Daubs Maintenance & Repair carries a 5-star Google rating from 14 ratings, and the jobs people hire it for run wide. The company says it has been in business 40 years. One customer worked with Doug on a large renovation project on a historic home, where he did the painting, installed bathroom vanities and blinds, and completed the work according to the estimates he provided. A customer who wanted exterior, mostly cosmetic work said Doug refinished the deck, installed a motion light on the barn and kept the pricing very fair. One customer said the job covered replacing stairs and fixing a garage header, with an on-time arrival and everything cleaned up afterward. After an ice dam leak left a hole in a kitchen ceiling, a customer said Daubs identified mold in the ceiling space, remediated it and fixed the drywall. A customer who had an above-ground pool installed said the work was scheduled around the weather and a follow-up visit checked that everything was working properly. When one customer had an emergency, Doug rearranged his schedule to help on a Friday. A customer said Doug cleared fallen trees and debris. A 2026 customer said Doug ordered and installed doors, fans and overhead lights.

Did a great job on replacing stairs and fixing garage header. Showed up on time and cleaned everything up! I would use again.
I am so pleased to have found Doig given he is so professional, a great communicator, and gets the work done. We worked with Doug on a large renovation project on a historic home. He did our painting, installed vanities in bathrooms, and installed blinds. He provided us clear estimates for the work, communicated dates he would complete the work, and completed all work according to the estimates provided. We are very pleased with all work he completed. Doug also closed our pool, and he did some smaller projects on our other home. Doug is a kind, hard working, and responsible person who will be able to help you with your small or large projects. I highly recommend that you call Doug, and you schedule the repairs and maintenance you have been putting off completed.
Great Service. Communication was clear and exact. Appointments made and kept. Work is excellent quality. Charged exactly what I was quoted.
Great communication, timing and work
After searching for what seemed like forever, I finally found Doug and what a find he is! I was primarily looking for someone to do a number of exterior, mostly cosmetic work, around my home. He showed up on time, was flexible and accommodating, communicated and kept me up to date on each project. Not surprisingly, he did an excellent job! He refinished my deck - it looks like new - and installed a motion light on the barn. He will be back in a few weeks to do painting and some detailed work on the house window sills and front door (which are old!) -.and hopefully, whatever other projects come up - and they will. His pricing is very fair. As an aside, and something maybe not everyone can appreciate, but as a woman, I really appreciated that Doug was respectful and transparent, and there was none of the condescension that I too often experience when dealing with contractors. Anyway, 5 stars, highly recommend. He's a gem.
