As a decorative artist of 37 years I was hired recently by Shelter building and design. I have working with top shelf designers and builders from coast to coast ie; ( Mario Buatta, Bunny Williams, Peter Pennoyer, Parish Hadley, etc.) and I have to say Shelter Co. IS among the best I’ve worked with. Incredibly thorough, timely, great attention to detail, creative,open,relaxed , Punctual, they get the job done! Their crew and all the trades they hire are also wonderful! Respectful, neat,organized, timely and went out of their way to make the project run smoothly and orderly. I am grateful and fortunate to have worked with them and continue to do so. 5 star recommendation!!

Ryan Butler is an exceptionally talented builder that I have had the pleasure of working with, alongside his Shelter team, for the past 6 years. His professional knowledge, attention to detail, and business management is impeccable. Shelter creates an environment that makes building an exciting experience. The quality of his product and craftsmanship is unprecedented. I appreciate that Ryan is not only business oriented but extremely influential in the creative process. I highly recommend Shelter to build your dream home.

Shelter oversaw the design aspect of the remodel of our former home, and we could not have been more impressed with this team. Jenny’s creative eye for beautifying and maximizing our space was impeccable. She’s not only extremely talented, but also very patient, and was always available to answer any questions or help in any way throughout the process. We most recently hired Shelter to assist with exterior paint color and design of our new home, and once again love the outcome. We’ve had such a positive experience with this company, and would highly recommend!

I cannot say enough about Shelter and their entire team. Working and managing children from home during a pandemic quickly required the need for separate and quiet work/school spaces. Ryan and his team made our remodel better than we could have ever imagined.Perfect vision and implementation for what we needed!

Thank you. Congratulations on your new home! We were beyond happy to assist you with your remodeling needs, and we are exited to work on design ideas with you next.

Shelter Custom-Built Living built our home. They were involved in every step of the process from helping us choose the right fixtures to guiding us in the design of our outdoor courtyard! 5 years later they are still willing to come help us with miscellaneous things around the house to bigger projects! We love everything about Shelter Custom-Built from their quality to customer service!

Shelter built our house 4 years ago and the experience was absolutely incredible. The entire team is professional yet offers a personal touch, always willing to help with decisions or advice. Every day we enjoy our beautiful home and we have them to thank for making our dream come true. If we ever build again, it will 100% be with Shelter Custom Homes.
