WELCOME TO SHELTER

Think. Build. Live.

Shelter is committed to empowering you to create a better way to live. We offer design build services, custom and kit timber frames, real estate brokerage, fine woodworking tools, accredited classes in homebuilding and more.

At Shelter, we have been an industry leader in evolving durable, adaptable, energy-conscious building techniques since 1974.


SHELTER INSTITUTE CLASSES WILL EMPOWER YOU

For over 35 years, we’ve been teaching people how to build, renovate, general contract, or simply how to live well in their homes.

We take a common-sense approach toward teaching and building, integrating timeless, traditional techniques and tools with cutting-edge knowledge and technology.

Shelter Institute offers a wide variety of courses ranging in length and hands-on opportunity. In our classes we take apart the building process and teach each step individually.
