Great place to work. This plant is open armed and the people whom work here are top notch. The best truss facility in the world if I'd say myself. The quality the employees put into there work is 110%. I'd recommend this company to any contractor or business. Any individual that likes to work at a fast moving place this would be the place for you.

Shelter Systems supplies estimating, sales, design, manufacturing and coordination there is not a better truss company on the East Coast. East Coast frames over 2 million sf. Per year and we prefer to use Shelter Systems on every project.
