After working for a local garage repair company for 3 years I've made a decision to start my own one and try to provide a better service for lower rates.
Started this business with a childhood friend Greg. He was with me for over 10 yrs and retired early to build a cabin and hunt. I recently moved the shop to Fair Hill MD area but my customer base remains primarily New Castle County and surrounding areas
Our company started as S+D Siding and Door in 1996 as a way for my grandfather to spend his free time after he retired from GM. He worked the business with his brother-in-law for a few years and then with his daughter for quite a few more. His granddaughter and her husband (current owners) took over in 2015.
Ferris Home Improvements was founded by Delaware native, Walter "Reds" Ferris. Reds began the company with only one full-time crew member - himself, but has since grown FHI rapidly, employing a full-time crew that runs several trucks throughout the day. Our team has over 40 years of experience, specializing in both commercial and residential indoor and outdoor improvements. On average, FHI completes hundreds of jobs each year, but owner Walter Ferris still oversees the operations and runs estimates. In addition, he has surrounded himself with a crew of highly skilled family and craftsmen that he has hand-picked over the years.
