THE DOHERTY DIFFERENCE

Doherty makes a point of creating a personal relationship with each client.  “Our client base has come to trust us to such an extent that three owners deal directly with us rather than through their general contractors,” says Dennis Doherty. “We don’t cut corners, and we’ve imbued our employees with the philosophy of being honest and upfront.  Sometimes we’re probably too honest, but our clients always know where we stand.”

The bottom line in creating and maintaining high standards among Doherty, its clients and its subcontractors comes down to one basic rule:

“Doherty is known for treating clients fairly.
They know they’ll have a steel contractor with a lot of experience and just
as much honesty.”

OUR HISTORY

In 1959, James Doherty established Doherty Ornamental Iron, Inc. as a fabricator of porch, balcony and pool railings.  In the early 1970’s, several of his customers requested he supply and install structural steel for upcoming projects.  By the end of the decade, structural steel fabrication and erection had become the majority of Doherty’s business.  In order to reflect this shift in nature Doherty Ornamental Iron, Inc. changed its name to Doherty Steel, Inc. in 2006 as a part of a new branding strategy.
