Humble Beginnings
Duval Fixtures Company was founded by Ralph Parrish, an experienced cabinetmaker and veteran salesman, providing high-quality millwork, attention to detail, and personal service. Ralph was well respected in the community, and he ran a successful company for nearly 40 years. In December 2004, Duane Yoder and Corey Dawson purchased the company from Ralph and incorporated as Duval Fixtures, Inc.
Corey and Duane are continuing the efforts that were started by Ralph Parrish, creating an environment of great synergy and quality craftsmanship, with a high degree of focus towards making Duval Fixtures the kind of company where people want to work and clients want to do business.
Who We Are
Corey Dawson is a lifelong Jacksonville resident and graduate of Englewood High School, where he first developed his skills in cabinet making through the Skills Center Program. He started in residential cabinetry as an apprentice while still in high school and began learning at ground level, learning how to manufacture, finish and install custom kitchens and entertainment centers. In 1985, he moved to a commercial cabinet shop to expand his skills and experience, and quickly became a Project Manager. For nearly 20 years, he handled all aspects of commercial millwork projects, including estimating, shop drawings, procurement of materials, scheduling, and customer relations.
Corey and his team at Duval Fixtures bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the business and to your projects. As the company continues to grows, the passion and commitment to the art of cabinet making is evident in the work they do and the product they provide.
