What Douglass Colony Group does

Douglass Colony Group, Inc. is a privately held, full-service commercial construction specialty contractor headquartered in Commerce City, Colorado, with a 79-year operating history (founded 1947 in Greeley as Earl F. Douglass Roofing Co.) and additional offices in Greeley and Colorado Springs. The company delivers integrated exterior-envelope and structural scopes for commercial properties across the Denver and Rocky Mountain region through six service lines: commercial roofing (low-slope, steep-slope, TPO, EPDM, PVC, metal, green), commercial solar PV (design, engineering, utility applications, install, O&M), FRAMECAD cold-formed steel design and manufacturing, waterproofing (hot fluid-applied, garden systems, terraces, below-grade), architectural metals (MCM, sheet metal fabrication, wall panels, trusses, sunscreens), and maintenance/repair supported by drone inspection and a cloud-based service program. Douglass Colony is the sole FRAMECAD contractor in the Rocky Mountain region and operates a 70,000 sq ft fabrication facility supporting in-house metal custom work.

The business is run as a project-based direct-sell enterprise contractor using a 400+ person in-house crew (installers, designers/CAD draftsmen, superintendents, project managers, safety and quality control staff, LEED Accredited Professionals) without resellers or distributors. Revenue is generated through commercial construction project contracts, multi-year maintenance agreements, and certified-installer programs with major OEMs (Firestone, GAF, Carlisle, Johns Manville, Englert, Holcim Elevate). Customer segments are horizontal across commercial property owners and general contractors, with a smaller high-end residential sub-line and use-case-led work in LEED/sustainability projects. The company maintains multiple trade-association memberships (AGC, ABC, NRCA, MRCA, Colorado Roofing Association) and an award record including ENR Mountain States Specialty Contractor of the Year (2014), multiple ENR Best Project recognitions, ABC Safety Awards, and the 2025 Elevate Master Contractor Award. Douglass Colony is independently owned with no identified private equity, venture, or parent-company backing.
