"As part of our replacing carpet with LVP flooring, we had to reconfigure a handrail with spindles. The spindles had to be removed from the underlayment, a plate needed to be installed, and the spindles needed to be reinstalled. There was some trim work which was needed on the stairwell side of the handrail as well. The really hard part was that it had to be done with very little lead time. Aaron and Bonnie came and reviewed the project with us, talked about our options, worked up a very acceptable quote, and gave us a date for their work. The whole project took them less than a day and was done to perfection. (We were uncertain at the time as to how we would finish the wood, so that was not included in their scope of work.) Their work was precise, on time, and affordable. Watching them work together was a fun side-benefit. Good people. We would highly recommend Aaron Custom Carpentry for projects such as ours. Thank you, Aaron and Bonnie!"

"Seth is a very skilled woodworker. We needed custom trim work done and he was excellent--able to match what we already had. We are so happy with the outcome. He was very efficient --got the work done in the time frame he estimated. His rates were also very reasonable. We are now looking for other projects that we can hire him back to do for us. We highly recommend him!"

"Donald gave me a very competitive quote on a deck repair and staining for a house I’m going to rent out. He gave a really reasonable quote, communicated the whole time, and finished up in 2 days. I cannot recommend him enough. I’ll be hiring him again for any deck repair and/or build needs."

"DeckNology (Dean and Nick), which is a Father and Son business, were always eager to help plan our project or answer questions. We enjoyed working with them very much. The project was finished on time in spite pf the horrible heat we were experiencing. I would recommend Decknology for decks, pergolas, or anything else they want to build. They are talented builders with a great work ethic. They will give you the best value for your buck. You can't go wrong. We are very satisfied with their work. If we have any similar projects, they will be our first call. The pergola they built for us is "one of a kind"!"

"Great work done by them. I initially wanted just gutter cleaning but I asked about pulling out bushes,etc in the front yard and they were willing to do that extra job as well the same day. I would refer them to others and use again for sure."

"Matthew did numerous projects for me. Built me an entire new fence to replace an old one, repaired an aging deck, and repaired my lawn shed. Work was done in a timely manner, work was very well done. I highly recommend CPR to anyone needing projects done well and priced fairly. Will hire Matthew again."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

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.

Some states require carpenters to be licensed to perform forms of carpentry, such as framing. The license requires a certain amount of experience and to pass an examination. In states that don’t require carpenters to be licensed, they must be licensed as a contractor if they work independently rather than solely as a subcontractor under a licensed builder. Use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to find out whether a potential carpenter is licensed in your state.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Board and batten is a type of wainscotting that uses wider boards that are placed vertically, and it has a much more rustic aesthetic than wainscotting. Common wainscotting styles are raised-panel, flat-panel, and beadboard. Wainscotting is more intricate and will typically use more elegant, subtle trims compared to the more farmhouse-inspired boards of board and batten styles.

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.
