Mike and Judy put together a package for us including getting the drawings and plans prepared and getting all of the materials put together. The drawings and plans were spot on and the City of Newcastle had very little to comment on before approving them. The materials package was estimated just right. The materials were top notch. Our builder was very impressed by how well the materials package was thought through and put together - so were we. Every step of the way, we were given advice that we later found to be on the mark. Cedar Homes of Washington's involvement in our project technically could have ended as soon as the materials package was delivered. Nevertheless, Mike and Judy continued to check in on us all the way through the end of the project. We enjoyed working with Mike and Judy and wholeheartedly recommend them to others.

It is our hope that this letter will ease your mind that you have found the best place possible to start the exciting journey of building your cedar home.
While driving in North Bend, WA in the summer of 2004, we passed a charming small log home. The owner of this home noticed our interest and invited us to see her home. She was quite proud of it and was used to the attention it received from passersby. She gave us the name and number for Mike and Judy Flanagan (Cedar Homes of Washington).
After meeting with Mike and Judy at their beautiful home, our expectations that they were indeed honest, decent people to work with- were met. We are now nearing completion of our home, and in reality, Mike and Judy's job with us is done. They could move on with other projects. Yet, they still check in with us and will continue to do so until we are complete.
In the course of building our home, we found two big advantages in choosing Cedar Homes of Washington. First, when filing the permit, Mike was there. Mike stayed with us the whole day, answering questions from the building department, enabling us to get our plans submitted in one day. The process would've taken days (and many trips) to and from to finalize this step of the process (if we did this one our own). The second advantage was, if you were to buy a package directly from Pan Abode, or perhaps another dealer, your home package would be literally dropped at your site for you to handle. Mike and Judy were right there at the drop-off, overseeing the placement of all materials, taking inventory of all materials and making sure any discrepancies were rectified.

Years after Cedar Homes of Washington received my last payment, they continue to provide me with invaluable design and finishing advice. They have always been eager to help and really took an interest in me and my project. They have done a fantastic job and continue to give excellent customer service and support.

We just wanted to thank you so much for being so wonderful in helping us build our home. We know the home package could have been a stressful part, but it wasn't at all - thanks to you.
-- Rob & Mary Stumph
This has been like a dream come true. The quality of materials is incomparable and everything fit together just like they promised. It was especially refreshing to work with people who are looking after your best interest in every corner. They understood how very important our new home was to us and I'm sure they treat all their customers with this level of respect and kindness. If you choose Cedar Homes of Washington, you won't be disappointed. We are truly satisfied customers!

We have had the pleasure of knowing Mike and Judy Flanagan since 2001. We met at an Open House for their business, Cedar Homes of Washington. We were looking at cabin packages to build a retreat in the mountains for our family. Their openness, friendliness and willingness to help is genuine. We never felt any pressure to give a commitment. The fact that the home they live in is a product they built themselves from a kit is a positive statement that they know the design and build process - have been through it - and know first hand about long term maintenance, etc. for these type of structures.
The summer of 2004, we had a contractor build the shell of our cabin and it was an extremely positive experience. There have been minor issues that have come up during the building process, such as shortages for hardware. Mike and Judy have always promptly returned phone calls and remedied the situation in short order. We cannot think of a way that they could improve the way they conduct their business or improve their customer service.

Mike and Judy Flanagan were the key to unlocking our dream of designing and building a home of a lifetime. Without their patience, enthusiasm, and commitment to providing information, insight and guidance through the entire custom home process, from conceptualization through construction, we would still be just dreaming. As trying an experience as being an owner/builder is, we have many wonderful memories and would in fact love to do it all again. We're sure that result has as much to do with our relationship with Mike and Judy as it does with anything else.

In 1986 we were searching for a way to build our dream home on the Olympic Penninsula. Our search included many local companies selling log home kits as well as companies across the U.S. There are many aspects of their homes that put them in lead contention among their competitors. However, what convinced us to buy our cedar home was the contact we made with Judy and Mike Flanagan. Their friendly, honest approach was just what we needed. To us it was daunting to mesh our dreams with the reality of materials and construction, but Mike and Judy got us through it.

Note: The Rughs have added two additions to their original rambler style home.
In the summer of 1989 my wife Marilyn and I acquired beach property on Hartstene Island in Mason County. We decided to build a cedar type home and talked with several different manufacturers. After making many comparisons, we decided on Cedar Homes of Washington and have not been sorry about our decision. During construction, Mike and Judy were available to answer questions and they handled even the smallest problems in a timely fashion. There were no surprises from start to finish. Our home went together as expected and the quality of the materials was excellent.

I am writing this letter to let you know how wonderful it has been to work with Judy and Mike Flanagan on my cedar home. Mike and Judy were so nice and very generous with their time. After a complete tour (of their home) they explained the kiln drying process and unique way in which their homes are constructed. They lent me blueprints to study. They also gave me the names and numbers of other people to visit. I went to at least 8 of their customer's homes during the next few months. Mike and Judy's design experience was invaluable. They were very patient as I made revisions and I appreciated their many creative yet practical suggestions. They came out to my site on many occasions and helped me wrestle with the building and health departments. I couldn't have gotten my permits without them! Mike and Judy always go the extra mile!

It has been such a pleasure working with you on our "cabin project." You have made it a very rewarding experience - one that we will remember for a long time. Your sincere and honest approach to helping your customers is truly unique. You both have a real knack of making your customers feel special and important. We feel fortunate to have hooked up with you.
