Douglas L. McGuire Construction Co.

Hi...my name is Doug McGuire, and I am a Watauga County native from the community of Sugar Grove, raised by my father, and I am number four out of five siblings. After graduating from Watauga High School, I worked for my uncles, Waters Brothers Construction & Grading, operating heavy equipment and driving a dump truck. I was part of the grading crew that cut the roads into Linville Ridge, and I also assisted in the construction work on the Linn Cove Viaduct along the Blue Ridge Parkway. During this time, at the age of 19, I built my first house. I realized very quickly that residential construction was my "calling." So after 36 years of construction, I have built over a 125 houses (1,000 sq.ft. to 10,000 sq.ft.), four commercial projects (Highland Woods apartment complex, Vilas medic base, Mt. Vernon Baptist Church sports pavilion, and Boone Fire Station #3) and numerous renovations in local medical offices. When I'm not swinging a hammer on the job site (which I am very "hands on"), I love to hunt and fish, refurbish antique firearms, watch Atlanta Braves baseball, and travel with my wife, Caroline. I have been married for 31 years, have two wonderful sons, and I just became a grandfather.
