Your Trusted Local Contractor 
in Sterling, Soldotna & Kenai, 
Alaska
Selecting a suitable contractor is a crucial decision for construction projects. 
Examples of these projects include the construction of a new home, septic 
system installation, steel building construction, land clearing for development, 
and repairs. The contractor will decide the quality, cost, time, and end result 
of the project.
In Alaska, and even more so in Sterling, Soldotna, and Kenai, this choice is 
even more important. The weather is extreme, and the ground is 
temperamental. The construction season is short, and the building materials 
need to be of a high grade. The contractor needs to have a good sense of the 
land as well as the people.
In these scenarios, homeowners and business owners have a reputation for 
trusting J&B Construction as the general contractor of the Kenai Peninsula. 
J&B Construction incorporates local insights and practical experience to offer 
home construction services in Alaska tailored to the challenges of Alaska 
and the needs of the owner.
1. Local Knowledge is Unique and Valuable
Alaska is unique compared to the other states in the USA when it comes to construction. 
The Kenai Peninsula has its own climate, soil composition, and challenges based on the 
season. A contractor who works here must be understanding of the following:
• Deep frost lines
• Freeze-thaw cycles
• Moisture levels
• Unstable soil types
• Winter snow load requirements
• Limited building windows
• Limited daylight in the winter  
• Region-specific regulations
Another contractor from out of state cannot match this expertise. With the Kenai 
Peninsula's local expertise, J&B Construction can deliver the best construction service to 
the people. The team works in Sterling, Soldotna, and Kenai. We’ve constructed homes 
and various other buildings. We’ve built in the unique conditions of the Kenai Peninsula.
Local expertise allows us to get it right, the first time, avoiding costly errors and time 
delays.
2. Full-Service Contractor for Every Need
One of the reasons customers trust J&B Construction is that we offer an entire range of 
construction services. Now, you don't have to hire multiple contractors, manage different 
companies, coordinate different schedules, and deal with a long communication gap. We 
complete every aspect of a project ourselves.
We specialize in:
Home Construction
We construct a variety of homes, from small cabins to larger family homes. Every home is 
equipped to survive the Alaskan environment and is complete with energy-efficient and 
durable insulation that is customizable to every individual client's desires. 
Steel Building Construction
We are one of the top builders of steel buildings in Alaska. We construct steel garages, 
barns, workshops, commercial buildings, and more, and all of our buildings are tailored for 
the weather around the Kenai Peninsula.
2. Full-Service Contractor for Every Need
Dirt Work and Land Preparation
Every project in construction starts with the ground. We prepare the land for a 
construction project by clearing, leveling, excavating, grading, trenching, foundation 
preparation, drying correction, and building the driveway. 
Septic System Installation and Repairs 
Our team knows the Alaskan soil and moisture well, and they understand how to place a 
septic system so that it will last within the soil's freezing conditions; placing septic 
systems in the ground is a delicate task, and if done incorrectly, it can cause problems in 
the future.
Foundations and Concrete Work 
We construct foundations that will withstand frost heave and ebbed soil for the long term. 
For all of our foundations, we used less concrete, and in the long run, it will last.
Construction of Driveways and Gravel Work
Alaskan driveways must stand up to heavy machinery, snow, and difficult landscapes. We 
create strong gravel and dirt driveways with good drainage and compaction.
3. Constructed for Alaska's Weather
Alaska's weather is strong and nasty. Poor construction will lead to big problems, and fast. 
Common issues are cracked foundations, shifting structures, frozen septic lines, unstable 
driveways, and leaky roofs. That is why we design our construction for:
Extreme Cold
We install the right insulation, have frost-protected foundations, and use cold-weather 
construction techniques.
Heavy Snow
Roofs and other structures must be able to safely support the snow that will fall in the 
winter. 
High Winds
Kenai's and Soldotna's coastal zones have strong winds. We, therefore, have our buildings 
specially reinforced for this.
Ground Movement and Moisture
We mitigate long-term water damage by improving drainage, preparing the soil, and 
ensuring that the soil will not have standing water for long.
4. Honest, Reliable, and Transparent Service
In construction, not knowing what happens next with your job is the worst feeling. You 
personally know this because:
- You don’t answer your phone
- You don’t meet deadlines
- You charge your clients more
- Your work is subpar
- Disappear out of the blue
J&B Construction has built the company on trust. You receive updates all the time, and 
constant communication is the norm. You are given fair quotes with no hidden fees and no 
surprises. We don’t leave the job until we finish and do it to your satisfaction.
5. Quality Workmanship You Can See and 
Touch
A home, steel shop, driveway, foundation, septic, etc., installation. Quality is needed. 
Choosing local contractors leads to:
• Stronger builds
• Cleaner cuts
• Better materials
• Longer-lasting
• Fewer repairs

7. Importance of Hiring a Local Contractor in 
Alaska
Every so often, a big company from Anchorage will get a job, or even a contractor from 
outside Alaska, and it will work out. But it’s rare.
Getting a local contractor is always better for several reasons:
Local contractors understand the land
• They understand frost levels, drainage issues, soil issues, snow loads, and drainage 
problems.
Building codes are different everywhere.
• They get to know them and keep them in their mind. They stay up to date on all the 
changes.
Season construction is short up here.
• It's even shorter if weather delays are in the forecast. Outsiders don't get it.
It's great if your contractor is around after the building is done.
• You can always call us if something needs attention.
