Founded in 1995 as Dutch Way Builders, we’ve learned a thing or two about what it means to serve our customers well. After transitioning from a building business to offering only fencing and railing, we focused our services on what we do best. We have a shared passion for getting to know our customers on a personal level, and solving their unique problems. Let us put our years of experience to work for you.
As a family-owned and operated business, we understand the value of meaningful relationships. At Dutch Way, we want to get to know our customers, and look forward to meeting you.
Dale’s passion for the building and fencing industry started at the early age of 19 when he came to work for Dutch Way Builders. Within only a few months, Dale had worked his way into a management position. Soon after, in 2000, he became a part owner, eventually becoming the sole owner of Dutch Way, LLC in 2012. He prides himself on the family business he has helped to build and strives to provide a quality environment so employees can enjoy their lives outside of work. He recognizes the importance of being flexible and adaptable to every problem thrown his way, letting stress roll off his back and working toward a solution. Dale’s rich experience along with his desire to solve every customer’s unique fencing problem makes him a strong leader of the Dutch Way team.
James is an expert in the fencing industry, coming onboard in 2001 soon after his cousin, Dale, became a partner of Dutch Way, LLC. His typical day involves meeting with prospective clients to provide fencing or railing solutions that work with the style and layout of their home. One of his favorite parts of the job is meeting customers and getting to know their story on a personal level. Not only does James offer decades of experience in the industry, but he also completed the American Fence Association’s Sales Training School, a two-day training that builds on the fundamentals of the buying and selling process. James works to provide attractive, low maintenance, and on-budget products. When he isn’t assisting customers, you’ll find James spending time with his family, backpacking, or even bikepacking—an adventurous activity involving multiday mountain biking, camping, and sightseeing.
Stacey is a true utilitarian, helping his team and clients find practical solutions for their fencing needs.. He has a hand in almost every step of the process, from providing estimates to assisting with fabrication. He joined the team at Dutch Way in 2004 and worked as an installer for the first 15 years. In his current role, Stacey assists customers in the planning phase of their job, helping select a style, color, and material that suits their budget and unique sensibilities. He gets great fulfillment out of building personal relationships with customers and takes pride in the quality product and installation from Dutch Way. Outside of work, Stacey is an avid saltwater fisherman, often traveling to the Chesapeake Bay in his spare time. You may also find him at a BBQ with his family or hunting on the weekend.
Mark brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the team. After decades of holding management positions with other area businesses, he joined Dutch Way as the Location Manager in 2003 when they opened their second location in Stuarts Draft. Mark is the face that greets customers when they walk in the door and ensures that every fencing job is of the highest quality. He prides himself on the large base of contractors he has partnered with over the years, and he hopes to continue growing these relationships. Outside of the office, you’ll find Mark spending time with his young grandson or gardening. One of his favorite pastimes is hunting, and he enjoys taking annual trips around the country during hunting season.

Our customers love
our work. Here’s why.
Dutch Way came this morning to begin the process of our vinyl fence. They have been extremely polite and easy to work with, knowledgable, patient and professional as we changed our minds a few times about what we wanted. Our fence posts are just starting to be put in, but I would already highly recommend them! Can’t wait to see the finished product.
Only place to go if you are looking for a quality fence at a reasonable price. The staff are professional and care about doing a quality job and making the customer happy. Thanks for everything Dutch Way! I wouldn’t use anyone else!
We are very pleased with the beautiful decking, railing, and lattice recently installed at our home. Visitors have commented on how great it looks. Claude and Justin are very skilled, talented, patient, and steadfast. You have two very valuable employees who handle working under less-than-pleasant conditions and nasty weather with professionalism and grace. Most happy to give Dutch Way company and their employees a great review!
