The Doug Difference
Doug’s Legacy
-
Transparent Communication
Doug believed customers deserved to know exactly what they were getting and what it would cost. If something was outside his expertise, he'd tell you honestly rather than take on work he couldn't do well.
-
Quality Craftsmanship
For Doug, every fence was a reflection of his reputation. Even when he stopped doing the physical installation as he got older, he stayed personally involved in every project to ensure it met his standards.
-
Relationship Building
Doug genuinely enjoyed getting to know his customers and took pride in becoming their trusted "fence guy" for life. He loved being part of the Howard County community and built lasting relationships that often extended to multiple generations of the same families.
How His Community Remembers Him
-
He was a lovely man and we knew him for over 25 years. He built fences for my mom and for our family over the years. He was a funny and kind-hearted man of high standards. He will be missed!

I only met Doug once during the installation of a fence about 10 years ago and have recommended him ever since. His presence left a lasting impact.

For the Man Who Built More Than Fences
Doug spent 39 years helping Howard County families build something lasting. After losing him suddenly and unexpectedly to cholangiocarcinoma, a rare bile duct cancer, we're supporting the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation's research efforts to help other families facing this disease.
