There's a big difference between a competent carpenter versus the people who just made due, cheaply. My dad was a carpenter, and I've seen him work. He built and or supervised all of the framework and stairs in a house I lived in for years. It doesn't take an expert to do everything in a house, including stairs. But, it does take experience. (That's where I'm laking, but I muddle through projects anyway.)
