Your Commercial Roof Is Either
Protecting You — Or Costing You.
A failing commercial roof doesn't just leak — it shuts down operations, voids insurance claims, and turns into a six-figure problem. Shelter Construction Services is the only certified Elevate (Firestone) and Duro-Last contractor in Southside Virginia.
Manufacturer Certifications
Two Certifications Your Building Deserves
Anyone can buy TPO off a truck. Not everyone can install it with a manufacturer warranty behind it. These certifications aren't handed out — they're earned through verified training, inspected installs, and ongoing accountability.
Elevate (Firestone) Certified Contractor
Firestone Building ProductsElevate — formerly Firestone Building Products — is the gold standard in commercial flat roofing. As a certified contractor, we're authorized to install TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen systems with full manufacturer-backed warranties. That warranty goes to you, not us. If a non-certified contractor installs Firestone material, you get no warranty. Period.
Duro-Last Certified Roofing Contractor
Duro-Last Roofing SystemsDuro-Last is a prefabricated PVC roofing system custom-fabricated to your exact building dimensions — eliminating 85% of field seams, which is where most roofs fail. As a certified installer, we're one of the few contractors in this region authorized to offer the Duro-Last 15-year or 20-year system warranty. The roof is made for your building. Not cut and patched on site.
Commercial Roofing Systems
Every System We Install. Built to Spec.
We're not a generalist roofing crew that does whatever comes in the door. We specialize in commercial flat and low-slope systems — the ones that fail the most and cost the most when they do.
TPO Roofing — Elevate Certified
Single-ply thermoplastic membrane. Heat-welded seams. Highly reflective surface reduces cooling costs. The most-installed commercial system in the U.S. — and the most misinstalled. Ours come with a manufacturer warranty.
Best For: Warehouses, retail, office buildings
EPDM Rubber Roofing — Elevate Certified
Ethylene propylene diene monomer — the most durable rubber membrane available. Handles extreme temperature swings, UV exposure, and ponding water. Proven 30+ year lifespan when properly installed.
Best For: Industrial, warehouse, large flat roofs
Duro-Last PVC Roofing System
Prefabricated to your exact roof dimensions. Only 15% field seams vs. 100% in conventional systems — which means 85% fewer failure points. Fire-resistant, puncture-resistant, and chemical-resistant. 15–20 year system warranty.
Best For: Restaurants, healthcare, schools, churches
Modified Bitumen
Multi-ply asphalt system with polymer modifiers for flexibility and impact resistance. Excellent for roofs with heavy foot traffic or HVAC equipment. Can be torch-applied, cold-applied, or self-adhered.
Best For: Multi-family, older buildings, roof-over applications
Commercial Standing Seam Metal
Custom-fabricated to your structure. 40–70 year lifespan. Ideal for large-span buildings, churches, and facilities needing minimal long-term maintenance. We fabricate and install — no third-party subcontractors.
Best For: Churches, industrial facilities, ag buildings
Hybrid Roofing Systems
Many commercial buildings have mixed-pitch roofs — sloped sections transitioning to flat. We specialize in hybrid installs where the flat system meets the shingle or metal system seamlessly, with no leak points at the transition.
Best For: Older commercial buildings, additions, mixed-use

Why Shelter Construction Services
What Separates Us From Every Other Contractor Bidding Your Job
Every roofing contractor in this market will tell you they do commercial work. Most of them do residential and take commercial jobs when they need the revenue. That's not who you want on a $50,000 roof.
Manufacturer-Certified — Not Just Licensed
Elevate and Duro-Last certifications require verified training and inspected installs. Your warranty is backed by the manufacturer, not just our word.
Virginia Class A Licensed & Bonded $1M+
License #2705164872. Bonded for projects over $1 million. If a contractor can't show you both, walk away.
Thermal Imaging for Leak Detection
We use FLIR thermal imaging to find wet insulation and hidden leaks before they become structural failures — no guesswork, no exploratory cutting.
No Subcontracted Crews
Your job is installed by our team — trained, vetted, and accountable to us. We don't broker your roof to the lowest bidder.
