What Our Client's Have To Say
What Our Client's Have To Say
"Shelter Construction did a great job with our roof. They took care of everything with our insurance and delivered excellent service. Very happy with the entire process."
"Shelter and their team (Jasper in particular) were great to work with before, during, and after making our home repairs!"
"The crew was super efficient and got everything done and cleaned up perfectly. It was great working with Josh, who took a lot of care to help us navigate the process and meet us where we needed. Definitely recommend Shelter for all roofing needs!"
"Shelter did a great job replacing my hail-damaged roof. Matt did a great job of earning my business by walking me through the process and answering most of my questions before I could even ask them. The crew was in and out in one day, very little fuss involved."
