I'm so impressed by owner Rob Staveland and his professional, friendly crew and staff, and their commitment to quality green building (since 1992). > > As a photographer, I've documented Aiki Homes projects at every stage of construction, and gone into the lived-in, custom homes of happy clients, who want to share the beauty and craftsmanship of their homes. The scope and quality of work is amazing, from finely detailed carpentry and tile work, to a project I recently shot, featuring a massive foundation anchored at the edge of a 50 foot waterfall! With over 45 years of sustainable building, Aiki Homes does it all (and very well). Highly recommended! **★★★★★ — Ron Reimer, Aug. 2017** > As an excavation contractor who can handle complex terrain, I love working with Rob Staveland & Aiki crew. They are very good with their site layouts and interaction with us. Because of their ability to think on their feet I have watched them save 1000's for their clients. > We have also observed by far the lowest number of complaints or call backs because of their attention to detail. > Old school craftsman culture while being at the front of design trends. **★★★★★ — pinktug, July 2014** > Rob has many many years of experience and an interest in green building that all comes together as well-designed spaces. ## Selected projects - [2022 Fairhaven Hillside Custom Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2022-fairhaven-hillside-custom-home-pj-vj~6721778) - Location: Bellingham, WA - Photos: 22 - Description: This current new custom home project, nestled in the woods of Fairhaven, Washington, is well underway.

This house was built in 2011, and as such it is difficult to say whether or not the paint is still in production. Also, it's difficult to say if it is a good exterior paint for your location. A method to try would be to take this picture to a paint store and get them to paint match the color. This way, they can educate you on the different types of exterior paint for your specific project and get you the best fit. Good luck to you from the Aiki Homes team! **Q: plank sizing** *(in Photo Questions)* what width are the lower hardie board planks and the upper? or are they the same size? thanks A: Hi Meghan! We recall 7" to be the width for upper and lower on this home. Cheers! Mary Staveland and the Aiki Homes team --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-16.*
