Crafting Unique Homes with a Personal Touch: The SHELTER Custom-Built Living Experience

At SHELTER Custom-Built Living, the ultimate building experience starts with a talented and dedicated team. Founded by Ryan Butler, a second-generation builder with over 35 years of industry experience, SHELTER focuses on delivering competitive pricing, innovative building ideas, quality craftsmanship, and skillful, personal oversight. This commitment to excellence, along with a seamless and enjoyable process for clients, sets the company apart from others in the custom home-building market.

Each custom home that SHELTER builds is a collaborative effort of experienced builders, artisans, and designers. With a mission to place clients' needs and wants as their top priority, the team ensures transparency throughout the entire design-build process. Ryan Butler emphasizes the importance of their team, stating that their success is due in part to their ability to bring transparency and an enjoyable experience to the clients.

SHELTER's unique approach to custom home building comes from Ryan's background in the industry. He grew up on job sites alongside his father and went on to earn his Bachelor's degree in Construction Management from Bowling Green State University. After working for John Wieland Homes and Neighborhoods, one of the Southeast's premier home builders, he established SHELTER Custom-Built Living with a focus on delivering exceptional homes and excellent customer service.

The company's slogan, "Remembering your building experience for all the right reasons," perfectly encapsulates its commitment to making the home-building process enjoyable for clients. With a history of establishing lasting relationships with customers through exceptional performance and ongoing communication, the team at SHELTER prides itself on providing a quality experience that matches the quality of their homes.

Each home built by SHELTER is carefully curated, ensuring that every design is truly unique. The custom home builder works hand-in-hand with clients to create and execute the perfect vision of their dream home, providing expert guidance through every step of the process – from lot procurement to design and material selection.

Ryan Butler defines success as being able to connect with past clients and engage in meaningful conversations with them as neighbors. He finds the most fulfilling aspect of his work in witnessing the progress of a custom home from vision to completion. Outside of work, Ryan enjoys spending time with his family at the beach and watching his kids' sporting events. To maintain a healthy work-life balance, he avoids working at night or over the weekend.

For top-producing Realtors, SHELTER Custom-Built Living offers a range of fully custom homes at different sizes and price points. The company also undertakes remodeling projects, providing the same level of quality and expertise as with their new construction homes.

At SHELTER Custom-Built Living, the focus is on building complex, unique, and quality custom homes while ensuring an enjoyable experience for clients. With a team dedicated to creating the ultimate building experience, it's no wonder that SHELTER continues to excel in the custom home building industry.
