Aaron Bauer
Home Remodeling Specialist & Project Editor
If humans didn’t have to sleep, Aaron would be the first person to turn his bedroom into another workshop. With 25 years of hands-on remodeling experience under his belt, he has seen just about everything a house can throw at you, and has fixed most of it twice.
From stubborn plumbing that defies logic to electrical work that would make your hair stand up, Aaron has done the kind of jobs that most people won’t touch and made them look easy.
His passion doesn’t stop when the workday ends. Aaron actively mentors apprentices on their way to becoming licensed plumbers, electricians, and carpenters, because he believes the best thing an experienced tradesman can do is bring the next generation up right.
That same dedication to teaching is what makes his contributions to this site so valuable. He doesn’t just tell you what to do, he tells you why, and that makes all the difference when you’re standing in your basement wondering what you got yourself into.
When Aaron writes, he writes from experience, not theory. No fluff, no filler, just the kind of straight talk you’d get from a guy who has been on the job site since before some of our readers were born.
