Deck remodels, stairs, trim and built-ins — engineered and built by the owner. Serving homeowners in Ankeny, Johnston, Granger and across Northern Polk County.
Why Alpine
We put our customers first and really get what they need — delivering great service and making sure everyone feels valued every step of the way.
Owned and operated by an Iowa State Construction Engineering graduate. Every project is assessed structurally — not just cosmetically.
One fixed, written price before work starts — no hourly meter, no surprise add-ons. You pay for work built to last, not for a sales team or a crew you never meet.
When you hire Alpine, the owner shows up to your job — every time. Your project gets the same care and attention as our own home.
Clear written estimates, defined scope, open communication, and no surprise charges. Every change is a signed change order before work begins.
Meet the Owner
Alpine Home Solutions is owned and operated by Karson Gifford, an Iowa State University Construction Engineering graduate based in Granger, Iowa. That background isn't just a credential — it means every project gets assessed structurally before a single nail goes in.
We're a solo operation on purpose. When you hire Alpine, you get the owner on your job — not a crew you've never met. Every estimate, every build, every conversation is handled personally.
Portfolio
Recent projects across Northern Polk County — deck remodels, stairs, finish carpentry and built-ins.
Every job starts with careful measurements and a clear plan before any cuts are made.
Precision cuts and quality framing — built to last through Iowa winters.
Doors set plumb, sealed and trimmed out as one package — including the rot repair most installers skip.
The details that separate a good renovation from a great one — precision every time.
Deck framing, exterior trim, and siding repairs built to handle the elements.
No subcrews you've never met. The person who quotes your project is the person who builds it.
