I've been an interior designer for 10+ years and SHELTER Custom-Built Living is by far one of the best contractors I've ever had the pleasure of working with. The level of organization, planning, coordination among trades and customer service is unparalleled. They made my job as a designer so easy and they made the process of building a joy for the homeowner. They take great pride in their work which is evident in the level of detail in the final product.
