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

Most of the time, you’ll want to use screws on your subfloor rather than nails. Nails can actually weaken plywood, whereas screws can easily penetrate without damage. They also form a more secure connection because of their shape, preventing squeaky floors and tightly holding the subfloor in place. That said, some contractors do prefer nails depending on the type of floor covering because they allow for more flexibility.

When choosing a drywall anchor, consider the weight of the object you're hanging and how much weight the anchor will need to support. The heavier the weight, the stronger the anchor you'll need. You’ll find the weight capacity on the packaging when shopping for anchors. 

Also, remember that you can use more than one anchor when hanging something on the wall. If you're using multiple anchors, divide the object weight by the number of anchors to determine how much each will need to support. If you need help deciding which drywall anchor to use, you can hire a handyperson to hang your objects. 

A few signs that you need a new door frame include:

  • The door no longer fits properly in its frame and sticks or scrapes.

  • You notice cracks, holes, or rotting.

  • You feel a draft coming from around the door when it’s closed.

  • You find yourself frequently needing to make repairs.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.
