United Builders - Fairbanks, Alaska

Christy McMillan

United Builders installed my new countertops along with getting all the countertops leveled and ready for install. The level of customer service and accommodating schedule surpassed my expectations. They were able to get the counter tops installed with less than ideal weather conditions and made my dream kitchen come to a reality. I highly recommend their knowledge and expertise that made my finished kitchen something that will last a lifetime. Thank you again for a job well done!

United Builders finished some interior work for us on our family’s cabin. They were professional, honest and they did fantastic interior work. In addition, they kept the work area clean! They were quick to respond with any questions we had about the status of the project and were flexible if we needed to make changes. In the future, we will definitely consider them for projects. And, we will certainly recommend them to friends and family!

After many calls to home builders in Fairbanks, NOBODY was interested in doing my project. Sam at United Builders was the only person who would come out and give me an estimate. From beginning to end, Sam made me feel like I was his only customer. After a long summer of tireless dedication and hard work, I now have a massive, beautiful new shop and built-in luxury apartment, all thanks to United Builders. My son and I are living the Alaskan dream. UB’s quality of work is impeccable with remarkable attention to detail. They were always able to accommodate my requests and very receptive to my design ideas. Excellent communication was maintained throughout the entire process. I highly recommend this organization without hesitation. I will be calling on them again for any future building projects that I might need.

Last summer we had United Builders come measure and install new windows in our cabin. We traded out a smaller kitchen window and installed two larger windows in our vaulted living area.

We were very happy with not only the price of the windows, but also the quality of both the windows and the labor it took to make the changes. The windows all look wonderful and have brightened our winter days and moon filled nights.

I’m arranging to get the team back to install two more windows next to those beautiful picture windows I’ve been enjoying all winter. You can’t go wrong with this team!

my home was renovated by Sam and his crew from an abandoned house to the beautiful home we have now. The work to make the place livable was significant. My only complaint when we bought our home were 2 of the outside doors were not insulated enough for the arctic conditions here, and the same complaint about 5 of the windows. They were serviceable but not very energy efficient. This past summer I contracted with Sam and United Builders to replace the doors and windows with high efficiency windows and doors I wanted. The work was well done. the cost was just and reasonable. The savings by contracting with United Builders was significant. If you live anywhere from Fairbanks to to Anderson and they can get to you with their trucks, you will not find a more honest and competent construction company. They are experts in what they do and will save you money.

This company put in a new kitchen for me and it was a dream. Highlights of their work are: responsive. They were easy to contact and hear back from. They kept me current on all happenings. They kept to their timeline. They are friendly and easy to work with. The quality of their work was top notch. So here in Fairbanks having top quality work, friendly customer service was great.

Sam and his brothers built a granny flat (we call it a Nonna Cottage) from the ground up, and it is beautiful. Despite getting much more rain than we had expected, they got the job done and were very responsive to every request. They even helped out with the main house when an angle stop began leaking and I was unable to find a plumber that could make the repair in a timely manner. Highly recommend!

I would give minus points for the "United Builders." This is a family-owned (Mother and sons) and operated business. You might want to read my experience before you consider hiring these guys.

I hired "United Builders" based on their professional-appealing internet web page and that they are people with faith. They even helped to find the land since I live in Oregon.

Our contract was established on June 8th, 2021, and I paid $87,386.58 cash- As a registered nurse, I saved up for this forever home to work part-time at home. I made 9 payments, $ 9,709.62 each, $84, 150 total. However, after the 9th payment, one of the brothers (the older one) was searching for cheaper materials for the house. For example, one day, he walked around the local stores, taking pictures of the gray metal roof and sending me 3 gray metal roof samples, even though we decided on the colored metal roof at the beginning of the contract. He insisted that there was no price difference. But I found out that the colored metal roof is always more expensive.

There were more similar examples. I was getting concerned, so I asked him/them to be honest via email. He/they broke the contract (house is about 45% done) right after he/they read my email. I request them to return my down payment since he/they broke the contract for their/his own convenience. They refused. Instead, they covered my roof with plastic stuff and asked for almost $23,000- what thieves! After they broke the contract, I learned more disturbing things- they exposed my land so much that my property is at risk for mudslide - there is a neighbors house downhill. I never permitted them to disturb my land in such way- by cutting so many trees and removing roots. Also, they never informed me about it, so I never knew. I had to find out on my own. The house is not built appropriately. An inspector told me that a lot of improvement needs to be done on the house.

The "United Builders" are very dishonest, incompetent, and scary people. The older one assured me that he would build my house close to the main road so I wouldn't pay any money bringing electricity into my property. It turned out he built my house too far downhill, GVEA charged me $3,010.

I've been asking them for my "house plan," but they failed to provide it. So it only means two things: they built my house without the plan, or the plan is so terrible that they cannot even show it to me.

"United Builders" are made out of a prominent family in Nenana, Fairbanks, Alaska. One of them is the current Mayor of Nenana, and the other one ran for the House Representative in 2020. However, no one is above the law. Stand by for updates.
