Shane Penney
Supervisor
Shane has worked in construction since the summer of 1995, becoming a valued member of the Fondare Finish team in 2017. With over two decades of experience, he has gained a wealth of knowledge and has become highly skilled in both the residential and commercial sides of construction. He takes joy in using his expertise to not only help navigate our clients through the entire construction process, but also to teach the next generation of carpenters how to build a finished product that stands the test of time. Shane’s reliability, excellent communication skills, and ability to problem solve are just a few of the reasons our clients love working with him.
