Diversification can be a good business strategy for coping with tough times, but it was a focus at Douglass Colony Group long before the recent economic downturn. The company’s goal is to be “the comprehensive source for the installation, service and maintenance of large-scale roofing, metals, solar and waterproofing projects,” and they’ve been laying the groundwork for 65 years.
Douglass Colony is a specialty contractor that performs roofing, metal, solar and waterproofing work all over the country. Headquartered in Commerce City, Colo., the non-union company primarily focuses on commercial and industrial work, but does a few high–end custom residential projects as well. About 50 percent of its work is in the new construction market. The company maintains that its ability to handle multiple services on an array of diverse projects gives it a leg up on the competition, while quality work and service keep customers satisfied.
