Celebrating 50 years of service
Our family business was established in 1945 in rural Colorado by Russell Daughenbaugh. Russell worked diligently to build the family business from the ground up with the support of his wife Verna and son, Butch Daughenbaugh. Together, they earned the trust of the local community and built a strong foundation of being steadfast and offering a level of quality that was second to none. Butch Daughenbaugh was handed the reigns in 1970 and continued to grow and expand the business.
Mark Daughenbaugh followed in his grandfathers and fathers’ footsteps as a young boy, learning everything he could about the family business. At the young age of 24, Mark faced the unexpected heartbreak of losing his father and as a result stepped into big shoes to take over the family business.
Mark has proudly and successfully upheld the core values and dignity of the Daughenbaugh name for over 30 years and has grown the business into a competitive, trustworthy, hardworking machine that delivers excellence every time! With the assistance and support of his wife, Jody Daughenbaugh, they continue to do what’s right not only for the Customer but also for their team.
