Douglas M.

Business Owner

Douglas W. Mathews joined the plasterers union, local 73 in the Inland Empire in 1974 as an apprentice plasterer. He began working for his father’s business that year as well at Riverside Plastering. Production plastering was the focus at Riverside Plastering working with builders such as: Lewis Homes, Centex Homes, Acacia Homes, Icon and Standard Pacific to mention a few. After 45 years Doug’s father Ralph decided to retire as construction in southern California came to a stop. Douglas decided to sell out as well and took on a consulting job with Merlex Stucco in northern Califonia. He was recruited to go to China to educate a large company, Nanjing Real Estate Development on the techniques of installing plaster. He also traveled to Korea to educate another large company. In 2002 Douglas decided to start up another plastering company on the same platform Riverside Plastering was based. D. W. Mathews is less production minded and more into custom homes and unique commercial projects.
