Employee Testimonials

  • "I have had the privilege of serving The Detering Company for over 27 years. When I was first hired, I thought it would be a temporary stop in my career. Little did I know that this company would change my life in profound ways. The Detering Company has fostered an environment centered around family, service, and community. These core values resonate throughout every level of the organization. My days here are filled with joy and laughter, and I often find myself reflecting on how the children I once saw at company functions have now become integral members of our team. This generational connection is one of the many beauties of The Detering Company. I have been fortunate to witness the leadership here that has allowed me to grow and flourish personally and professionally. It has been an honor to observe four generations of the Detering family and to be part of a company that has dedicated 100 years to serving Texas. As we embark on the next chapter, I feel more excited and encouraged than ever. I am proud to be part of The Detering Company, and I look forward to continuing our mission of community service for another century."

  • "I have been with The Detering Company for 12 years and I am grateful for the years committed and looking forward to many more. I started as a receptionist but after a few months I found myself interested in millwork sales and I was determined to learn and grow within the company where I was given the opportunity to work in will call. I love my job and what I do, to be able to take care of our customers daily. You literally can learn something new every day. The Detering Company is a 2nd home not only to myself but to many of my other colleagues. Over the years it’s been a great journey!

    — Counter Sales Representative

  • “I have been an employee of The Detering Company for 1 year and it has been the best year of my career. Detering cares about the people (both internal and external) more than any company I have worked for. Detering has the fire power of a large corporation but is still run with the small town family atmosphere which allows the company to offer a service that is unmatched.”
