It is hard to find an honest, reliable and fair contractor. I think David might be the only one! His crew did a great job taking my house from a big mess to its former glory
David painted my house, he was very thorough in his work. He was responsive to our feedback and continued to work hard on the project. We are very satisfied with his work and will highly recommend him.
David helped us get our house ready to list for sale (painting, trim work, fixing a broken door, repairing our deck). He was very professional to work with, made sure everything was done to our satisfaction, and was very reasonably priced. He also kept the place extremely clean, which was appreciated! Will definitely be hiring Shades Contracting again
