About Us
Our story
How it all started
At SoCal Shield Shoring and Plates, we believe safety should never be compromised. Founded in 2025 by industry veterans Pat Burton and Dana Fredette, our mission is simple: to provide high-quality trench safety rental solutions with unmatched customer service.
After years of working for big corporations, Pat and Dana saw firsthand how customer relationships and employee well-being were often overlooked in favor of profits. They set out to build a company that puts people first—both the contractors who rely on us and the team members who make it all happen.
