Unparalleled Expertise in Commercial Contracting
Being Of Service
Accountability
Facilitator
The cohesive atmosphere at Sundance Builders creates open lines of communication between the owners, employees, and field personnel that enhance the execution of our mission.Our diverse combined experience ensures that no matter what the project we can execute it with the utmost satisfaction. The “developers’ sense” allows us to anticipate true costs and timelines for a project.
It is our mission to provide our clients with Construction Services that take the whole project into perspective. Due to our extensive development background, Sundance looks at the project documents to determine what it would take to complete the project from start to finish. Our problem solving starts in the design / bidding process rather than in the field to eliminate as much cost and time adjustments as possible.
​
Sundance’s objective is to provide a cohesive and professional team of employees that meet the diverse needs of our clients with integrity and honor. We believe in an open and honest relationship with not only our clients but our subcontractors as well and over the years we have established relationships built on trust.
The term “A man is only as good as his handshake” still holds true at Sundance Builders.

Shena Garriss
Guided by the principle of engaging the spirit for exceptional results, Shena Garriss brings a dynamic and unwavering commitment to Sundance Builders. Her philosophy is simple yet profound: if you commit to something, you follow through; you take ownership of any setbacks, no excuses – fixing it is paramount, regardless of fault; doing it right the first time is our standard, avoiding repetitions; and the cornerstone of growth is learning from every experience. These aren't just words; they're a way of life at Sundance Builders under Shena's leadership.
Shena not only holds herself to these elevated standards but extends them to our valued clients and esteemed subcontractors. She invests considerable effort in ensuring that those we collaborate with embody these principles.

However, those who share the same level of integrity as she does are not just respected; they are celebrated and embraced at Sundance Builders. Shena Garriss is the catalyst that propels us towards the extraordinary. Through her commitment to integrity and excellence, she has built a community where shared values elevate us to achieve the unimaginable, together.
