October 29, 2013, was a day that devastated many homes on the east coast, including my home in the Ocean City, Maryland, lower Delaware seashore resort area. Three and a half feet of water enveloped my bayfront rancher to the point that it was photographed and looked as if it was going to float away. Contaminated bay Water seepage of a foot and a half entered into several rooms, causing personal items to actually be floating when I was able to enter the home.

At devastating times such as Hurricane Sandy, there are many contractors who try to take advantage of the grief stricken homeowner, one of which I dismissed for not showing up and ultimately causing further damage to my property.

At the suggestion of an associate, I had the privilege of meeting Don Furbay, owner of Shades Home Improvements Contractors. Don was highly recommended for his work and I decided to give him a call. Within a day Mr. Furbay was at my home with a crew who immediately began steps to clear out the debris, personal contents, to initiate clean up and repair to my home in an attempt to prevent mold from further damaging my residence.

Since 1978 I have lived at the beach and have experienced various contractors in numerous jobs for me personally ,as well as for my real estate and business clients. NONE were as reliable and dependable as Shades Home Improvements. Like clockwork, they showed up on time and diligently remained focused on repairs /improvements to my home.

Suggestions were made by Don Furbay and his team which proved to be the right path in giving me my home back!

Not only is the home beautiful, but it is more functional and the improvements/repairs have increased the curb appeal and value.

From the painters, tile man, carpenters, electricians, plumbers that Shades Home Improvement networks, each and every one was professional, courteous and genuinely knowledgeable.

I would highly recommend Don Furbay and his team at Shades Home Improvements to everyone and welcome any visitors to my home to preview their work.
