Testimonial: 

“We first met Dave (Skippy) about 12 years ago and at this stage, he was a foreman for another company. His employer at the time made a comment that Dave did the work of about three men! This was something we never forgot, so it wasn't a difficult decision to have Dave building our latest major renovation. Tom and I were very impressed with his quality workmanship. We have had many comments since, from other people in the building industry, regarding the high quality and standard of his work. He was always easy to get hold of, very responsive to any queries we had and very thorough. We would like to make a special mention of his foreman, Shane. We always found him to be calm, collected and accommodating to ourselves and other contractors as well as incredibly hard working. I would definitely use Shaw Builders again in the future and would not hesitate to recommend him to family and friends. Thank you, Dave and Carolynne.”
