"We do the basic box buildings, but really our niche is difficult work that takes more thought and engineering," says Steve Bechtholdt, Douglass Colony executive vice president and head of its metals division. "We do a lot of fabrication. We have a craft mentality when it's demanded and when someone can pay for it."

The Capitol project's general contractor, GH Phipps Construction Cos., Greenwood Village, Colo., hired Douglass Colony to repair or replace corroded components on the dome.

"Douglass Colony put a lot of attention into quality."
