"Luzberto offered a very fair price to paint the exterior of our home. I am very pleased with the outcome. and would recommend him for business. He had his painter work with our schedule and can't say enough about our project. I will be calling him for inside painting next year."

"Jim, Steve, Clint and the rest of their crew were great. They would quickly respond to changes or fixes required to get the job done right. Finished product is everything I expected. After working with some flaky contractors in the past, Crestone was a refreshing group to do business with.

"A portion of the all-weather wood foundation had not been adequately supported with metal braced 2x6 studs by the previous homeowner, and over about 15 years' time, water, ice heaves and soil movement had caused the wood foundation walls to begin bowing inward into the crawlspace. This project included digging out around the pertaining foundation, removing warped plywood walls, repositioning supporting 2x6s and anchoring with metal hurricane ties, application of Bituthene water seal coating, replacing deteriorated curtain drain piping, back-filling with sewer rock and soil, and hauling away unused excavated soil. The area was about 15 linear feet in each direction from a 90 degree corner. The concrete footers were in good condition and needed no repair.
We had gotten an estimate from this company the previous year, in which they proposed additional extensive ditching to carry groundwater away from the foundation, but we felt the cost was prohibitive at that time.  With some modification of the project and a need to remedy a potential severe foundation problem, the work done was about $3,000 less than the earlier proposal. It was recommended that the work be done before the ground had completely thawed, to reduce the amount of ground water that might pool around the work area. It took about 12 days to complete the project, due to an unexpected 7 inch snowfall on May 18th and the coming of the 3-day Memorial Day holiday.
There were 2 men, and some days 3, working on the project. They were efficient and hard working, knowledgeable about what needed to be fixed, and did even more than we expected. They were friendly and forthcoming with answers to any of our questions. We did not feel the need to oversee every step of their work. The only non-positive comment I would make is that the project might have been finished a little sooner if they had begun each day's work a littler earlier. Most days they were not here until after 9:00 am and some days not until noon.
We were extremely satisfied with this company and would highly recommend the quality they provide in addressing a wood foundation problem.

FAQs for concrete work projects in Big Lake, AK

Figuring out how many bars you need isn’t a one-size-fits-all equation. A structural engineer or experienced concrete contractor will look at your slab’s thickness, the loads it must carry, and local code requirements, then run the numbers for you. That quick consultation protects your budget and keeps the finished slab safe, level, and up to code.

Match the metal to the job. For light, thin pours like a sidewalk, welded wire mesh often does the trick. Thicker slabs—driveways, garage floors, foundations—usually call for traditional steel bars. If your site sees salt, humidity, or coastal spray, spend the extra cash on galvanized or stainless steel to fend off rust and avoid future repairs. When in doubt, a concrete pro can confirm the best fit for your project and budget.

Stainless steel costs more up front, but the alloy can last 75 years or longer with little to no rust. That longevity means fewer repairs, less maintenance, and peace of mind for structures exposed to salt, moisture, or de-icing chemicals. If you’re pouring near the coast or in a humid climate, the extra dollars now can save you multiple replacements down the road.

An engineer will review the slab’s thickness, span, soil conditions, and expected loads, then specify bar size, spacing, and grade. Skipping that step or guessing can leave you with cracked concrete or a blown budget. For a modest consultation fee, a local engineer or contractor can do the math and hand you a rebar schedule that meets code and keeps your project on solid footing.
