Seamless from Start to Finish
The folks at Stockell Custom Homes are second to none. From start to finish, our home and kitchen renovation was absolutely seamless. The initial quote was spot on with what ended up being our final cost. Every member of the Stockell Homes team felt like family and we are so grateful for their kindness and professionalism. We could not recommend them more!
Quality and Real Value
We had the best experience using Stockell Custom Homes on two major projects over the last 15 years. Both times they were very professional and stayed on schedule, adapted to changes we wanted along the way, and were very upfront and transparent with costs. We added a detached 2 car garage for our first project and tied it back into our existing. Roof line through covered porches. We still get compliments. The second project was new kitchen cabinets and counters, and the finish and installation were wonderful, as were their connections and contacts for cabinet makers and counter (granite) suppliers. Great. Small and personable company. Quality and real value.
Turning Your Vision into Reality
Stockell did an amazing job and our lower level came together just as we envisioned. We were more than satisfied with Stockell every step of the way!
Rehabbing the right way
The Stockell team did an excellent job helping rehab our older home – the right way! Very professional and even caught things the other contractors missed. Highly recommend giving them a call for your custom home or remodel needs!
An Outstanding Redo
Connecting with you again was wonderful. Your construction crew did an outstanding redo on a very ugly end of the room. The drywall man, Shawn, and your adorable son, Nate, transformed the room. My ‘mental outlook on life’ is 100% better thanks to great workers like you and yours. I am so happy that you and your team worked for me. Shawn was a great find. Thank you!
Reliable, on Time, and Professional
Don Stockell and his team have done several remodels on our home. He is very reliable, on time, and so professional. Our bathroom was a complete redo. His team laid the floor, put in the tub, shower, and toilet. They also painted, installed the vanity, mirrors, and lights! It’s gorgeous.
Always Available
Stockell Custom Homes was recommended to us by a well known decorator that we have used for years. Don provided great ideas on how to enhance the project we were interested in and came up with a fair price for the work. During the project both Don and Tom were always available, they kept us well informed of progress and made sure that the subcontractors paid attention to details. We are very happy with the end product and would definitely use them again.

Everyday, a Clean & Safe Site
Don and his company replaced the deck on our home. He personally visited our home and determined the scope of work, the bid was comprehensive yet easy to understand. The bid price was excellent compared to the 3 others that we got. We were super excited with the communication, knowledge, experience and flexibility of the crew. We made a couple of changes, both cosmetic and structural resulting in a fantastic job. Most impressive was their willingness to stain the ends of each deck board at installation, this was recommended by our painter for a longer lasting deck. In my book, that’s over the top!!! Everyday, a clean and safe site. Excellent Job. If you would like to see it, just ask Don for a tour.
Eureka Home Remodel
I can’t say enough great things about Don Stockell and his team. Our remodel looks great, his team was professional and was here on time every time they were scheduled. His job supervisor, Tom, was knowledgeable, answered all of our questions, scheduled and supervised all subcontractors, and was wonderful to work with. Because of the quality of the work that was done even the permit inspections were a breeze. We definitely plan on using them again for additional remodeling.
The Best Contractor I Have Ever Hired!
Over the last 30 years I’ve hired many contractors for various projects and I had to stand over them to ensure things were done correctly but with Don Stockell in charge, I found he was ensuring that things were right at each step. He even suggested ideas that I had not thought of. He treated our home as if it was his own.
Garage Addition
We have had a basement finished, bathrooms remodeled, general repairs in the past few years. We had a garage addition this spring by Stockell General Contracting. They were very professional, very high quality work, finished before they estimated they would be done and very good at communication. Don and his team take pride in their work. They clean up daily, which doesn’t seem important but it really is. I felt he had very fair prices and did not over price at all.
Everything you want from a builder!
We Were so happy with the kitchen renovation! Everyone at Stockell is amazing – qualified, kind, collaborative; everything you want from a builder! They know and trust their subs, and have excellent project management.
We could not be happier with our kitchen remodel. Collaborative and professional every step of the way. The reality is even better than the vision.
Continued Commitment
Elaine and I very much appreciate your team’s efforts during our remodel. We Especially want to thank Nate for his continued commitment. He’s been our “go to” guy throughout the project – and continuing afterwards with our questions/concerns. His “How can I help?” default response is refreshing. We trust his advice without fail.
Renovations for any age home
Stockell Homes/Don Stockell has been the general contractor for us on 2 homes. Don completely renovated every square inch of our former home, a 1902 gem (after his renovations!) in an urban setting. We moved this past Summer to a suburban 1980’s home and undertook major renovations on it. We have received nothing but the highest compliments from all that have entered either of our homes. Don’s attention to detail and craftsmanship are superb. He has a fabulous work ethic, and his word is his bond. With all the work he has done for us we feel like Don is one of the family and we recommend him without any reservation to anyone who is ever looking for a contractor.
True Care
Had an excellent experience with our remodel! They used top notch contractors, have excellent project management, all while retaining a level of service and comfort that reminds you that this is a family business. Every person we interacted with truly cared about us and the success of our project.
Major kitchen Remodel – St. Albans
Stockell Homes just completed a major kitchen remodeling for our home in St. Albans. First class workmanship with excellent subs and suppliers. Stayed on budget and on schedule so family could enjoy Thanksgiving with new kitchen and dining area. This is our second major job with Stockell Homes and they continue to impress us with their work and attention to detail.
Keeping our Promises
You can’t go wrong using Don Stockell for any size project. He has the utmost integrity, honesty, expertise, work ethic and follow up in the industry. He has done small projects from making our home handicapped accessible, to complex projects like adding a three level elevator to an existing home. We have used Don and his team to create a wine cellar/man cave, to finish a lower level, and on exterior projects. Each project you will be supplied with a detailed bid, along with Don’s extensive expertise and input. He will then do exactly what he promises, in beautiful detail and with daily cleanup. Highly recommend!!
Repeat Client
We used Stockell Construction for our basement remodel and were so happy with the results that we used them again for our Master Bedroom/Bathroom addition, along with a new roof, siding and deck. Don had great suggestions during the planning process with our architect. His team did quality work, and we always felt that they wanted everything to be done right. They paid attention to detail and wanted to be sure that we were happy with the outcome. We were pleased with their recommendations for plumbing, cabinet and flooring providers. The subcontractors they used also did quality work. Other than a few changes we requested, they completed the project as budgeted. Our project manager did a great job of coordinating everything and addressed all of our questions and issues throughout the project.
Keeping Clients Informed
Don and his team have done great work for us on an 1800 sq foot basement remodel and some finish work on a formal living room and entry. From design to completion, they have kept us informed during every step. When a problem came up with one of their subs, it was addressed, corrected, and we moved on. They stand behind their work and the finished product looks beautiful. We will be engaging them again soon on a kitchen remodel and look forward to the finished product. I would highly recommend Stockell Custom Homes and Construction.
Thanks so Much for all Your Hard Work
We are thrilled with the results. Thanks for your good ideas, your attention to detail and for being so easy to work with. Also, the Stockell’s subcontractors are great. The entire process was quick, on schedule and created minimal inconvenience: all because of your professionalism. We hope we have the opportunity to refer others to you. Looking forward to a continued friendship.
Two Story Addition
Stockell Homes & Contracting added a two story addition, a screened in porch and finished our basement. They did an excellent job and did so in a timely manner. Workmen were on the job daily and we were in constant communication. It was a refreshing change from our past experience with other contractors.
