Experience built through service and industry.

Valor Outdoor Design & Build is based in Dobson, North Carolina, is insured, and is owned by Delvin Ridgle, a U.S. Army veteran and former Communications Sergeant. The team includes certified welders. Delvin brings more than a decade of hands-on industrial maintenance, mechanical troubleshooting, welding and fabrication experience to the work. From a practical repair to a custom entrance, Delvin studies how a piece will be used, the conditions it must withstand and the details needed to build it well.

Delvin and Ann love travel and mission work in the Dominican Republic and India. That service shapes a straightforward approach: understand what the customer needs, identify the practical constraints and build a solution made for real use.

Customers come to Valor for fire pits, firewood racks, gates designed around their entrances and one-of-a-kind metalwork. Delvin also takes on suitable repairs and site projects when a careful, custom solution makes more sense than an off-the-shelf product. He works directly with customers from the first conversation through fabrication and installation planning.

Ann Ridgle

Ann Ridgle is a U.S. Navy veteran and former wedding venue owner. She previously ran Shift wedding venue, where she gained firsthand experience planning spaces around guests, events and the details that make a setting work. At Valor, Ann brings that perspective to outdoor design concepts for venues, commercial spaces and properties meant to welcome people. She also handles customer inquiries, scheduling and project communication, helping each client move from an idea toward a clear project plan. Ann and Delvin live in Dobson, North Carolina.
