When we decided to remodel our home on Daniel Island, SC we chose to work with Shelter Custom-Built Living because my husband and I love their architectural style and the quality of their work. We knew immediately knew that Shelter's modern design style suited our needs. Working with Ryan, Jenny and the Shelter team from conception to completion was a first rate design experience. Ryan and Jenny were always available to brainstorm ideas and offered creative ideas when weighing options. As an active family of 5 we knew we needed a very functional layout for everyday life with three boys. Adding a game room has provided us with the perfect space for everyday living and also for entertaining. We highly recommend Shelter Custom-Built Living.ReportRe: When we decided to remode ...
