Meet Our Team
Doug Van Beek, Owner
Doug has been in the drywall business since 1978 when he specialized in high-end custom finishes. Being a self-starter, Doug is the motivating force of all aspects of our company. Doug still personally prepares or oversees all of the estimates and is very involved in the management of most of our projects, despite our exponential growth.
Jeff Rich
After 42 years working and managing VBD it is time for Doug to transition out of the business and into the next chapter of his life. This transition will take place over the next several years as Jeff Rich moves into Doug’s place as owner and President of VBD. Jeff has worked for VBD for 27 years starting as a drywall installer then moved into a foreman role then to overall hanging foreman. This transition is set up in a way to have little or no impact on VBD customers, employees or suppliers.
