Wirtanen Inc. ~Detailing~

Wirtanen Homes have been recognized for their low maintenance and dependability not only through our list of satisfied clients, but also local realtors, lenders, appraisers, bankers and inspectors. Beneath what can be seen in every home are reputable building techniques that provide a dependable and solid structure in Alaska’s climate.

• Solid pour concrete footings, and foundations structurally reinforced with rebar.

• Exterior porches and decks supported with frost protected concrete pillars to guarantee stable decks during the seasonal freeze thaw.

• Tyvek house wrap and Vycor window wrap to keep wind and rain away from the structure.

• Crawl spaces are protected from harmful radon gas with our air tight building system.

• Roofs are protected with ice and water shield at the eaves and valleys and our standard 30 yr architectural shingles are glued for durability against Alaska’s notorious winter winds.

• All applicable garages include a smooth finish, lightly sloped concrete slab to a central floor drain(s) with our standard 8’ high garage doors to accommodate oversized vehicles.

• Your choice of three color exterior paint theme is a standard feature along with fully enclosed painted soffits.

• Interiors of all Wirtanen Homes have ceramic tile entryways to effectively protect the front entry from water of snow melt.
