Meet the Inspector

My name is Doug Mikota.

My name is Doug Mikota, I was born and raised in Skagit Valley, WA. I'm 4th generation of Washingtonian with a lot of family history in construction, farming, and education here in Washington State. I've worked in various fields in the construction industry from handyman, house mover, painting custom homes, deckhand to captain. Most extensively I've worked as a scaffolding foreman, superintendent, sales, and estimator for large apartment complexes and industrial plants all over Washington State.

​

Since the days I put on my tools as a kid I've always strived to work hard, show up early, take pride in my work, and do quality work. On my off time I enjoy spending time with my family, camping, boating, fishing, and being outdoors when the sun is around. We are always happy to take your calls and meet new people.
