Oh my gosh my new countertops are in and they are absolutely gorgeous. Lee and Andrew did such a wonderful job. They were both courteous, communicated well, and very professional. It was a pleasure to have them in our home. We would recommend shades to any of our friends.

Wonderful team to work with. They helped me get the special countertops that I wanted, even though they were discontinued. And the installation was perfect. Also just really nice people - each and every one - to deal with!

Incredible experience and I know, I have been a contractor, retired now, for 40 years and having dealt with a lot of trades these folks at Shad's are the best, from the guys that template and install to the office folk and the owner. They are about a 15 out of 10.

Andy was awesome! He was friendly and so professional; explained everything before he began. No one will ever know where he repaired a chip in my solid surface kitchen countertop! He clearly knows what he's doing and does it well. Shad's did our original fabrication and installation almost 15 years ago.

Awesome, friendly, professional, met our schedule, and the craftsmanship from them was perfect, great job guys, we had chosen a very difficult pattern, and it needed to be done in two pieces, seamless finish.

Of course I would rate this 5 star. I have been an employee for 12 years. I do all installs for our company. We are wholesale only so you can request us by name "shads" if you go into any local kitchen and bath dealer. We cover most everything from Bangor and south, including all coastal points and islands. Also parts of New Hampshire. New construction, remodeling, commercial, we do it all. Build or install, Corian, Formica Solid Surface, Hi-macs, Wilsonart, Formica, also postform and custom square edge/wood edge. No stone. High quality, you get what you pay for and worth the wait.
