My name is Cody Rosser and I’m an Eagle Scout with Boy Scout Troop 741 out of Goochland, VA. In order to earn the title of Eagle Scout I had to complete my Eagle Scout project, for my project I chose to build a skateboard ramp at a local skate park. Doug Vickstrom is a long-time family friend of mine, and offered to come help me with the construction of the ramp. He supplied me with every tool that I needed, and mentored me as I led my troop through the necessary steps to get the work done fast, safe, and correctly. The end result was a flawless, immaculacy built mini-ramp for all the youth in the community to enjoy when they came to the skate park. He was a true asset to the quality and completion of the project.

Many thanks,

To whom it may concern,

We are building our own home and have been working on this project for several years in Cumberland Virginia. Over the years we have had the opportunity of gleaning from the knowledge and experience and expertise of the owners of Outdoor Building Concepts (OBC), Doug & Sharon Vickstrom. They have provided sound and wise counsel on many matters in building our home. We are thankful that they are so willing to give us their opinions and viewpoints. They have illuminated the path for us on some of our projects potential pit falls, so we didn’t make costly errors. When we had a job to do and we lacked in our equipment to do it, they even allowed us use of some of their specialty equipment which made the job go much faster and easier.

Doug & Sharon have also come out to our under construction home on several occasions and helped us with installing portions of metal roof, with installing "Hardy Board" siding along with doing trim work, fascia and vinyl soffits. The quality of work they did on our home was Outstanding! Picture Perfect inside and out, every detail done to perfection. They took great care to leave us better off than when they came. They came prepared with all the essentials for the job and they cleaned up the job site when they were done for the day. They freely gave of their time and talents to help us progress in our long term goal of building our own home. We are impressed that they truly care about us and what we wanted to accomplish with the job we were doing. We knew they wanted to see our vision of our project come to pass for us, and they were willing and able to help us do it.

Over the years of knowing Doug & Sharon we have had the privilege of seeing the great quality of work produced by OBC. Everything we have seen of the work they have done is excellent and superior in quality. They take great pride in their work, as if they were doing it for their own use and enjoyment in their own home. Just the best, they do it right the first time.

We cannot express the great thanks we have for all that you have done to help us Doug & Sharon. We can only tell you that we are waiting for the opportunity to bless and help you!

August 2020

The Beaverdam Elementary PTA contracted with Outdoor Building Concepts to complete an outdoor pavilion for the students. Doug went above and beyond expectations working with suppliers to donate some of their costs and to bring the project within the budget and on time. He went above and beyond by staining the building and moving the picnic tables for us! We couldn’t have asked for a better result and they were great to work with. The students will enjoy this outdoor learning space for years to come!
