Roofing Contractor in Chatham, VA

A roof leak gets more expensive every week it waits, and too many Chatham 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 roofs homes, churches and schools in Chatham and across Pittsylvania County, including Blairs, Callands, Keeling and Hurt. We are a Virginia Class A licensed contractor based just down US-29 in Danville and have been roofing in the county since 2017. Our work in Chatham includes roof renovations at Hargrave Military Academy.

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 Chatham and Pittsylvania County

Historic homes in town. Chatham’s older homes near Main Street often have steep roofs, multiple dormers and original metal or slate. These need detailed flashing work and the right material choice to keep the character of the house.

Rural homes and farms. Across the county, many homes have long porch roofs and outbuildings that are good candidates for standing seam metal.

Institutional and church roofs. We have completed roof renovations at Hargrave Military Academy and an Atlas shingle roof for Oakland Community Church in nearby Blairs.

Storm damage. Pittsylvania County sees regular wind and hail. We document storm damage and can meet your insurance adjuster.

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 Chatham homeowners, that means stronger coverage on materials and workmanship from the manufacturer, not just from us.

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.
