Stokes Mechanical LLC.

The permit trail is short and consistent. Residential mechanical permits in Spokane Valley in 2025 and in Colbert that December, then a run of mechanical permits in Spokane through spring 2026. The company also advertises AC maintenance, HVAC inspections, filter changes, indoor air quality work and some commercial HVAC service. The state lists Kelly Stokes and Jordan Riggins-Stokes as principals since 2024, the year the business was formed. It's a small crew, one to three people, with the owner working on the jobs. That size suits household heating and cooling: a furnace that dies on a cold night, an AC that stops in July, a heat pump or furnace replacement, or a yearly tune-up. Stokes Mechanical sticks to mechanical systems. A whole-house remodel or new construction that needs framing and general building work belongs with a different kind of contractor, and a large commercial build calls for a bigger mechanical outfit. Before comparing HVAC quotes, write down what you have now: the furnace or heat pump model and age, fuel type, the square footage you're heating and cooling, and any rooms that run hot or cold. Ask each bidder to name the equipment brand, model and efficiency figures, say whether ductwork changes, thermostat and removal of the old unit are included, and confirm who pulls the mechanical permit with the city or county. Quotes that spell out the same items are the only ones you can fairly compare.
