Testimonials
I would give Strandberg Construction six stars if I could. They were always professional and helpful. When I didn’t have the time to make choices and left decisions in their hands everything always turned out perfectly. The people at Strandberg took time to explain each phase of the construction. And, when I misunderstood what was going they had immense patience in correcting my understanding and making me comfortable. I only hope that I build another house again in Anacortes some day, because I would love to embark on this process once again!
We had an excellent experience with the Strandberg team in all facets of our project. They communicated with us effectively throughout the process: on the progress report side, the financial side, and the actual construction itself. They were extremely pleasant to work with. Every challenge encountered was met with a can-do attitude and a creative solution. They steered us to some excellent local vendors to use for flooring, countertops, lighting, etc. We could not have been happier with the process and the results. On all levels the Strandberg organization kept us informed and produced excellent results. Thanks to the entire Strandberg team!

“Strandberg was the construction contractor for our retirement dream home in Anacortes and we absolutely love our home! Build quality was excellent and Strandberg has been on the spot in helping us deal with typical “new home” issues. Our construction superintendent in particular, Vic, was a joy to work with and did everything reasonably possible to help us get into our home on schedule and with the features and quality we desired.”
“Another 5 star review for Strandberg Construction! Our new house is spectacular and the process from start to finish was a dream. You hear so many horror stories about projects gone bad, but the Strandberg team runs a tight ship. We finished on time, within a couple percent of the initial budget and without any tears. Project management, communication and collaboration were all stellar. This is a custom home in every sense of the word. Strandberg’s crew, vendors and subcontractors are all on board with the principle of making sure you get exactly what you want. Their attention to detail far exceeded our own and their creativity (both with the design and build) yielded a lot of ‘pop’ that we wouldn’t have dreamed up on our own.”
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 stapled to the walls, assuring that every 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.
“Strandberg and his team of professionals brought a stressful, terrifying idea to beautiful reality. They made the process simple and streamlined. They were there to help throughout the entire process. Wonderful team and a pleasure to work with! Thank you for helping with my dream!!”
“Strandberg designed and built our home and we are absolutely thrilled with the result. They worked closely with us in every aspect of making the design and construction work for my husband who is in a wheelchair and required a home that was easily accessible inside and out.
We would strongly recommend the Strandberg team to anyone desiring a smooth, efficient, and enjoyable building experience.”
“From the design phase to the final walk thru of our custom house the Strandberg Construction Team was exceptional! Strandberg Construction listens to their clients wishes and makes your dream house a reality! This was the first custom home build for us and our second Strandberg house. Our project was completed on time and on budget despite a few challenges that we encountered along the way. The quality of the craftsmanship and attention to detail with our house is second to none!! We highly recommend you consider Strandberg Construction if you are looking to build a custom house in Anacortes!”
