After spending several years and countless hours looking for a larger home with some acreage for a reasonable price my wife and I decided we would be better off keeping our home and adding on.
We then had the challenge of finding an ethical contractor. We checked with the reviews of several contractors and even contacted several Real Estate Brokers. There are a lot of horror stories of contractors in Alaska and we did not want to be another customer with an unsatisfactory impression through the building process and end up spending money to have regrets. So we wanted to make sure that the contractor we hired was honest, ethical and had the knowledge and experience to complete this large addition.
Everyone kept telling us to check out Wirtanen Homes. Fortunately, one of my friends had contracted with Wirtanen so we went and looked at his project. We were surprised and impressed with the workmanship and quality work that Wirtanen had done at his home.
Shortly thereafter we met with Steven at Wirtanen Homes. He explained in detail their policies and procedures. Steve introduced me to Joe and then they went to work creating the addition we wanted down to the smallest detail.
When we were confident that the addition was exactly what we wanted Joe started the project almost immediately we realized we had made the right decision. Wirtanen crews were exemplary. Our questions and any concerns were always answered timely. In a short few weeks we had the addition we had envisioned and it was grander than we had hope for. Joe and his crews delivered on every commitment and promise they had made to us. We would not hesitate to use Wirtanen Homes in the future and have and will continue to recommend them to all of our friends and family.
