After multiple conversations with the salesperson at MVBC regarding the project, and considering the products available, the order was placed for my untreated metal panels, which I was assured would rust quickly. The materials were delivered in a timely manner, but construction was delayed due to months of bad weather. When we were finally able to complete construction we discovered that the panels were galvanized - exactly what i did NOT want, which is why I went to MVBC for this special order instead of just buying far lest costly galvanized roofing panels at any big box store. When I contacted MVBC to discuss the matter, she confirmed that she ordered galvanized panels because that was the only option. None of which was mentioned to me in our several earlier conversations, and her only other comment was "Well, I'm no expert on metal." {!!). Well then I recommend you put someone on the order desk who DOES know what they're talking about, because I now have five huge problems on my hand that I did not create and no way to solve.

August 2021 I'm a…read morefive star rated contractor. I recently tried this lumber yard by giving them two of my new construction homes. I gave them a competitive bid from another company but cautioned the agent to read the sent plans and compare pricings and contents. He ignored the plans and began sending me materials based on another lumber yard's quote. He missed over $8,000 of lumber he was supposed to bid on and deliver. Every few days I was sending a runner to buy materials they missed delivering at twice the quoted price. This lumber yard gives you partial quotes not knowing construction and lean down the needed materials only to have to send more later...it's an old lumber yard ploy. When I complained to the owner he never returned back with a resolution but instead sent a "post dated" notice to lien which legally was to be sent "upon ordering materials" and is now void and mute. I will never use this company again and the agent is inept and did not follow instructions...His comment was "we do this all the time"

From the moment you walk into Sound Cedar, the smell alone of the fresh cedar is incredible. I checked everywhere and we used them for a lot of decking fasteners and naughty pine tongue and groove. We also got Cedar tongue and groove from them. Prices were excellent but again the customer service was fantastic. It is the most organized facility I've ever seen. In fact, picking up the materials with their forklift crew loading it onto the ladder rack of my pick up truck was so impressive. I took photos. Nathan had recommended an excellent installer for our deck and I cannot tell you how wonderful Felipe and. And Fernando were with the install. Once again, I checked many different places to buy the material. Sound Cedar was the best and exceptional quality but once again it's the best customer service I've ever experienced and I was the general contractor on this build of a home and a detached garage. I should've left a review a long time ago. I just noticed somebody had given one star reviews and there's no way in the world. They deserve that this place is exceptional. You've gotta go there. We bought a really nice Japanese trellis made out of cedar from them and they've got a really good selection. Line of barbecues to include the green egg we're thinking about. The custom Cedar furniture they have there is awesome as well and built for big guys like me!

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.

After going to five specialty stores looking for tile for our master bath and walk-in closet, we…read morewere so discouraged when we couldn't get the pattern we wanted. Oh, they all carried it, but they would call the supplier and then tell us it was not available, and would not be in stock again for months. At one store, a large chain flooring business, we even paid for the tile only to be told two days later it was not available. We tried all five different colors of the same pattern, nope, not available. Due to Covid delaying manufacturing and delivery, and more people suddenly improving their homes, all building supplies were affected and delayed. We just happened to be driving in another city 40 miles away and saw a small flooring supply store tucked back in a mini mall. It was the Flooring Outlet in Mt. Vernon, Wa. We thought we would check it out since we were there anyway. As we were looking through the myriad of flooring samples I spotted the design and color we had originally picked but was not available. We spoke to the owner, Rick Fazekas, and asked if he could get this tile, 24x24 matte for the floor, 12x24 smooth for the shower walls.. He made a phone call and assured us he could get it to us the following week, but the shower tile was only available in 24x24. Although it would be more work and risk to cut them we decided to go ahead and order. After all, everyone else told us they couldn't get it at all. We made a payment and waited a week. The tile came as scheduled and with a surprise. Rick was able to get us the 12x24" smooth wall tile after all. Yay! So we have the tile we loved, in the sizes we needed, and the most amazing part...it was way cheaper than the large chain store. Bonus, bonus, bonus. Rick was so helpful through the process and when we needed to order additional tiles. It looks so beautiful and I wish I could post a picture of the finished bathroom, but we are waiting still for the countertop, cabinets, and shower doors to be delivered. We highly recommend and will purchase from Rick again.
