"I am writing this review to alert anyone using Briley Contracting/Construction for any work to reconsider their decision based upon my personal experience and a legal action against them based on a fire I had in December, 2023.. I can prove everything claimed in this review. Here's what you can expect after signing a contract with Roy Briley and discussing your project with them outlining what you want. They will agree to everythin; the sky’s the limit. Then the game begins. The first thing Briley will do is pressure you to to surrender all the money the insurance company allocates for your job (if it is an insurance job) directly to them. Do NOT do it; keep the funds in a separate account specifically for your project and pay for the work as you go AFTER you confirm the work was actually done and completed according to industry standards in a professional manner. If you don't, you will lose any leverage you have later if something goes wrong. Your money will be gone. Briley’s owner and key employees are in on the scam, willingly and actively participating in the crimes they devise to extort money from their customers; I believe this is considered racketeering which, from my understanding of the definition, are coordinated efforts by multiple people in an organization that typically use fraud, extortion, threats, and intimidation to repeatedly earn a commercial profit. They will tell you a date when it will be completed. It won't be. I was told I would be back in my house in 7 months; I have been stuck in a hotel for 19 months now. Work will start (eventually) but then it will stop often for months at a time. They will come and spend a couple of hours and then go to another job. They often go several weeks or months without even entering the premises. This was the case with me; 7 months and nothing inside was completed. The only work attempted was painting, drywall and paneling and it was a disaster, it looked horrendous, and they also punched holes in my walls that did not exist before. I fired them in August. Absolutely no remodeling work was ever completed. I came in after the firing and am completing the job myself. Immediately after I received 3 final invoices that varied by $31,000 between the three of them. He claimed he did 80% of the entire remodel. I asked which invoice was valid. He responded with a fourth one that was higher yet and started demanding payment again. I told him I wanted a breakdown of the charges, but they refused claiming it was proprietary. I told him I would happily and promptly pay them after I understood what I was being charged for. Had I turned over my insurance check they would have laughed all the way to the bank, but they were thwarted because I had leverage, having personally held the money from the insurance company myself, to fight back. To intimidate me further they demanded full payment for mitigation and storage after he was fired and held all of my personal property hostage where I could not access it for months. I consider that theft. Right after that he slapped a significant lien on my home for work he claimed he did. I asked for a breakdown of the charges. They refused and filed a full-blown lawsuit against me asking the court to order that my house be auctioned off so he could be paid. This company did nothing to earn what they were lying about in their perjurious claims to the court. I have/ am still being harassed, intimidated, threatened, frightened and pressured to pay. Now he ratcheting it up even more through unnecessary litigation in which Briley make perjurious claims to the court and do not follow statutory law relative to the process.. The cases are on Courtview. Briley's Mode of Operation is to choose an easy mark, promise them the moon, and get them to sign their contract. Then they blow you off and do what they want when they want. When you've had enough and fire them, they will threaten, badger and intimidate you like they have me, and then slap a lien on your house. If that doesn't work they file a lawsuit asking the court to auction your house off and give them the proceeds destroying your life, family, finances and mental health. Then the lawsuit gets calendared by the court. Briley's plan at that point is to delay the court action until you get so stressed and frustrated that you throw up your hands and cave, or run out of money so you can't pay your attorney anymore allowing Briley to take the property completely destroying their lives. The impact on so many people means nothing to Briley. Other people’s nightmares with Briley parallel my experiences almost to the letter. I am a 72-year-old single elderly woman Briley wants to force me to leave my home of 27 years and live homeless on the streets of Anchorage as soon as he can force it. I don’t want anyone to have the same experiences I am having and would be interested to hear from anyone having similar experiences with Briley."

Northwest design and build offers a variety of services. As a general contractor we can do whatever work is needed. Quality work and customer satisfaction is the most important to us. We are operating in areas of the valley and Anchorage Alaska.
"We chose Northwest Design to work with when we built our new home last summer. Clayton and his team were professional, courteous and very responsive to any requests or design elements we asked for. I cannot say enough about how great it was to work with them. Our house turned out amazing and I’m still so thrilled with every aspect of our home. And one thing of note I really want to emphasize is how incredibly on schedule the build was. The only delays we had were delivery issues which were completely out of everyone’s control. I cannot recommend this design company enough! Don’t hesitate, just hire them. They will get the job done and done right!"

Yes, poison ivy can be dangerous. If you’re sensitive to urushiol—the oil in every part of the plant—just brushing against a vine can spark a painful rash, swelling, and even breathing trouble. Because the oil lingers on tools, clothes, and pet fur, you’ll need full protective gear and careful disposal. Most homeowners find it safer to let a pro handle removal so the plant (and its irritating oil) are gone for good.
Poison ivy grows across the continental United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii. It flourishes along woodland edges, near sidewalks, and in disturbed areas that receive direct sunlight. The plant spreads widely through diverse climates and environments, so homeowners must monitor its presence and pursue professional removal immediately when infestation is detected.
Your landscaping pro will pull every root you can reach, then follow up with a strong, targeted herbicide to hit anything they missed. Check the spot every few weeks and have your pro repeat treatments until no new shoots appear. Pairing hand work with chemicals is the surest way to keep the vine from sneaking back into your yard.
Yes, pet-safe poison ivy killers are available that protect both pets and children when the product dries completely. Homeowners should consult with their contractor to select a formula that is guaranteed to be free of harmful chemicals. Using these products ensures that the removal process poses no additional risks to your pets or family.
