General contractor in South Anchorage, AK

A sloped Hillside lot requires a different post configuration than a flat lot because the grade changes how load is distributed and how water drains away from the structure. Posts on the downhill side of a sloped deck are taller, which means they need more lateral bracing to stay stable under snow load. Drainage planning is also more involved, since water that runs toward the house on a slope can get under the ledger board and cause rot if flashing is not done correctly.

Large view windows on Hillside homes often have custom rough opening sizes that do not match standard window dimensions, so replacement units typically need to be ordered to size. The installation also needs to account for the wind exposure at elevation, which is greater than in the Anchorage Bowl, meaning the sealing and flashing around the frame are especially important. Older Hillside homes with original 1990s windows frequently have degraded seals and frames that have shifted slightly, both of which need to be addressed before the new unit goes in.

Homes on private well and septic in South Anchorage have water supply and waste systems that work differently from municipal connections, and any kitchen or bathroom remodel needs to account for that. Adding fixtures or changing layouts can affect the load on a septic system, and water pressure from a private well may differ from what municipal supply delivers. These are factors the team considers during the planning phase of any kitchen or bathroom project in this part of Anchorage.

The service area covers South Anchorage broadly, including the Hillside, Huffman-O'Malley, Rabbit Creek, Bear Valley, Bayshore-Klatt, and the Glen Alps area. Both established neighborhoods and newer custom-build pockets in this part of the municipality are included.
