Roofing Contractor in Danville, VA

A roof leak gets more expensive every week it waits, and too many Danville homeowners end up paying twice: once for a cheap patch or a storm chaser who disappears, and again to fix it right. Shelter Construction Services is a Danville roofing company, not a crew that drives in from another state. Our office is at 1032 Cahill Court, and we have been replacing and repairing roofs across the city since 2017. We work on everything from early-1900s homes in the Main Street and Holbrook-Ross historic districts to brick ranches in Westover Hills and Forest Hills, plus commercial flat roofs downtown and in the River District.

We are not a high-pressure sales company. We measure, show you photos of what we find, explain your options in plain terms, and give you a written price. Many of our customers tell us we were the fourth or fifth roofer they called, and the first one who simply explained things.

Roofing in Danville: what we see on local homes

Older housing stock. Many Danville homes are decades old and still have two or three layers of shingles, original plank decking, and box gutters that need to be opened up and rebuilt, not covered over. We tear off to the deck, replace soft wood, and tell you the wood count before the job starts.

Historic metal and slate. Main Street and the older neighborhoods have standing seam and slate roofs that are often 80 to 100 years old. When the old metal can no longer be repaired, we replace it with new standing seam that keeps the look of the house.

Summer storms. Afternoon thunderstorms along the Dan River bring wind and hail every season. We document storm damage with photos and drone images and can meet your insurance adjuster on the roof.

Commercial and flat roofs. Downtown buildings and warehouses commonly need TPO or PVC membranes. We installed the TPO system on the Danville Regional Airport terminal and on buildings along N. Floyd Street.

These guys are awesome and really nice. They listened to what I needed and what I was going to do with this property in the future. They provided options and create a great plan with me. They replaced the old metal roof, took off the purlins, added sheathing, put on the new roof and insulated. The crew was really good and cleaned up perfectly. I do a lot of work myself and i know what things cost. They walked me through the costs and were really honest and fair. Super fast responses and getting things done (the crew worked the weekend). I don't know if i can say enough good stuff about this company and the people. Justin thank you for helping make this happen. I will be calling them when we add on.

We had a leak in our bedroom ceiling and had been trying to get in touch with many different companies before I called Shelter Construction. They sent a man to look at my roof the same day, within an hour of calling, and he was able to locate the problem and fix it quickly, and he did it without charge! So far, we have not had anymore issues with our ceiling. I highly recommend these guys for any roofing need!

I honestly can't say enough good things about Shelter Construction. From start to finish, the whole crew was amazing. H.L., who did our estimate, took photos of our roof and took the time to go over them to show me exactly what the problems were. James, who handled the financing, didn't give up when we ran into a couple of snags in the paperwork and made sure we got what we needed in order to get the job done. Anytime I had any questions, day or night, I could always contact them and they would respond right away. The crew was completely professional and worked 12 straight hours in the middle of July to get the job done in one day. I would most definitely recommend Shelter Construction.

We called 3 well known contractors to get an estimate to replace our roof and have new gutters installed. Kenneth of Shelter Construction was the only one to respond. He returned my call the same day I inquired and came out the next day to take a look at our roof. He had an estimate to us within a few days after that. The roof was finished in two days. We are very happy with the quality and workmanship. Everything was completed in a timely manner. Kenneth was very easy to work with. I highly recommend Shelter Construction.

Danville roofing FAQs

How much does a new roof cost in Danville, VA?

Every roof is priced on its own measurements: square footage, pitch, how many old layers come off, how much decking needs replacing, and the material you choose. A metal roof costs more up front but lasts much longer. We measure your roof and give you a free, written, itemized price with no pressure. Financing with 12 months of no payments is available on approved credit.

Are you actually based in Danville?

Yes. Our office is at 1032 Cahill Court, Danville, VA 24541. Shelter Construction Services is locally owned and has been operating since 2017.

How long does a roof replacement take?

Most Danville homes are torn off and re-roofed in one to two days. Larger or steeper roofs, metal roofs, and jobs with a lot of decking replacement can take longer. We clean up nails and debris with a magnet sweep at the end of each day.

Can you help with an insurance claim after a storm?

Yes. We inspect the roof, photograph the damage, and can meet your adjuster on site. If the claim is approved, we work from the insurance scope and explain any differences before work starts.
