Constraction reviews in Eagle River, Alaska

😎 ⚒🛠🏗

Absolutely horrible company a employee of there’s caused a wreck on the road and they hid there dash cam footage called them and there still not cooperating not a appropriate way to do business if employ people that driver reckless you have a duty to the public who you depend on for your operation I would advise against doing business with a company with shady morals who clearly don’t care about our safety on the road

This is the best construction company in the state! I highly recommend their top notch quality work.

I've had issues every winter for years with my garage door freezing shut after pulling my car in during the winter. The ice/snow on my car would thaw in my heated garage and run down to the door where it would refreeze. This also caused the concrete to break up under the door. Ben and his crew installed a trench drain inside the garage that catches the water before it gets to the door so the door won't freeze shut. A catch basin and sump pump sends the water outside. Previous contractors wanted to replace my garage floor and add a drain that would empty into my septic tank. Their solution would create a lot of work for me to empty my garage, and loss of the use of my garage for at least a couple of weeks - probably more due to removal of the old concrete, running the drain to my septic system, pouring the new floor, and allowing it time to cure. Then I would need to move all my stuff back into the garage. This would create an unnecessary and very large expense. The trench drain was a far more time (two days plus another day to cure the concrete) and cost effective (less than a third of previous estimates) solution. I also didn't have to remove all my stuff from the garage, just the stuff near the door where they had to work. I will use PGC's services again.

I'm super lucky to have Precision General Contractors as the installer of my hydronic heating systems. No problems so far with 1 year of usage. I hadn't experienced any leaks and unstable heat temperature through out the house. I appreciate the quality work you gave!!!

Fantastic experience! Scott and the team made it very easy to schedule and complete my deck project within my schedule.

Fantastic. I've known the owner / operator of this company for years, and he has never failed to live up to his word, and work. Being in real estate, I can safely say, in a decade, he's my favorite contractor. Whether you need a remodel on a kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, or perhaps new flooring, lighting, exterior house work, tiling, windows, look no further.

Absolutely amazing company, the integrity and professionalism combined with fast work makes them very easy to work with, I can’t express how much we appreciate them and all they’ve done for us during a difficult moving time. Thank you!

Great work was done! We have had them complete multiple tasks (plumbing, deck work, bathroom repairs to name a few) for our BNB and couldn’t be happier with the work! I will absolutely use them again!

These guys did an awesome job with some flooring and trimming all over the house: both living rooms, bathrooms, all doors, kitchen, around stairs and stairwells. The house has some odd angles and round corners, and they took the extra time to cut the trim to make it look flush and seemless. They also cleaned up and didn't leave a mess everywhere, a problem I've had with other businesses. They even figured out an electrical issue in the kitchen. Would/will use them again on future projects.

Fast, polite, and professional! I had some work done at my doggie daycare and Scott was very quick and efficient with the work, along with being sure to try and be quiet as to not alert the dogs! I'll be calling soon for future projects!

Great work, super knowledgeable crew overall super happy with how quickly and clean everything went!

Scott and Essential are a great choice for any of your contracting needs. I've had everything from very complex property reframes to home inspection lunch lists and he and his crew have done a great job with everything.

I appreciate having someone I can trust to get things done and not needing micro managing, and Essential provides that.

Scott came and helped with the issue in my kitchen. He was able to schedule me quickly and came right away. I could tell he is an honest man, and he took care of the issue correctly. He spotted the problem and fixed it. I will definitely be calling him again if I have any issues with electrical devices (lights, switches, plugs, GFCI's) or plumbing issues with my sinks, faucets, or toilets.

I have used Scott Cook on several projects now and APPRECIATE his responsiveness on our construction and remodel request(s). Scott also took care of a warranty item in a snap. I just referred a client this morning to Scott - he is that good.

Top Notch! Highly Consider hiring Scott for your next construction need! Here are 4 reasons why:
1.) Scott's high-caliber character is exemplified by being a man of his word and his decision/ability to stand behind that strong integrity for life.
2.) Scott has proven his unwavering care, attention to detail, and sincere desire for doing the job right the first time throughout multiple repairs.
3.) Scott has access to a legitimate and knowledgeable engineer and is not just shooting from the hip.
4.) Scott's honest transparency, solid dependability, and great reliability backs his craftsmanship far more than any written guarantee ever possibly could.

Absolutely the most ethical and honest General contractor I’ve met in Alaska. Our real estate team closes more than 150 transactions per year and there’s never a question on who to use for repairs. Choose him the first time instead of having him redo someone else’s work, I promise you, you won’t regret it.

Attentive and responsive handyman services. Quality work, especially with a remodel of a super tiny bathroom that must have been challenging to maneuver in. Turned out so cute!

The Essential crew worked on several projects in my condo throughout October 2024. Their team worked together to accomodate my hybrid work schedule - and did a great job! I am about to reach out to them to see if they can assist with some additional work :-) I highly recommend Essential Property Services.

**5 Stars – Highly Recommended for Flood Renovations!**

After a devastating flood damaged my home, I was in desperate need of a reliable contractor who could bring my house back to life. Fun fact, insurance doesn’t cover ground water intrusion, even if it’s from rain, they will deny the insurance claim. I’m so glad I found Scott with Essential Property Services! From start to finish, the team was professional, timely, and thorough. They went above and beyond in every aspect of the renovation.

**Key Highlights:**
- **Exceptional Quality**: The craftsmanship was top-notch. Every detail, from the flooring to the finishing touches, was done with precision and care.
- **Efficient and Reliable**: They worked quickly without sacrificing quality, which was especially important given the urgency after the flood. I don’t know about you, but it’s hard to find a contractor that’ll even show up in Anchorage. Essential Home services is not only showed up. They got the job done in three days so my live in Nanny could arrive to a finished room.
- **Excellent Communication**: I was always kept in the loop with progress updates, and any questions I had were answered promptly.
- **Stress-Free Experience**: They took care of everything– making the entire process as seamless as possible.

If you’re looking for a contractor who can handle flood damage restoration and home renovations with expertise and care, I highly recommend Essential Property Services. I will call them again for any other repairs needing done to my house. They truly transformed my space, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. This is a team you can trust

Scott is incredible to work with! As a Realtor, having a contractor I can trust is SO important and he always takes great care of my clients! He has great communication, is knowledgeable, very fairly priced and he SHOWS UP!! I highly recommend contacting Scott for your handyman needs!
