Our History
James and Josh Pennington learned the solid principles of work ethic, integrity, and delivery on promise that built the foundation of their business from their father and grandfather and their expertise in the General Contracting business.
After completing a large roof replacement project requiring interior protection for a major automotive manufacturer in Central Kentucky, James and Josh recognized the need for specialized Dust & Debris Containment. This 4,000,000 sq. ft. project inspired them to depart from the General Contracting Market to form Morgan Hayden LLC, in March of 2006.
The newly formed company quickly developed the materials and methodology to provide an effective answer to the long-standing problem of dust & debris infiltration during roof replacement and other construction renovation processes. Soon their business expanded nationally and included a number of Fortune 500 companies throughout the U.S. Now 5 generations of the Pennington family have poured their knowledge, skill and passion into the creation and growth of this business.
Today, as ShieldWorks, James and Josh, along with their team of dedicated employees, continue to rely on the same core principles of integrity and dedication with each and every customer, while offering the best possible solution for their project needs.
Our Mission
Harnessing the power of teamwork, experience, and expertise, we deliver peace of mind to our customers through unsurpassed service and exceptional quality.
Our Vision
