Doug Chappell’s extensive knowledge of historic construction benefits his clients. Whether it is the restoration of century-old windows, doors or woodwork; the installation of new mechanical systems; kitchens and baths or complete renovations, he is able to seamlessly introduce new components while retaining the integrity of historic features.


Doug’s knowledge of restoration, accepted materials, and the review process, enables him to assist clients with decision making that conform to The City of Frederick’s accepted Historic Preservation Commission guidelines.

Doug works with a trusted group of allied tradesmen, but also respects existing relationships that clients might have with other tradesmen.

The vast majority of residential sites where his project work takes place are occupied by an individual or multiple family members. Accordingly, he maintains a clean worksite in an effort to create as little interruption as possible. If you are considering a repair or renovation but have difficulty knowing the varying skills needed to execute it, contact Doug. He will show you the best and most efficient means of accomplishing it.
