Get Your Home Some Steel

Alaska is called the last frontier because it is like the old west and one of the last wild rugged country places in America.  Make sure your home is ready for the rugged Alaskan landscape.  If you are having a new construction home built using steel frame construction will not only give you improved strength but will have environmental savings as well. 

Framing your home with steel will save valuable wood resources. Not only is this method of framing saving the environment in, your home will be structurally stronger as well.

With as far north as Anchorage is it is very close to the North Pole region and there is some extreme winter weather, is your home ready?  Make sure you prepare for winter before it starts to get cold by having a home inspection.  Whether you heat your home with gas, electricity, pellets, or a wood stove make sure you heating system is always inspected and ready to go.

It is a good idea to have two sources of heating just in case you lose one system.  Electric and gas or perhaps one or the other with a wood burning stove is an excellent option.  If you only have one source of heat it is imperative it be 100% ready at all times.  If you don’t have a second source of heat it is time to talk to a heating specialist and set up an alternate home heating source.

As an project owner, you will have full access to the profile for each contractor or general contractor you are interested in for your job.  Important information such as work history, references, insurance information, experience, skills, references, and a portfolio of the professional’s work are available to you.  You are the boss!
