"Work of Art Drywall was a fantastic choice for our remodel project. Our home, a 1941 gem, needed a complete overhaul. John was a pleasure to work with and was able to break down the project into manageable phases. A remodel such as this can be somewhat overwhelming. He made the process manageable and we are now living in an amazing space!"

Offering high quality construction for everyone’s finish carpentry needs. We strive to complete the best quality and expert craftsmanship possible for our customers. We have built a reputation for being honest, affordable, and treating our customers like family. We take pride in offering our clients accurate quotes that they can trust from conception to completion. No surprises. No hidden fees. Just reliable and honest service estimates.

"AWESOME....couldn't be happier with the experience. There were several delays (no fault of the contractor's), and the project from quote to finish spanned about 7 months. Mike at Aurora Homes kept us in the loop every step of the way. His quote was fair and graciously included a senior discount. Once work finally got underway, the crew was all here early every morning and worked their tails off all day. Initial time estimate was two weeks -- they got it done in 5 days. Workmanship is superb and it looks fantastic, and Mike worked with me every step of the way to handle any issues. They also did an amazing job of cleaning up the mess. To top it all off, Mike and the crew were all super nice guys to work with. HIGHLY recommend Aurora Homes!"

Skilled in all aspects of my trade including new construction or remodel, residential or commercial. In 1997, I began my career in tile/stone masonry in Las Vegas with Bricklayer's and Allied Craftsmen Local #13. After the financial crisis, I left Nevada to come back home to Alaska in 2009. I learned my trade from some of the best tile/stone masons in the country. I am owner and sole employee of my business so, all work done by TileMaster is done by me. Please verify my Alaska contractor's license (#171572) and Alaska business license (#10147598) at https://www.commerce.alaska.gov/web/cbpl/Home.aspx You can also view my portfolio on Facebook.com (TileMaster)

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

When deciding if you should use 2x6 or 2x8 deck joists, consider the size of the deck, joist spacing, and materials. Larger decks, larger-spaced joists, and weaker wood all require more support, meaning they need larger joists. For example, 2x8 redwood joists spaced 16 inches apart can only safely span up to 10 feet and 7 inches. On the other hand, 2x10 southern pine joists spaced 12 inches apart can be as big as 16 feet and 2 inches. If you aren’t sure what size joist is best for your project, speak with your deck builder.

Yes, building a screened-in porch on an existing deck is absolutely an option, although there are many factors to consider when adding a screened-in porch to a deck. You or the general contractor you hire will need to add a frame to a deck without a previous screen to keep it safe from damage. You’ll also want to work together to make sure your new porch matches your existing home style.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

There are some rules regarding how far your exterior bump-out can go. For a cantilever bump-out that avoids the need to provide additional structural support, the limit is often 24 inches. However, if a footing and foundation are part of the project, a bump-out can encompass a whole room or more. Remember that many residential properties are subject to limits regarding the total house size relating to the size of the lot.
