Roofing Contractor in Gretna, VA

A roof leak gets more expensive every week it waits, and too many Gretna 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 replaces and repairs roofs in Gretna and northern Pittsylvania County, including Hurt, Sandy Level, Mount Airy and the southern side of Smith Mountain Lake. We are a Virginia Class A licensed contractor based in Danville and work along the US-29 corridor every week.

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 Gretna and northern Pittsylvania County

Older in-town homes. Many homes near downtown Gretna are from the early and mid-1900s, with original decking and older shingles. We recently installed Atlas Pinnacle Pristine shingles on a home on Leftwich Street.

Algae and staining. Shaded and humid lots grow black streaks on shingles. Atlas Pinnacle Pristine shingles include Scotchgard protector to resist algae staining, which is one reason we recommend them here.

Rural homes and outbuildings. Farms and properties outside town are often a good fit for standing seam or exposed-fastener metal roofing.

Storm damage. We inspect after wind and hail and can meet your insurance adjuster on site.

Certified by Atlas and CertainTeed

Atlas PRO+ Platinum Select certified roofing contractor

CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster roofing contractor

Elevate (Firestone) certified contractor

Atlas PRO+ Platinum Select is the top tier of the Atlas Pro contractor program. CertainTeed SELECT ShingleMaster is CertainTeed’s highest level of shingle installer credential. Both require manufacturer training and a track record of quality installs, and both allow us to register enhanced manufacturer warranties on qualifying roofs that most contractors cannot offer. For Gretna homeowners, that means stronger coverage on materials and workmanship from the manufacturer, not just from us.

For commercial and low-slope roofs we are also certified to install Duro-Last and Elevate membrane systems.

 Verified 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.

 Verified 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!

 Verified 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.

 Verified 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.
