Strandberg Construction Inc

Simply stated, Strandberg Construction is the best. Somehow, at the end of my build, I feel I have a new family. Dare I say I would build from scratch again! But only with Strandberg Contruction!

We would highly recommend Strandberg Construction to build your house. This was our first such build and we had heard of many projects elsewhere that were delayed or not completed to the owner's satisfaction. We shopped around, called references, and Strandberg proved the easiest to work with during this budgeting phase. We designed two houses, but the first design had a lot of excavation costs and proved too expense. We rushed the second version through design and permitting and still started construction in June of 2020. We moved in 50 weeks later, even with a one month shut down due to new Covid 19 requirements. Strandberg proved easy to work with, they listened to our requests and came in on budget. Subcontractor quotes from over a year ago were still honored and did not go up in price. I do a lot of woodworking and they permitted me to build some projects into the house before and after move in. The whole project was stress free and we love the results.

We are satisfied customers and whole heartedly recommend Strandberg Construction and feel we would count them as friends.As enormous a task building a home is they were there for us all the way through with clear support and suggestions. Aimee, Vic, Steve, Erinn, Debbie, Leslie, Tyler, and Nels directed, coordinated, managed and led experienced trade groups through the design and build process. Great teamwork. We love the home they built for us. Our collaborative project included: early concept discussions design engineering development/details aesthetics design advice product sourcing/advice subcontractor selection, & management best-practices build execution & the concluding/important details of finishing, & landscaping All elements were handled respectfully and with skill & an eagerness to provide helpful service. The organization is professional, listens/communicates well, and operates with a strong daily work ethic delivering quality workmanship. Unanticipated surprises were minimized and those that did arise, were addressed openly, forthrightly, & fairly. And now that we are living in the house, Strandberg’s continuing relationship is supportive. Smart, rare, talented, & genuine. Steve and Carole Bleistein

We would highly recommend Strandberg Construction to anyone who wants to build a high-quality home. Nels has filled his company with the most professional people who all take great pride in their work. Nels led us to a unique lot that met all our needs. Aimee managed our project with calm expertise. She is very organized and always knows just how to get the answer to any question that comes up. She was also very helpful in selecting options which fit our taste and budget. Vic executed the build on site smoothly and precisely. He leads by example and is obviously respected by everyone on site. He insists on quality at every step. Issues came up, but they were handled promptly, respectfully, and professionally. Everyone was always very easy to work with, and they are still there for us now. Aimee and Vic are true professionals. After construction, Nels designed our landscaping and Cele did an excellent job of installing it. It has turned out even better than we had envisioned. Finally, Strandberg connected us with Piers at Sustainable Building Company, who designed and built a beautiful fence for us. High standards were employed by all involved throughout the build. Perfect scheduling, great communication, and quality workmanship were the norm. Thank you to everyone at Strandberg Construction! We love our new home!

Building our dream, retirement home was a great experience. Working with Strandberg Construction provided us with the confidence that this major investment of locating, designing and building our home would be completed in a way that met our personal goals. The level of support and personal attention from every member of Strandberg's staff, including Nels Strandberg, made the entire project very enjoyable. This was a major investment for us and we could not have found a more professional, competent and trustworthy company to build our new home. Vic, Aimee, Steve, Leslie and Erinn were all wonderful to work with this past year. In all of my years of working with developers and contractors, I have never run into a better builder than Strandberg Construction.

Excellent all the way, start to finish. This was our first time building a home, and the process is daunting, but with the Strandberg team every step of the way is super well organized. Contracts, scope of work documents, change order documents, billing documents...all updated and organized and at hand every step of the way. Wendy, the Project Manager, had a huge binder with every trivial detail at hand and guided, gently, the project in a good direction. The on-site Supervisor, Jeremy, was responsive to input and answered calls and emails promptly. We know, from friends, that this responsiveness to the customer, is not the norm with all builders, and this is what differentiates Strandberg from the local competition. During construction one could walk into any room and see spec sheets, drawings, hardware printouts stabled to the walls, assuring that ever single worker knew what the expectations were. The comment from our good friend who visited the site regularly and who has built hundreds of homes himself, sums it up: "This is really, really good construction and a first class job."

We love living in our dream house built by Strandberg Construction. Not only do we have an amazing view, but we’re living in a quality-built home. We were nervous about building a custom house, but the process could not have gone better. We felt from the start that we were in good hands. Aimee was an excellent project mgr—she kept us focused on the decisions to be made, provided honest feedback, managed last minute changes and facilitated any issues that arose with the subs. Once the build started, we were in the capable hands of Vic Palmer—-building superintendent extraordinaire. We were amazed by his attention to detail, problem solving skills, and innovative solutions to issues. He’s a busy man but was never too busy to stop and answer our questions. We don’t plan to build another house, but if we did, it would be built by Strandberg.

We had been looking for a builder in the Anacortes area, and decided upon Strandberg Construction after looking at a number of homes and developments. We were fascinated with the striking yet graceful, understated exteriors, and the main features that caught our attention were the large windows and how the homes were situated on the lots to maximize water views. The building process with them was truly exceptional. As a realtor, I have helped many clients buy new construction homes in the Seattle area, and the Strandberg process far exceeded anything I have seen. Our outstanding project manager, WENDY, skillfully and patiently guided us through many months of meetings with subs and decision-making. JEREMY, our site supervisor's ongoing attention to details and customer service was truly STELLAR. Regarding the quality of workmanship, our home inspector's comment was, "It was a pleasure to inspect a home that is built the way a home should be." We know this is because of the superb Strandberg employees and subs who we met along the way. A special thanks to Paul (cabinet installation), Cele (landscape), Steve (framing), Christian (paint), and all the others, each who were professional, friendly, and remarkably skilled. We once commented to owner Nels Strandberg that we were impressed with how he had attracted such excellent talent to his company. A huge thank you to ALL those who made our dream home a reality. We are beyond excited to live there and will forever be grateful for your hard work and wonderful service.

We've just moved in, and are over the moon in love with our home. Being newbies to custom construction we weren't sure of what we were signing up for, but knew that we wanted a Strandberg design and community. We felt comfortable from the get-go. Initial meetings with Aimee, our project manager, and Jim, our designer, made us realize that they were listening to us, had great expertise and knowledge, and could competently deliver our dream home. Aimee was there every step of the way, confidently and calmly managing our project, and Vic, our site superintendent, expertly oversaw every aspect of construction. They really were our dream team! We highly recommend Strandberg Construction for your custom home. They have an obvious culture of quality and caring, and a can-do attitude that starts at the top.

We just moved into our new home built by Strandberg Construction. It is amazing. We love the property which is a Strandberg Development in Anacortes, WA. The in-house design team did a terrific job of responding to our needs and building a home that took full advantage of the amazing view. The entire Strandberg team was responsive to our needs and we applaud every one of them. Our Superintendent, Vic Palmer deserves special recognition for the time and attention he gave not only to us but to each of the homes for which he was responsible. He went above and beyond what most would have done to meet our schedule. Thank you Vic.

The Strandberg team was superb to work with in every respect. From their in-house design to the final punch list, everyone was super competent, helpful and professional. Nels Strandberg, the company owner, met with us several times during the planning stage and during the construction phase as well, to provide his insight on design and engineering choices and implications, and to offer suggestions about which options might be more practical. Aimee was our project manager and did an outstanding job juggling all the balls and providing us with advice and insight on many of the choices we had to make. Vic was our project superintendent. He not only set high expectations for all his on-site team and the subcontractors, he came up with very innovative solutions to the little issues that always come up along the way. Without exception, the Strandberg team went the extra mile to make sure our expectations were met or exceeded. They take pride in everything they do and the results certainly reflect that.

When we decided to move to Anacortes from Texas we didn't know anyone in the area. Once we chose our property and knew we wanted to build, Strandberg was recommended as a good builder for us to work with. Having to build from long distance it was important to have someone we could trust and who could manage all the details we wouldn't be here to handle. We worked out the design with Jim and he came up with a plan that fit our property, fit the neighborhood and got us just the house we wanted. Wendy and Jeremy managed the project and construction. The entire organization seemed to be there for us to help make the project a success. And our house was completed on time and on budget and is beautiful. Throughout the process they provided guidance and led the way to getting all the required approvals. The subcontractors they used were top notch and when we spoke to the subcontractors it was clear they thought Strandberg was the best company to work with. During our scheduled trips out here Wendy had things lined up to make the most efficient use of our time and everyone was very thoughtful and accommodating to show us things and help us make decisions. Since we have been in our home, they have been very helpful and professional about following up on little items that we have either had a problem with or question about. The pride they have shown in their work quality makes us feel very confident about our construction. The way they have treated us through and after the project has made us feel like more than just customers.
