Customers are fully satisfied
We went all in with shelter (energy check - design - reno) and had the best experience. Energy check and Chris’ team were so meticulous and technically sound! Leah and the design team blew us away with options that we couldn’t imagine that fit our needs and our budget. And the renovation part was smooth, on schedule, and accurate with Justin. Shelter really goes the extra mile to ensure you have what you want and that it’s done to the highest standard (this last part we can’t stress enough!). We’re already thinking about an addition down the line and we wouldn’t work with anyone else when the time comes.
Shelter Alternatives designed and built our beautiful home 30 years ago. Since then, they have helped us with regular maintenance tasks, upgraded our home's energy efficiency, designed and built a home extension that complimented the original house design, renovated our laundryroom, and repaired tree damage to our home after Hurricane Helene. They have consistently responded quickly to requests, sought our input for each of the planning steps, kept us updated on job progress, completed jobs with high quality standards, and followed up to ensure any questions or problems were addressed to our satisfaction.
We contracted with Shelter Alternatives to renovate several areas of a purchased home. Justin Buehler was our project manager, and he did a wonderful job managing Shelter’s staff and the subcontractors. We were living out of the area when the project was underway, and Justin made a point of providing timely updates on the job, including providing pictures of the work being done as the project progressed. Alice Coddington worked closely with us on the selection of tile, lighting, and faucets for our renovations, providing valuable insight into the best options for our renovation. When the project was completed, Ed Tuchler, Shelter’s President, came to the house to meet with us to ensure that we were completely satisfied with the work that had been done. The workmanship and attention to detail were outstanding. We would recommend Shelter Alternatives to anyone for renovations in their home.

The average roof replacement cost for a residential home typically ranges from $7,000 to $15,000, depending on factors such as roof size, chosen materials, roof pitch, and labor rates in your area. Premium materials or complex designs may increase the price.
The cost to replace the roof of a commercial building typically ranges from $5 to $12 per square foot, depending on several factors such as roof size, material, labor rates, building type, and local code requirements.
Several factors influence roof repair cost, including the extent of the damage, roof accessibility, material type, labor costs, and whether it’s a general repair or an emergency fix. Minor repairs can start around $150–$400, while major repairs may exceed $1,500.
Roof leak repair cost generally ranges from $300 to $800, depending on the size and location of the leak, the materials required, and labor intensity. Complex leaks involving structural repairs or interior damage will cost more.
Flat roof repair cost for commercial properties usually ranges from $500 to $3,000, depending on the roofing material (TPO, EPDM, PVC), the extent of the damage, and roof accessibility.
Mobile home roof replacement cost typically ranges from $3,000 to $8,000, making it generally more affordable than traditional home roof replacements, due to smaller size and simpler structure.
It's not necessary to stay home during roof replacement. Roofing work is noisy and can cause vibrations inside the house, which might be uncomfortable. Most homeowners choose to leave during major parts of the project, but our team ensures safety and keeps you updated, whether you're home or not.
The timeline for a roof replacement typically ranges from one to three days, depending on the size and complexity of the roof, weather conditions, and material type. Larger or more intricate roofs may take a bit longer, but we always aim for efficient, timely completion.
To hire a roofing contractor, start by researching local companies with good reviews and proper licensing. Request quotes from multiple contractors, verify their insurance and certifications, and ask for references. Always ensure you get a written contract that outlines the scope of work, timeline, and payment terms.
Check if a roofing company is legit by verifying their business license, insurance, and local certifications. Look for memberships in professional associations, read customer reviews, and ask for recent project references. A legitimate company will be transparent and provide all documentation upon request.
When choosing a roofing company, consider their experience, customer reviews, warranty offerings, and quality of materials. Make sure they provide clear communication, detailed estimates, and a solid portfolio of completed projects. Local expertise is also a major advantage for understanding regional roofing needs.
Warning signs that your roofing contractor might be ripping you off include vague contracts, pressure to pay large upfront deposits, lack of proper documentation, and unexplained price increases. Always ask for itemized estimates and written guarantees, and avoid contractors who avoid answering your questions directly.
