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 the boards between floor joists called?

• <div><p>The boards between floor joists are called <b>bridging or blocking boards</b>. These are the shortest pieces of wood in the flooring system&mdash;with beams being the longest and joists sitting somewhere in the middle&mdash;and they serve to reinforce the joists and help provide even support to the flooring above. Bridging specifically helps cut down on uneven and creaking floors in your living area.</p></div>

Q: Why are carpenters so expensive?

• <div><p>Carpentry is a skilled trade and requires many years of experience to acquire the skills necessary to do the job efficiently and correctly. Because every home requires a carpenter at some stage of the building process, carpenters are typically in high demand. The higher the skill level, the higher the hourly rate the carpenter can charge.</p></div>

Q: Who can build my shed?

• <div><p>The pro you need to hire to build your shed depends on the shed you purchase. A local handyman or general contractor can help build a prefab shed for you. However, if you&rsquo;re looking for a custom shed, contacting a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/shed-construction/">shed builder near you</a> is the best option. Make sure you get quotes from 3 pros to decide on the best pro for your job. </p><p> </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>
