blade of the hand saw. However, it’s tough to make non-standard cuts beyond 30 or 45 degrees when using a miter box.

Balusters provide vertical support to make sure your stair railing and/or deck is as sturdy and safe as possible. These spindles help hold up the railing so people walking up or down stairs have something strong to hold onto. They can also act as a unique design element if they’re custom-made to suit a specific style or size requirement.

Building involves setting foundation posts, framing with durable wood, adding roofing support, and protecting from elements with water-resistant finishes.

Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.
