Every job starts with a conversation. You share the vision—I’ll handle the planning, permits, and precision to bring it to life.
– Our Services
Deck Design & Construction
I build durable, beautiful decks using treated lumber, cedar, composite materials like Trex, and more. Whether it’s a small front step or a multi-level backyard hangout, every deck is designed to handle Alaska’s climate—and fit the way you live.
Fences
From classic wood to chain-link, I install fences that are tough, straight, and built to last. Whether it’s for privacy, pets, or curb appeal, I handle the layout, posts, and precision start to finish.
Pile Driving
Need a rock-solid foundation? I drive steel piles deep for decks, docks, sheds, cabins, and small structures. It’s the go-to solution for Alaska’s shifting soils, wetlands, and permafrost—because sinking foundations are not a vibe.
Sheds, Greenhouses & more...
I build custom sheds, greenhouses, and small outdoor structures for just about anything—storage, gardening, gear, or extra space. Every build is designed to handle Alaska’s wild weather and fit your property just right.
Rich did an amazing job on our fence and deck. We have received multiple compliments on how well it looks. Rich listened to us and made our dream come true. Not only is he a master at his craft but he also offered great advice for our other projects we have planned at our house. Aspen construction is a great company with fair prices. I would recommend Aspen Construction to anyone who needs a fence or deck built.
*Update* Day two of this severe wind storm and not one piece of fence has flown away. Highly recommend Rich to build your fence!

We couldn’t be any more satisfied with Rich and his team and the fence that they recently did for us. Rich was extremely professional, very timely with response to any and all questions that we had during the project and he left us with a high quality, stunning fenced in yard.
There is no doubt that these guys have what it takes to make your project dreams a reality. Thanks guys!!

We couldn't be happier with the experience we had working with Aspen Construction and Rich Harris. We had a major project to complete from out of state, and the idea of managing it remotely felt overwhelming—until Rich stepped in. He guided us through every step of the process, kept us updated consistently, and made sure no detail was overlooked. The communication was top-notch, the craftsmanship was excellent, and the level of care he brought to the job was something you just don’t see every day. We felt completely confident the entire time, and the finished result speaks for itself. Five stars isn’t enough.

On April 4th I had Aspen Construction come to give me a quote on a very small fence repair and to move a shed they were so kind and reasonable and I’m so thankful. Thank you
