Shaw estimates 95 percent of the customers come through personal referrals. Others see their work through home tours and open houses.

And it's letters such as the one he received from customer Dianne Robichad that remind him that the Lord has blessed him with his true calling:

"I couldn't leave Hendersonville without telling you, Sandy, and Melissa what a pleasure it was working with all of you! The experience of building our house was an enjoyable one and we appreciated those after visits when we were in the house. You certainly stand behind your reputation."
Dianne Robichad

"Thank you so much for the thoughtfulness.  We appreciate your friendship and feel very fortunate that we were able to find someone like you to make our dream house into a reality."

"We appreciated the time Bob took in answering questions and explaining details of our house. Bob projects his integrity."
