“There are not enough words to express our sincere gratitude to Josh and his crew for building our custom dream home. From the beginning of the design stage to the end of the punch-list, and everywhere in between, we were impressed with the integrity, professionalism, perfectionism, and friendliness of each member of WillowRidge and its subcontractors. We were able to stay on budget, thanks to good design and planning prior to breaking ground. Josh was able to keep us on schedule and we moved in on the date he told us a year prior! Each of our ideas became reality with the help of Josh guiding us in the process, sometimes suggesting improvements or alternatives, but each time making our ideas turn into much more than what we had envisioned. If you like stonework, built-ins, high end finish work, quality materials, and detail-oriented work you should consider WillowRidge for your project. If we were to build another home, we would use WilliowRidge in a heartbeat, however they already built us our forever dream home, and we have no intentions of leaving it!”

“As a long time business owner and commercial developer, I have worked on many construction projects over the years. After my wife and I purchased a lot in Girdwood, we watched WillowRidge build a custom home across the street. Many interviews later, it was obvious that the owner Josh Sundstrom and WillowRidge were a great fit for us. As our home was built, we were impressed with the professionalism and integrity the entire staff maintained throughout the project. Josh and his team helped my wife and I build a home filled with heart and creativity that I believe is unique to WillowRidge. I would definitely build with Josh again — he made a complex process enjoyable, built a beautiful home, and completely stands by his work.”

“We would like to extend our sincerest thanks for a job well done to every person at WillowRidge Construction who had a hand in our project. We had the unique experience of moving into the house next door while our home was being re-built, and we had the opportunity to see the WillowRidge crew on an almost daily basis. Everyone played an instrumental role in the building process, and we appreciated the respect and kindness you showed to us and our two children. The detail and beauty of the work is constantly talked about by anyone who steps foot in our home. We encountered a number of challenges along the way, but your problem-solving never failed us. Thank you Josh and Tim for the countless hours spent on our home and for your expertise in guiding us in our decisions!”

“We hired WillowRidge Construction for our kitchen remodel, and we couldn’t be happier!
Working with Josh, Tim, Matt, and the rest of the WillowRidge crew was a great experience.
They listened to our ideas, added some of their own (which was greatly appreciated) and we have a beautiful finished product. The communication, attention to detail, and professionalism of this company made all the difference. We would not hesitate to recommend WillowRidge Construction.”

“We have worked closely with WillowRidge Construction in the past several years on projects both large and small. The level of care, craft and attention to detail exhibited by Josh Sundstrom and his team is always outstanding. As architects we look for a builder who is excited about our designs, and takes joy in exceeding ours and client expectations. WillowRidge is the builder we trust for thoughtful collaboration, beautiful execution and with the resources to get the job done.”

“Character, Creativity and Craftsmanship.
From our very first meeting with Josh and Tim at the WillowRidge Construction offices, these three words have defined our relationship and their professionalism.
Our new home in Girdwood, Alaska exemplifies the WillowRidge dedication to quality, relationship, design creativity, and their commitment to excellence in craftsmanship, especially in their treatment of natural wood and stone elements.
We are enjoying the fruit of the back-and-forth dynamics of working together to bring our vision for a unique, welcoming, ‘family & friends’ space into reality.
We encourage you to contact WillowRidge if you are building in Alaska!!!”

“I am happy to provide a reference for Josh Sundstrom and Willow Ridge Construction LLC.

Afognak Native Corporation utilized WillowRidge Construction for recent renovation work in our newly constructed Alutiiq Center which is located on Arctic Blvd and 40th Avenue, in Anchorage. This is an occupied class “A” facility. All work was performed after normal business hours and we were extremely pleased with the quality, cleanliness, and attention to detail that Josh and his crew displayed on this project.

WillowRidge has also completed several projects for me personally and I would certainly rate the experience and the final product as “Excellent.” I have been involved in the construction industry in Alaska for 30 years and when someone asks me for a reference for a quality constructor, I send them Josh’s way. His pricing has been fair and reasonable, he has presented innovative solutions for potential cost savings during the pre-construction process, and he has delivered our projects on time and on budget.

For the reasons stated above, I would not hesitate to recommend WillowRidge Construction for your quality home and commercial construction needs.”

“I am so very happy that I chose WillowRidge Construction. From the point when Josh and Tim designed and conceptualized the renovation, to when Tyler managed it into a reality, they each worked with me on the constraints that were presented and respectfully addressed all of my concerns. One key aspect of WillowRidge Construction’s success and perhaps why I recommend them so highly is that the staff, crews, and subcontractors are held to a high standard but are equally respected and supported by Josh and Tim. I witnessed this every day the crews were in my home and it is evident in the final product. The look and feel of my space is more than I expected and what’s most important to me, I am absolutely confident in the quality of the project and the workmanship. To the crew at WillowRidge, especially Tyler, Josh, and Tim, I would like express my heartfelt appreciation for all that was done to renovate my home.”

“My wife and I built a custom home with WillowRidge construction in 2013. We entered the project with some degree of trepidation given the common horror stories one hears when dealing with general contractors. However, our experience with Josh and Tim was much to our delight a pleasurable one. They are a knowledgeable and hardworking team, who pride themselves in the projects they undertake. The proposed and actual budget and timeline were met within 10% of predicted which is something that a lot of home builders cannot say at the end of their projects. Above all, both Tim and Josh are extremely trustworthy individuals, a quality that is absolutely essential when it comes to having a functional relationship between builder and client. I have and will continue to highly recommend WillowRidge to friends and family interested in new home builds and significant remodeling projects.”

“It has been a complete pleasure working with Josh, Tim, Tyler, and the crew at WillowRidge. They have helped us be creative, functional, and budget-conscious during a complete remodel of a vacation property. True professionals and fun to work with.

When we were trying to choose a new stair railing, not only did they show us drawings, they built a mock-up for us to see and touch. Amazing! If I could give them 10 stars, I would!”

“WillowRidge built a custom home for our family on the hillside and they did an absolutely stunning job. We had spent months designing the home with Architect Catherine Call and were looking for just the right contractor to take our design and make it a reality. WillowRidge came highly rated and we found out why. They take great pride in using the highest quality materials combined with some of the best craftsmen in the industry. WillowRidge is run by people of honesty and integrity and it is a huge relief to be able to fully trust the contractor that is building and managing potentially the largest expenditure in your life!

I was also impressed by the design capability of WillowRidge. There were a few details in our home that WillowRidge was able to design on the spot with multiple options and patiently worked with us to put just the right finishing touches on our dream home.

We highly recommend WillowRidge Construction and would love to work with them again in the future.”

“Mr. Josh and Mr. Tim are so cool! ”

“Josh and crew have finished 2 projects for us this summer - wall to wall and floor to ceiling lighted bookcases in our basement, and an expansion of our office and main bedroom to add a fireplace in the bedroom which netted us an additional closed storage room under the deck. We couldn’t be happier with the quality of the work, or the skill and courtesy of the crew. From the excavators to the installation of the flooring, each person was professional and completed the work with care. We are so pleased with their work we have an additional project in our basement that we are currently scheduling. I can HIGHLY recommend WillowRidge Construction Company for jobs large and small.”

“WillowRidge Construction is hands down the best construction team around!! I couldn’t be happier with their product, expertise, and willingness to listen to my thoughts throughout the process. This team of contractors works wonderfully together. Everyone on the job site knew exactly what they were doing. The team provided a schedule of what would be done and executed the work in a professional manner. Additionally, they had a timeline that I could follow. The house that they built is beautiful! I can’t say enough about their professionalism. The end result is a unique and beautiful home. We could not be happier!!!”

“From our introductory meeting through the completion of our home, owner Josh Sundstrom of WillowRidge Construction was attentive, accessible, skilled, knowledgeable, and filled with the ability to carry out the artistic design that I had envisioned. The team at WillowRidge, from the office staff to the construction site crew, were all professional as well as personally interested in the project. Each member took pride in the quality of their work. Together we ended up with an awesome home filled with grandkids, friends and an exceptional friendship with the team at WillowRidge Construction. Well done WillowRidge!”

“Josh Sundstrom, and WillowRidge Construction built my house in 2010. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. From start to finish he and his employees were fantastic to work with. The whole project went according to plan and finished on schedule. This was the first house I’ve had built and Josh and his crew were patient with the many questions I had about anything and everything (I probably wouldn’t have been as patient!). You can tell that building is a personal experience for Josh and it shows in the end results. His input was useful and relevant and it greatly improved the finished house. The people working for him were empowered and efficient and great to work with. If you have any questions about building a house with Josh and WillowRidge please contact me.”

“Selecting a home builder with integrity is fundamental to the success of building your dream home. Our involvement with Josh of WillowRidge Construction, proved to be an outstanding experience. It resulted in the home we have always wanted and developing a long-term relationship with Josh. The mark of a true professional is not how they conduct themselves when everything is working out, but how they conduct themselves during the inevitable adversity that occurs during the process. Josh exceeds that standard.”

“Josh Sundstrom is first and foremost a man of great character. I’ve enjoyed watching Josh balance well his commitments to a thriving business, and being a great husband and dad. His passion for excellent craftsmanship, combined with his extraordinary eye for detail make him one of the greatest in his field. I know you’ll enjoy your partnership with Josh.”

“We had our living room, kitchen, master bedroom, and bathroom plus a guest room gutted to the studs and redone. We are so happy with our home. We did move out for this extensive remodel. Whenever I was at the project site I felt very comfortable being around the crew. All were skilled, friendly, and efficient workers. The project stayed on schedule. Extra cost and time was amended into the schedule according to our own change orders. I recommend WillowRidge without hesitation. We plan on hiring them for phase two of our remodel.”

“We have known Josh for several years. During this time he worked on designing and finishing our basement, and designing and building our vacation home. We were so impressed with his knowledge, workmanship and honesty that we chose him to build our new dream home as well. We would recommend Josh to do any construction work, big or small, for a job well done!”

“Josh Sundstrom of WillowRidge Construction has proven himself over and over to me. He is a master craftsman of the utmost integrity. Josh has building skills and experience far beyond his years. This young, meticulous contractor is a man you can totally trust with your dream home.”

“We have used WillowRidge Construction on small house jobs and fairly large renovations. We found Josh through word-of-mouth and kept working with his company because of their high-quality work, and fairness, and they keep their word! Josh hires excellent people that value their workmanship, and they pay attention to detail. It’s an Alaskan company that enjoys their work and it shows in the final results.”

“WillowRidge Construction Company is by far the most professional, skilled, and trustworthy builder in Alaska. My wife and I had a great experience working with them. If you need help with a small project, or creating your dream job, they are the ones you want to work with.”

“My husband and I hired WillowRidge to build a timber-framed home for us. Josh, the owner, and all the supervisors, carpenters and laborers that we worked with were professional, more than competent, and truly nice people. We honestly enjoyed working with them and are very pleased with the result. I would hire them again without hesitation.”

“We purchased a home with a large 1,400 SF unfinished timber-frame room with minimal electrical, no plumbing, and no fireplace. After ruminating on what we wanted the space to include, Josh S. and Tim listened, designed, suggested, and reworked the areas that needed more attention. With Josh B. as on-site supervisor, the WillowRidge team of perfectionists delivered an absolutely stunning spare bedroom, glamorous bathroom, paneled billiards room, bar, and great-room with extensive fully custom cabinetry. The room is tied together with a stunning floor-to-ceiling fireplace on one end and a matching stone accent wall with a rustic framed window at the other end. Layers of lighting with beautiful fixtures, wide plank wood floors, and travertine tile areas complete the space. Ask and WillowRidge can deliver! (Now the rest of the house seems like we need to take it up a notch!)”

“WillowRidge built a front and back deck using Trex composite decking with cedar trim. Our decks are beautiful, and the team was amazing with every detail. They found a few concerns about our house foundation after removing our old decking, and replaced and repaired the damaged structure. They designed our decks to flow from the front to the back beautifully, and curved the front to match our landscaping. They also came on time or early each day, and left the property clean and organized each night. They started our job on the day they said and finished early. Thank you so much WillowRidge, and we hope to use you this summer for some inside remodeling!!!”

“WillowRidge Construction has our full endorsement as a superior custom home builder. After our first meeting with Josh Sundstrom we knew immediately his firm was the one to build our dream home. It was clear that he is passionate about his work. Josh was intimately involved in every aspect of planning and design. Before the project even started, Josh made several trips to the acreage we intended to purchase providing guidance on the placement of the house on the lot, ensuring there were no issues that would limit us with the build. He even had his excavator come out to dig several holes to verify the soils were good.

Josh worked closely with our architect from the very beginning, which we believe was key in achieving our beautiful, classic, and timeless home. Josh is an expert craftsman. He is honest, forthright, and accessible. He and his crew are true craftsmen, and their work is of the highest quality. We heard from others that WillowRidge hires excellent sub-contractors. We could not agree more. At every stage of the project, we knew the best and most skilled people were working on our home. That makes a huge difference. We are so happy we chose WillowRidge Construction. We recommend them with the highest marks!”

“We hired the WillowRidge team to add an addition to our home. We had a local architect design the addition and WillowRidge build it. Josh was very involved with the project and always had time for questions from me. He was also very responsive to issues in the design which arose which required changes as we were building. He worked through design issues with us to come to a good resolution. The finish work was well done. The project was close to on time and slightly above estimate. I appreciate the collaborative relationship we had with Josh and WillowRidge. I have no hesitation to (and have) recommended WillowRidge to friends.”

“WillowRidge displayed their superb workmanship and organization when remodeling our kitchen which was a very original design that posed many challenges. They also replaced all our windows, siding and more. After the process began we quickly determined that there was no way a sink could be placed in the island without compromising the workspace. WillowRidge worked with us to figure out how to put the sink at the island’s end as an apron/pedestal sink and create an extra cabinet! Tyler, the project lead, designed a beautiful connector between the bar and the island top. Everyone who worked with us was organized, respectful of our home, on time, and listened carefully to what we wanted. I’m especially grateful for their outstanding workmanship. We would certainly be happy to work with WillowRidge again.”

“We were very happy with the crew and the work which was done! Very professional, high quality, dependable. The workspaces were kept exceptionally clean, our interaction with all involved in the project was professional, pleasant, and timely. We did a major remodel and repair following the earthquake of late 2018. Due to the scope of the project it spanned several months. The team worked with us to make sure that our needs were met, and that we were able to work around this massive project in phases. The team made sure to coordinate all phases and to coordinate with all subs and deliveries. They were wonderful!! Also, very creative ideas and solutions as needed! We would definitely use WillowRidge again.”

“I worked with WillowRidge Construction on my home addition. To say that their work is superior in quality and design is an understatement. Their professionalism is unmatched in home building. I never doubted their efforts to create for me and my family a home that we could enjoy for years to come. Their craftsmanship, design, and skill creates a home that is warm, inviting and deserves to be showcased. Josh and his crew are honest, kind and hard working. We are very happy with our choice!”

“We had a great experience building our home with WillowRidge. They are responsive, honest to a fault, and put a premium on craftsmanship.”

“Meticulous attention to detail. Organized and precise. Unparalleled work ethic.

The phrase: “they don’t build them like they used to” is generally associated to the poor quality of so many things we interact with today. It’s a phrase that draws to mind the craftsmen of an old world who spent their life’s work perfecting the details no one else would see.
If you’re the kind of person who will not settle for anything shy of perfect and share the same obsession for immaculate work of extraordinary quality, WillowRidge will not miss the mark.”

“I’ve worked with Josh and his crew many times over the years. He is a first rate contractor. He is very good at coming up with ideas to fit the client’s needs and then turning them into the real product. He is also a master craftsman with intricate wood trim details if that is desired. Very professional and great to work with. Can’t recommend this company enough.”

“I first met Josh Sundstrom, and his general manager at the time, when my wife and I were considering a limited remodel of our second home in Girdwood. We felt comfortable with their approach to our project from the outset. Josh is clearly the driving force behind the culture at WillowRidge Construction: he understands the trades, thinks outside of the box, is creative in his use of materials, and imparts his same positive attitude to downline employees.

Our project involved uncovering areas of the structure that required repairs beyond the original scope. In every case, the WillowRidge team developed a solution that was sound and sensitive to the added costs. Some of the design elements of the remodel weren’t completely defined by my wife and I before connecting with WillowRidge; Josh regularly identified approaches that were innovative, durable and aesthetically pleasing. The quality of the additions to our home were excellent in every respect.

You may find a contractor at a lower price, but I can confidently say that the craftsmanship and appearance of the work performed by WillowRidge meets or exceeds anything out there. Josh and his team are honorable, trustworthy and driven to provide a unique finished product of which you can be proud. My buck stops there.”

“WillowRidge Construction is a quality, professional, friendly, company to work with. Josh and his entire team are true craftsmen. Attention to detail and follow-through are what you will be able to count on.
WillowRidge worked to get a few things repaired and completed in a house that we sold in 2019.
We are now entering the design stage to build a new home with Josh and his team. We are looking forward to the entire process!”

“WillowRidge folks were great to work with. Super honest and took a lot of pride in their work. I would recommend them without hesitation.”

“Josh and the whole team at WillowRidge are the best in the business. They’ve done multiple remodel projects for us on our home in Anchorage and built a new cabin for us in Girdwood. I wouldn’t think of going anywhere else for my next project.”

“The WillowRidge Team was so professional and accommodating! So pleased with the service I received!”
