When we were looking to buy a house back in 2021 there was no thought of having a home built. A friend mentioned Hultquist Homes and we looked into it. Needless to say we chose to go with them to build our first house. The whole process was seemless and quite enjoyable working with the Hultquist team. we are very happy with the home and it will be a great memory building our first home with them. Thank you to the Hultquist team and their partner companies for making this dream come true.

We have worked with Hultquist Homes many times over the years and have been very impressed with their quality! Highly recommend if you are looking for a new home - seriously consider meeting with them to see how they can help you build your dream home.

I am a vendor of Hultquist but I want to share that in our professional relationship, I've had nothing but good experiences with their team. They have been responsive, professional, and competent in the projects we've worked on. They seem like they know how to have fun at work and also care about the work they do. I suspect this is consistent across their team, so I am happy to recommend them.

I’ve had two homes built by Hultquist and they will be my choice for our third home as well. The professionalism and attention to our families needs were second to none. Hultquist's subcontractors are lifelong tradesmen and do great work. I’ve enjoyed getting to know them.

Hultquist homes did an amazing job with my new house. They were courteous and professional. I would highly recommend them for any new construction job.

Hultquist has a lot of experience in Anchorage and we talked with several people who have had good experiences with them. We were a new construction and here's our experience:Pros: Hultquist is big and fast. They're a machine. For getting a house built quickly and getting you in place, they seem to be a good option. They've got an app that lets you follow the progress and communicate with the builder for streamlining the process once you've signed that notice to proceed. The company is impressive that way and they seem to know what they're doing there.They were fast with responding to questions and getting bids together. There was some lag just before the holidays but that's a normal thing everywhere.Cons: This speed and efficiency seems to come at a cost. For new constructions you have to work through Hultquist's realtor, Firebird, rather than dealing with them directly. We've done three major remodeling jobs (residential and commercial) and this was a first, having a team of realtors in the room rather than just working with the builder. *Edited to note -I've later found out that they have an option where you can work directly with the builders, but you have to specifically request that.Realtors' fees are 5% of costs on new constructions and while Hultquist pays this, it's part of their operating costs and as such gets rolled over into their prices I'd expect. That's how business works and it's fine. But realtors cost. A lot.There isn't a lot of transparency in the price. You receive a bid that is the entire cost of construction, which is great, but all that's broken down are the budgets you have for various things: foundation, driveway, windows, appliances, tile work, flooring, etc. But it doesn't include mechanical, plumbing, or electrical--and they won't tell you how much they're charging for the lot or what their mark up is. These are legitimate costs but you can't see all that you're paying for.There's no negotiation. The price is what it is. That's typical with new construction, but you pay a flat fee to work with their on-staff draftsman/architect and the process doesn't encourage collaboration if you want something custom. Any change to an existing plan, even taking out a bathroom, costs more rather than less. We were working on two different plans, trying to get one of them to the right budget. We had a bid on one then a bid on the second. They were willing to make changes on the second to help us get to a price we needed, but they pushed back when we looked at making changes on the first, saying that they'd charge us more and we needed to decide which to pursue. Sure, I get it. Time is money, but with the designer we had 90 min-2 hours total, broken into 2 meetings, which didn't feel like much if you want something outside of their catalog of plans. I think our expectations were a little high with this part of the process.All in all, I think they're a good option. But we ultimately decided to go with someone else.

Being a real estate agent, I get the pleasure of talking with builders and helping clients who are looking for new builds and Hultquist is one of the best. They are meticulous and quick with everything we need and I can't wait to work with them again!

I’ve been in my new Hultquist home for a little over a year now and have been very pleased with the purchase. Any issues that may have come up during the building process were quickly resolved. When I have a warranty request they have been quick to acknowledge my request and have fixed the problem.During the 7.0 earthquake only one small thing broke. No pictures fell and nothing came out of any of my cabinets. I have two curio cabinets full of crystal and other breakables and nothing in them broke. I can’t tell you have relieved I am to know that my Hultquist home was so well built. I feel safe living here.

I suppose Hultquist does build a structurally sound house. There were several problems with the house: The dishwasher was not connected to the drain. The home inspector did not catch this because the dishwaster was not plugged in and was bolted down and could not be tested. We didn't discover the problem until we tried to use the dishwater, which the flooded the area under the sink, damaging the cabinets and adjacent floor. A plumber was able to fix the leak, however, it has been over 1 month, and Hultquist has not repaired any of the damage.We also found that the balusters were not affixed properly. We found this out when my 3 year old pulled two of them away and was seconds from falling into the living room from the second floor.We are supposed to have stones placed on the exterior of the house as well, but were told that the stones were stuck in customs. They have been stuck in customs now for 2-3 months.Other issues we have found - transitions were supposed to be repaired, a crack in shower basin that was present before we closed on the house, non-functioning window locks and a garage door that has come detached from the motor are among the many items that Hultquist promises to repair but does not. I have hear nothing from them and my correspondence with them falls on deaf ears.I will give them 2 stars because superficially, the house is quite nice and spacious and was reasonably priced. However, the workmanship is shoddy and Hultquist does not seem at all interested in honoring their warranty so buyer beware.

If you’re looking to buy or build a new home, I highly recommend that you consider Hultquist Homes Inc. They’ve been building homes in Anchorage for over 30 years and have dozens of different floorplans to select from. The interior finishes are a step above their competition, with standard 8’ doors and custom trim work that really accent the interior look and feel of your home. From a friendly staff that there’s to help you through the planning and selection process, to site supervisors that take pride in ensuring your home is correctly assembled and beautifully finished, you will be glad that you gave them a call!

I have been very disappointed with my experience with Hultquist. I bought my home in January and I still had blue tape items that hadn't been taken care of until this week.There's so many little things that just show they don't care about quality. Molding that they didnt secure to anything because the brads missed, repair work that they used the wrong color to fix, all kinds of things. The list goes on, but I don't want to spend the time listing and you don't want to spend the time reading.Here's the worst part of it though - they lie. They just say whatever they feel like saying at the time. I've talked to neighbors who were given different information about what Hultquist could do and what they couldn't. Different information on what was available from them and what wasn't. And of course, what could be fixed and what couldn't. I will not recommend anyone buy a Hultquist home unless something changes significantly and they stop forcing people to go through their mortgage broker (who I actually thought did an amazing job for me, but the practice seems sleazy).I've given one star back because they finally started to make progress on getting things fixed and improving communication. I'll give more stars back if they continue to improve. But it'll take a lot before I recommend them.

Hultquist may build nice looking homes but the way they treat their employees is repulsive!! All the games and back stabbing and lies!! No wonder people keep complaining about the quality of the build and at the price I expected more!!

We recently purchased a new Hultquist home in Westpark and love it, the completed construction from this last winter got done as promised and the few follow up issues were addressed without issue. Joe was great in keeping us informed and we recommend anyone consider these folks.Joe & Sue

Hultquist quality speaks for itself but I want the great team there to know how impressed my clients were with their exceptional customer service throughout the process of building their new home. I wholeheartedly recommend Hultquist to all of my new construction clients!Brant

My husband and I worked with Hultquist Homes to design our dream home. Never been more satisfied with the quality and layout of a living space. Thank you for all of your help and quick response to questions and any concerns that we had!

Worked in a home built by Hulquist. Beautiful at a glance, look closer and in a brand new home for seniors, the floor is definitely poor quality. I hope nobody gets hurt by the small gaps in the floor.

We purchased a new home from Hultquist and they have been extremely helpful, honest, and have achieved every one of our remodel requests. I would recommend purchasing from Hultquist.

We could not be happier with our new condo in West Gate. We love the neighborhood, quality construction and how easy and convenient it has been to contact Hultquist with questions and /or concerns. We always receive a timely and friendly response!

For the price, you’d be better off to go literally anywhere else. Unless you want an entire house built with cardboard cabinets and trim.
