For 25 years, ShuBee® has been driven by a simple belief: true professionalism means protecting every home you enter.

Since 2000, we’ve proudly provided dependable personal protection products—backed by exceptional customer service—for service professionals who work in homes and commercial spaces every day. Today, we celebrate a quarter-century of innovation, hard work, and partnership with the professionals who trust ShuBee® to help them do the job right.

The Spark That Started It All

Our story began more than 40 years ago with our CEO and Partner, Steve Stone. As a plumbing business owner, Steve quickly realized the shoe covers available at the time weren’t built to handle real job-site demands. They simply couldn’t stand up to work boots—or real-world conditions.

That frustration sparked an idea.

Working out of their mother’s garage, Steve and his brother Mann designed a better solution. The result was the ShuBee® Original Shoe Cover—a product engineered specifically for professionals. After selling his plumbing business, Steve officially launched ShuBee® in 2000.

What began as a single solution has since grown into a comprehensive line of professional protection gear trusted nationwide.

The Core 4: Professional Protection You Can Depend On

At the heart of ShuBee® are four essential categories of personal protective equipment (PPE), purpose-built for professionals working inside finished spaces. Together, they form a complete protection system—one that safeguards property, improves efficiency, and reinforces professionalism on every job.

Shoe Covers

The Original Standard in On-Site Professionalism

Shoe Covers are where the ShuBee® story began—and they remain the most recognizable symbol of professionalism on the job. Designed to stay on and hold up under heavy work boots, they protect floors from dirt, moisture, and debris without slowing professionals down.

They don’t just protect surfaces—they build instant trust with customers.

Surface Protection

Total Coverage for Total Confidence

From floors and stairs to countertops and work areas, Surface Protection products help prevent damage, reduce cleanup time, and minimize costly callbacks. Quick to deploy and reliable under pressure, they create a controlled work environment so professionals can focus on the task at hand—not the surroundings.

Coveralls

Head-to-Toe Protection Without Compromise

Lightweight, breathable, and built for mobility, Coveralls provide a critical barrier between the job and the home. They protect clothing while preventing dirt and contaminants from traveling between job sites—especially important in plumbing, HVAC, restoration, and pest control.

Gloves

Precision Protection Where It Matters Most

Hands are a professional’s most valuable tools. Industry-trusted solutions like Ugly Gloves® deliver superior grip, durability, and protection in demanding environments such as drain cleaning and restoration work.

Together, the Core 4 protect customer property, enhance job-site safety, reduce liability, and reinforce the professional standards service businesses rely on.

25 Years of Growth and Partnership

Over the past 25 years, ShuBee® has grown from a garage-based startup into a trusted partner for service professionals across the country. We’ve expanded our product offerings, strengthened industry relationships, and continually invested in operational excellence—all while staying true to our founding principles:

  • Solve real problems
  • Protect customer property
  • Help professionals present themselves with confidence

These values continue to guide every product we create and every relationship we build.

25 Years of Real Partnerships

We often say that people make the company, and over the last two and a half decades, we’ve been honored to grow alongside the businesses we serve. When we talk about partnership, we mean the long-term relationships we’ve built with professionals who have relied on ShuBee® for years—not just a single order.

But you don’t have to take our word for it. Here’s what some of our long-term partners have shared:
