Business built and operated / More than a decade
SHANCO Inc. / The Porch Doctor
Not just a contracting role: Shannon built and operated a specialty contracting business, taking responsibility for the commercial decisions and the quality of the finished work.
Ten-plus years building a successful specialty contracting business.
Through SHANCO Inc. and its operating business, The Porch Doctor, Shannon developed a reputation for specialized liquid-applied Flexstone urethane coatings and premium aluminum railing systems on residential and multifamily projects. He managed the complete process—from customer relationships, sales and pricing to material planning, scheduling, installation and final quality control.
Six major contracts
Approximately $800,000–$900,000 in sales from six larger apartment and condominium contracts.
10+ years
Hands-on specialization in Flexstone systems, balcony restoration and railing installation.
End-to-end ownership
Business development, contract negotiation, estimating, procurement, crews, installation and client delivery.
Representative projects include Blackstone Condominiums (Waterloo), The Jake and Moda (Kitchener), Hush Collection and Max (Kitchener). His work included a successfully executed approximately 13,500-square-foot coating project in 2021–2022.
Why it matters: The Porch Doctor demonstrates the ability to build a business, win and deliver substantial contracts, manage resources and solve practical field problems—not simply oversee work from a desk.
