Tim Cadenasso
Dome Construction“Wanted to thank you and the crew who performed the basement ductwork demolition on Friday night. The guys were efficient, fast and most of all worked safely to get what was a very difficult bit of work achieved (ahead of schedule!) We truly appreciate SHC's efforts, not only this weekend, but on all the recent work we have competed together.”
James Marshall
Street Transportation Department“I visited the SR85 project site yesterday and you all did a spectacular job. It looks very good and well done. I was very impressed and that will serve as my model for similar work with that type of build back. The crew on site was very impressed with the work and the finished product.”
Steven Barnes
Saftey Program Manager, Industrial Hygienist“SHC is a great example of a company that repeatedly gets the job done on time and within budget. The management staff at SHC are focused and provide job crews that know how to work together as a team and they know how to work safely in a hospital environment. I would strongly recommend SHC to anyone in a healthcare setting.”
David Parrish
Project Superintendent“I am writting this as a letter of recommendation for SHC. This company and their personnel performed their abatement procedures on a project we did at Luke Air Force Base in Glendale, Arizona. The SHC personnel exhibited an extremely professional attitude no only with our verbal dealings with them, but also their work ethics. I would highly recommend SHC to perform and ACM abatement projects that you may have and we will definitely use them again when the situation arises.”
