Loose wood banisters



We have oak banisters with pickets every 4" on all three floors. They were not properly installed two years ago and are falling apart. My 7 year old was even struck in the face when a picket upstairs fell out and came crashing down the stairs. I have tried to find books on this type of repair without luck. They are not attatched to the floor joists. I have tried glueing and nailing each picket spacer in place, but the pickets still come out. I don't trust the contractor that installed them to do the repair and no one else will touch them. HELP! Thank you.
