“Larry was very thorough and did a fantastic job inspecting my home. I am now able to make the repairs needed because he put it on the report. He also took pictures showing the issues which was also very helpful!”

A Builder’s Perspective
What a Builder Sees That Others Miss
Most inspectors can identify a problem.
Larry McBain understands why it happened.
With more than 38 years of construction experience in Alaska and decades as a general contractor, Larry brings a builder’s perspective to every inspection. That means looking beyond surface-level observations to understand how a home was built, how Alaska’s environment affects it, and what today’s issues could mean years from now.
Permafrost Movement & Frost Heave
Structural Settling & Foundation Concerns
Moisture Intrusion & Water Management
Freeze-Related Damage
Crawlspace & Ventilation Issues
Roofing & Snow Load Considerations
When you’re making one of the largest investments of your life, you deserve more than a checklist.
You deserve an experienced Alaska builder who can help you understand the true condition of a property and identify concerns before they become costly surprises.

Serious findings are a normal part of inspections and frequently become negotiation leverage rather than deal-killers. Larry's report uses severity coding (critical / monitor / acceptable) so you know exactly what to negotiate, what to repair after closing, and what is purely cosmetic.
A typical Anchorage home inspection takes 2.5–4 hours depending on the size and age of the property. You are welcome — and encouraged — to attend so Larry can walk findings with you on-site in plain language.
