gypcrete

Infloor heat is a great way to heat a new home. During installation, the tubes are first stapled to the subfloor. The appropriate spacing is engineered for maximum heat value. These tubes are nine inches apart.
You can walk on the gypcrete just 2 hours after pouring. It takes 10 days or so to completely dry.

new fireplace

Paulette is another satisfied North Country Builders client. We have done many home improvement projects for her including adding insulation, installing a new furnace, new on-demand water heater, roof repair, and a complete bathroom remodel. Pictured here are before and after photos of this summer's project... a new fireplace.

shop complete

Scott & Andria hired North Country Builders for the third time to design and build Scott's dream shop. (NCB also remodeled their basement, constucted a deck & an entry addition) Scott's shop is every guy's dream... 1152 square feet of in-floor heat complete with a truck lift and lots of room to park Alaskan toys! Thank you for trusting us again, Scott & Andria!

Shop



These photos are of a 32x36 shop we are building for Scott & Andria on Fairview Loop. Scott & Andria's trust in our company is evident as this is the third project we have completed for them in the past 3 years! We also remodeled their basement, added an entry/porch, and constructed a 16x40 deck.

Katie.

Katie is North Country Builders' lead designer. She has worked with us for the past 3 years. Katie goes to school part-time and is seeking a degree in aeronautics. When she's not behind the computer or in the cockpit, you might find her cross-country skiing, playing softball or singing in her church choir. Give her a call and she'll help you design the addition or home of your dreams!

Dennis & Julie

Dennis & Julie invited us to build an addition onto their home. We added a kitchen & two bathrooms. Their home is at the foothills of the Talkeetna Mountains in a beautiful, quaint setting. Appliances will go in this week so they will soon be happily settled into their new home!

working on the website

The North Country Builders website is sadly outdated so we've been working on fixing that problem. Here are some detail shots I took at a jobsite this week. The guys thought I was crazy, but it was fun. Hopefully, the new site will be up & running in October. Watch for it:)

the house, not the truck

This struck Tom as funny as the tow truck hauled his truck away. It just doesn't seem to go together very well..."Built Better than it has to be", our motto for building, and a tow truck. Well, even good builders have truck problems. It's a good thing he can laugh about this site...:)

looking back a bit

Wes & Karen moved into their new home that we built this winter. They were a joy to work with throughout the entire building process. I recently did a photoshoot of their home & it was fun to see the house furnished as a "home."
