Affordable housing is not just a buzzword, it’s a growing challenge that affects nearly every area of the country. Here in Alaska, the issue is especially urgent. From Anchorage to Fairbanks to the Kenai Peninsula, hardworking Alaskans are finding it more difficult than ever to purchase a home that fits their needs and budget.

A home should do more than just keep you warm. A home should reflect your values, fit your lifestyle and stand up to every Alaska season. That’s why at Polar Plank, we build 100% Alaska-made log homes using a patented system that blends traditional craftsmanship with modern efficiency.

Until recently, tariff wasn’t part of the everyday vocabulary of Americans. Unfortunately, it’s now a key part of the conversation that’s creating big headaches for homeowners and the homebuilding industry.

When it comes to surviving and thriving in Alaska, efficiency is everything. From layering gear for subzero temperatures to optimizing every gallon of fuel and every minute of daylight, Alaskans know how to do more with less.
