Over the years, I've watched Spane's crews build several different buildings here on Whidbey…read moreIsland. I have some experience in the building trades and was impressed by what I saw both in the quality of work and by the simple fact that unlike many Contractors/Subs these days, when Spane's crew got started, they didn't stop until the project was finished. In early 2025 I decided I wanted to build a 30'x32' shop at my house for my own use. I got bids from 5 different contractors and I decided on Spane for three main reasons: First, in my initial and subsequent meetings with Michelle, their designer and estimator, I learned she was very knowledgeable, personable, and very easy to work with. She took me through the entire design/build process from the beginning to the end, cheerfully answered my questions and put up with me changing my mind several times during the process. Because of her thoroughness, there were no surprises from start to finish. She made it easy. Second, Spane's bid came in the lowest, but I thought it was reasonable as I had done my own estimate of materials and labor based on current costs. (Unlike some of these Contractors around here who jack their bids up to try to make a years profit from a 2 month project...) Third, and most important, over the years I had seen for myself the quality of their work and at the end of my build, my new shop is exactly what I expected and exactly what I wanted. In today's world, Spane actually understands and pursues customer satisfaction and I can't recommend them highly enough.

An Incredibly Good Roof, Expertly Installed…read more I shopped around, got about 6 bids. Cameron and Axis weren't the least expensive, nor the most. They provided several choices, each of which gave me the best value for my dollars. They worked with me through some scheduling changes so that I could watch the roof go on. What is underneath is really more important than the shingles that went on top. The crew was professional and efficient, and really nice guys to boot. They worked long hours to get it done quickly and cleaned up each night. I told Cameron that I wanted to be around in 50 years to check up on their warranty. He said the roof would be there.

I am very disappointed with Axis Roof and Gutter. I had them do a full roof replacement. When Steve…read morecame to look at the roof and give a bid, he said that he was not sure if my roof had plywood on the whole roof or not. Looking at it from the attic he could see some roofing nails. All the other 3 companies I had give an estimate said the same thing. My house is 62 years old and is very solidly built. When he did the bid he included 3 sheets of plywood just in case. He did not want to include all the sheets in case it did not need it but said that any additional sheets would be billed at an additional cost. If it was needed, it would take 50 sheets to cover the entire roof. I planned on needing the 50 sheets, so I added that cost to his bid and went with them. When it was all done, he said that it was 58 sheets (which I question, all the other companies I had give me an estimate said it would be 50 sheets). He did not give me the credit for the 3 sheets he added to the bid, saying they were in addition to the extra ones. Needless to say, it cost more than the bid. I would say watch what they are doing and take note of the supplies. The work looks good, except the flashing on the chimney. After not hearing back from them about it, I am having another company come and fix it. I don't really trust them to do it correctly. Only go with them if you want to pay more than they quote.

We had Milt and his team renovate two bathrooms and we have a very high bar for quality. We had…read moretaken a very long time to choose all aspects of these rooms and once we were ready to go Milt helped us meet the challenge. We changed an old tub for a wonderful upgrade, expanded the shower area, with high-end glass, added excellent tile work throughout (he has a great tile guy), changed counter-tops, and even moved a wall of 50 year old cedar panels to extend an existing wall. Were there hiccups along the way, sure. But now, several years later we are thrilled to use these rooms every day. We work at home and the lifestyle enhancement has been profound. Truth be told we did a good deal of research before and chose well with our components and visual choices. The paint work was superb (he has a great paint team too). The team had an amusing cast of characters and I enjoyed them. They took tremendous care to keep the spaces (bedroom next to the bath) absolutely clean and protected. It took a while with delays and fixes but now all I can say is we really appreciate all the effort that went in and Milt's good spirit to get it right. If you want a successful project like we experienced i'd say you might need to be an engaged partner in the process, that's what I did and the results speak for themselves.

Stokes Construction came to our rescue after a flood destroyed our kitchen, dining room and…read morebedroom. Kevin's expertise, creativity and perfectionism took us from despair to delight in only four months' time. That's because he's the rare contractor who does the preliminary and last finishing touches himself. As Kevin told us, "I don't leave shoddy work for the next guy because the next guy is me!" The few sub-contractors Stokes Construction brought in matched his same high standards whether in granite work, painting and carpeting. When we started this whole episode Kevin's fair and reasonable prices didn't begin to suggest the impeccable quality or exquisite artistic touches we'd end up treasuring every single day. We recommend without reservation! Linda Campbell

I sent out bids to five other roofing companies and he came highly recommended, and I like the fact that he was so easy to work with. I also like the fact that everything he did was of the finest quality, whether it was the knowledge that he shared, and also the fact that he used quality products and went the extra mile by using metal in the valleys with TPO and rain and water shield under the shingles. You can't beat the work he does for the price! But we didn't choose his company just for the price we chose it for the quality and it shows.
