Straw Hat Restoration was formed in 2015 by twin brothers James and Jason Harrison after stumbling upon a photo of their parents wearing straw hats while fixing a roof.  Their father, Scott, owned his own renovation company for 40 years, which SHR purchased in 2016.  Scott stayed on board and still lends his wisdom to our management team.
Inspired by an industrious rural childhood, the twins have a passion for delivering quality construction experiences in the South Georgian Bay.  Let our family take care of yours!
