Frequently Asked Questions
Who runs Shelton Construction?
Shelton Construction is led by president Philip Shelton out of the Moulton Street East shop in downtown Decatur. Philip's leadership credentials include Graduate Master Builder, Certified Graduate Builder, and Certified Master Remodeler designations from the National Association of Home Builders, which are continuing-education credentials beyond the baseline Alabama contractor license.
What is the BBB Torch Award?
Shelton Construction won the 2023 BBB Torch Award for Ethics from the BBB of North Alabama. The Torch Award is the BBB's regional recognition specifically for ethical business practices, judged on character, culture, customers, and community criteria, and it's awarded to a small number of businesses in each market each year.
What's a Graduate Master Builder?
Graduate Master Builder is the highest of the National Association of Home Builders professional designations, which Philip Shelton holds at Shelton Construction. The credential requires extensive coursework in business management, construction, and customer service on top of the active general contractor license, and it's held by a small percentage of NAHB members.
Where does Shelton work geographically?
Shelton Construction serves Decatur, Madison, Huntsville, and Athens from the Moulton Street East shop. The four-city footprint covers most of the Tennessee Valley's residential and small commercial market and reflects the company's focus on quality residential and small commercial work rather than chasing larger regional commercial scope.
Does Shelton do commercial work?
Shelton Construction handles commercial structures alongside its residential portfolio. The commercial side typically covers small to mid-sized buildings that fit the same design-build delivery model the company uses on custom residential, rather than the larger regional commercial scope handled by general contractors with dedicated commercial divisions and field crews.
What's the Certified Master Remodeler credential?
Certified Master Remodeler is a National Association of Home Builders designation specifically for remodeling expertise, which Shelton Construction's leadership carries. The credential requires remodeling-specific coursework on top of the general builder credentials, and signals the company is set up to handle additions and renovations as a primary service rather than as new-construction overflow.
