About Foundation and Crawl Space Repair of Alaska

Company History & Founder

Founder: Steve Burak

At an early age, Foundation and Crawl Space Repair of Alaska's founder, Steve Burak, started working in construction with his father, Walt Burak. Steve would enthusiastically tear off old roof coverings and pound nails to help his father remodel home exteriors. From his father, Steve learned the importance of "doing a job right, doing a job once!"

Steve and his wife Nadine's journey in home improvement over more than two decades has included owning and running a local ABC Seamless business before opening Foundation and Crawl Space Repair of Alaska. From day one, their mission has been to do the job right the first time, satisfying their customers and wowing them!

Steve surrendered his earthly body to rest in peace on June 16, 2023, after a courageous 14-month battle with cancer. Steve will forever be missed and honored at Foundation and Crawl Space Repair of Alaska, and his legacy continues with the new owner, Larry Janesky.

Foundation and Crawl Space Repair of Alaska shares common leadership with sister company Foundation and Crawl Space Repair of Idaho. Local management, sales, and production teams in Alaska provide custom repair solutions and quality service from start to finish.
