Meet the Team

Doug Scott

Owner

Doug has played a pivotal role in the company from its inception in 1990. As the owner of both Advantage Homes and Amwood Building Systems, Doug interacts with prospective homeowners, builders, and internal team members. Having lived in Janesville most of his life, Doug takes special interest in residential development and home planning for the prosperity of the Rock County area.

Doug enjoys meeting prospective customers to help plan and budget their new home. He also enjoys working with his team to further improve business and increase volume.

When not in the office, you can find Doug golfing, running, traveling, and spending quality time with his wife and family. He has proudly achieved many goals in life, and his one remaining goal is to effectively transition his companies to operate successfully without his daily involvement, so he can spend more time enjoying his hobbies.

Home feature that Doug couldn’t live without in his dream home?
A larger garage. A three-car garage is just too small sometimes. A golf net and screen in the basement would be a real nice addition, too.
