SHS initially operated as request only as a side business but has evolved into a full service fire-stopping company due to the identified needs of his peers.

We work hard and go the extra mile to seal walls completely no matter how difficult that may be. Our staff works to assure a safe facility, thus assuring a compliant facility in the process.
