Structural Retaining Wall Codes in Anchorage, AK: What You Need to Know
Building a retaining wall in Anchorage means following specific codes and regulations to ensure safety and stability. Your retaining wall must handle soil pressure, drainage, and freeze-thaw cycles common in Alaska. Local building codes often require engineered designs for walls over a certain height, along with proper drainage systems to prevent water buildup behind the wall. Permits may also be necessary depending on your property and the wall's location. We have years of experience working with Anchorage regulations and can guide you through the entire process. From initial design to final inspection, we make sure your retaining wall project meets all requirements and stands strong for years to come.
Top Manufactured Stone Styles: Ledgestone, Fieldstone, and River Rock
Manufactured stone gives you the look of natural stone without the heavy weight or high cost. Ledgestone offers clean horizontal lines that work well on modern homes, while fieldstone delivers a rustic, traditional appearance perfect for cabins or country-style properties. River rock brings smooth, rounded shapes that add a soft, natural feel to any exterior. Each style comes in a variety of colors, so you can match your home's existing palette or create a bold new look. We work with premium brands to ensure your stone veneer looks authentic and lasts for decades. Whether you want to update your entire facade or add an accent wall, we can show you samples and help you choose the perfect style for your home.
Our Process
We make working with us easy and stress-free. From your first call to the final cleanup, we keep you informed every step of the way. Here is what to expect when you choose AKM Anchorage Masonry for your project.
On-Site Consultation and Assessment
We start by visiting your property to see exactly what you need. During this free consultation, we examine the condition of your existing masonry, take measurements, and discuss your goals for the project. You can ask questions, share ideas, and get honest feedback about what will work best for your home and budget. We listen carefully to what you want and explain your options in plain language. This first step helps us understand your vision and allows us to provide an accurate estimate. There is no pressure and no obligation. We are here to give you the information you need to make the right decision.

We focus on repairs that boost curb appeal and address any red flags that might show up in a home inspection. Our work helps you get top dollar for your property and closes deals faster.

Many agents keep our number on hand because they know we deliver reliable results that help their clients succeed.
Chimney Repair or Rebuild? Assessing Structural Leaning and Tilt
A leaning chimney is more than just an eyesore. It signals serious structural problems that need immediate attention. Over time, shifting soil, foundation settlement, or freeze-thaw cycles can cause your chimney to tilt away from your home. If the lean is minor, targeted repairs may be enough to stabilize it and prevent further movement. However, a significant tilt often means a full rebuild is necessary to ensure safety. We carefully assess the condition of your chimney, checking for cracks, loose bricks, and foundation issues. Our honest evaluation helps you understand whether repair or rebuilding is the right choice. Either way, we make sure your chimney is safe, solid, and ready to handle Alaska winters for years to come.
Routine Chimney Inspections: Preventing Carbon Monoxide Leaks
Your chimney does more than vent smoke. It also removes dangerous carbon monoxide from your home. A damaged chimney liner, cracks in the masonry, or a blocked flue can allow this deadly gas to seep back inside. Regular inspections catch these problems before they become life-threatening hazards. We check your chimney from top to bottom, looking for signs of wear, blockages, and structural damage. Our thorough assessment includes the chimney crown, flashing, flue liner, and mortar joints. If we find any issues, we explain what needs to be fixed and why it matters for your safety. Do not wait until you have a problem. Schedule a routine inspection to protect your family and keep your chimney functioning properly all year long.
Upfront Estimates, Honest Assessments & No Sales Pressure
We believe in transparency from the very beginning. When you contact us for an estimate, we provide clear pricing and honest advice about what your project really needs. There are no hidden fees, no surprise charges, and no pressure to make a quick decision. We take the time to explain your options and help you understand the best path forward for your home and budget. If a repair is not urgent, we tell you. If a full replacement makes more sense than a patch job, we explain why. Our goal is to earn your trust by being straightforward and respectful. You deserve a contractor who values honesty and delivers on promises. That is exactly what you get when you work with us.
