Q: Do baseboards have to be nailed into studs?

• <div><p>Baseboards don&rsquo;t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: Does a carpenter have to be licensed?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">contractor licensing tool</a> to find out whether a potential carpenter is licensed in your state.</p></div>

Q: What are the spindles on a deck called?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Should you tip contractors, builders, or general contractors?

• <div><p>Tipping contractors, builders, or general contractors is not customary or expected. Unlike many service professions where tipping is built into the payment structure, construction professionals typically charge a full rate for their services. However, you may choose to tip a worker for exceptional service, such as if they go above and beyond, stay late to meet a deadline, or work on a holiday weekend. Before offering a tip, it's a good idea to ask about the company's policy, as some prohibit their employees from accepting gratuities. If you want to show your appreciation for a job well done without giving a cash tip, consider writing a positive online review or offering to serve as a reference for potential new customers.</p></div>

Q: What should a detailed contract with a contractor include?

• <div><p>A contract should outline the scope of work, timelines, costs, payment schedule, and materials used for clarity and protection.</p></div>

Shawnee Tree is professional, quick to respond, and competitively priced. They have taken down multiple trees on the property on different occasions and always leaves logs neatly stacked for removal. We highly recommend them for fast and friendly service!

"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."

"Glen Bailey provided the highest quality service and workmanshop of anyone I've ever hired to do work at my house. He not only did a great job with the sliding glass door project, but he also installed my new shower curtain rod and fixed my towel hanger as well, all for a very reasonable price. He took his shoes off when he came inside the house and cleaned up after his work. What's not to like. I highly recommend his service!!!"
