A Customer Testimonial From Smith Douglas Homes

In the fast-paced world of real estate and property development, forming reliable relationships is critical for success. Smith Douglas Homes, a prominent homebuilder, found a trusted partner in Duncan-Parnell.  

What started as a collaboration for aluminum post signage has grown into a deep partnership that extends beyond mere vendor-client interactions. Our team caught up with Kayla Jones, Marketing Manager for Smith Douglas Homes in Raleigh, to discuss her exceptional experience working with Duncan-Parnell, as well as Duncan-Parnell Sales Representative Darcy Toffton. 


Creating a Connection

Kayla's journey with Duncan-Parnell began in 2019, following a disappointing experience with a previous sign company.

Seeking a reliable and trustworthy partner, Kayla engaged in extensive discussions with Jason Horner of Duncan-Parnell. The transparency and confidence she experienced during those conversations convinced her to entrust all their signage needs to Duncan-Parnell. By doing so, Kayla and her team could focus on their core responsibilities without worrying about when or how the signage would be delivered. 

 

A Comprehensive Signage Solution

Initially, the focus was on aluminum post signage. However, given the volume of Smith Douglas Homes' projects, the partnership soon expanded to cover various other signage needs. From neighborhood signage and model home displays to construction signage and impact logos, Duncan-Parnell proved to be a reliable one-stop solution for Smith Douglas Homes. Kayla appreciates the attention to detail and commitment to excellence that Duncan-Parnell brings to every project. 

One project that stands out for Kayla is the development of a standardized signage package for model home openings. Previously, they had to handle individual signage orders for each model home. However, with Duncan-Parnell's support, they created a comprehensive package, streamlining the process and eliminating the need for reinvention with each new model.
