Q: What is the difference between a spindle and a baluster?

• <div><p>Many people, including professionals in the field, use baluster and spindle interchangeably to describe the vertical components of a railing (or technically, a balustrade). However, there are subtle or distinct differences, depending on who you ask. The most common interpretation is that spindles are thin or delicate versions of balusters. </p></div>

Q: What are Neoclassical colors?

• <div><p>Neoclassical architecture is all about simplicity and balance without losing the drama of its style. White, gray, cream, and other soft pastels are common. Many homeowners choose a deep natural hue for a pop of color, such as jewel tones or black accents. Modern neoclassical architecture also incorporates brick facades, bringing red into the color scheme.</p></div>

Q: What factors affect design costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on project complexity, materials, labor, permits, and required revisions.</p></div>

Q: Where can I find a certified independent kitchen designer?

• <div><p>A certified kitchen designer (or CKD) is a certification given by the National Kitchen and Bath Association. These designers have completed the necessary hours of training and education to specialize in kitchens, and therefore understand the wide variety of project needs (like plumbing, electrical, appliances, and more). Most pros will make their certifications known on their website, but you can also ask during your search for a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/kitchen-designers/">local kitchen designer</a>.</p></div>

"I got a deal from Berger about their table pad and just in time for my new dining room set. I didn't have time to set the template due to a new baby in the house. A few months later, they still honored my deal! WOW! I sent it in and they made the pad pretty quick. Shipping was fine and the fit was excellent. I would recommend them to anyone! Truly a good company to work with. A++"

"EXCELLENT!
This was a most impressive job!
I know I would never have been able to do as good of a job as they did.
Clean up went very smoothly as all they needed to do was remove the coverings, equipment and supplies.
For people who think they can paint (emphasis on myself), you will be amazed at what a difference professionals make. I have done
interior and exterior painting myself. It was hard work.
Our home looks great!
Thank you Alan, Gene and Tom.
