Selle Valley Construction, Inc. History

Selle Valley Construction, Inc. was started by Scott Schriber in 2004. Scott, the son of a high school woodshop and drafting teacher, grew up around woodworking and worked in the construction trade since he was a teenager.

Construction jobs helped financed his way through the University of Idaho, where he earned a B.S. in Wildlife Biology. Turned out, Scott missed the gratification of building and after a few years working as a fish and wildlife biologist in Oregon and Idaho, Scott returned to construction as a carpenter and project manager.

Scott discovered Sandpoint while attending the University of Idaho and knew his wife Barbara would fall in love with the town as soon as she crossed the Long Bridge. He was right, and the two moved to Sandpoint in 2002. Scott was offered a job with a leading builder in town and encouraged Barbara to start her own business venture. In 2004 Barbara returned the favor, encouraging Scott to start his own construction company.

In a short period of time, Selle Valley Construction, Inc. has earned a reputation for quality, craftsmanship and integrity.

Unlike some building contractors, Scott considers himself a carpenter first and prefers to be hands on and is usually on-site. This further enables Scott to know that the project is progressing smoothly, on schedule and on budget. Selle Valley Construction, Inc. is not a construction management firm – we are the builders.

Quality vs. Quantity

We limit ourselves to a few projects a year to ensure your home gets the attention it deserves. Selle Valley Construction, Inc. carpenters are responsible for the building of your home from framing to the final details. This type of continuity further enhances our attention to detail. We like to say we are a company of finish carpenters that happen to frame. Sub-contractors do provide specialty trades, such as plumbing, HVAC, painting and electrical and do provide an essential component of our work.

Our building standards meet or exceed the Uniform Building Code. Due to the fact that Bonner County does not have a building department or building inspector, we have worked with city and independent building inspectors in the past to provide an added level of assurance to homeowners.

Selle Valley Construction, Inc. is accredited by the Better Business Bureau. We carry full workman's compensation and liability Insurance and all subcontractors are insured. We are also licensed with the Idaho State Contractors Board RCE 1102.
