To Whom it May Concern: As a mortgage lender in Alaska, I have had the pleasure of working with Wirtanen Inc. on behalf of borrowers who contracted with Mr. Steven Wirtanen and his company for the construction of their homes. Having been a lender for almost 25 years, I have had the opportunity to work with the majority of the builders in the area. Some builders were competent, honest and delivered a quality product and some did not. Wirtanen Inc. is among the most ethical and competent companies with which I have ever worked. Over the past two years I have done numerous transactions with Wirtanen Inc. and without exception, every one was positive. Mr. Wirtanen’s clients are not only satisfied with the finished product (his homes are functional, beautiful, full of craftsmanship not often seen and extremely energy efficient using green technologies most builders skip), but also with the process during the term of construction. Those facts alone set Wirtanen apart from the majority of builders. If you have any questions about Steven Wirtanen or Wirtanen Inc., please do not hesitate to contact me at (907) 352-8302.
