Graduate Benefits
Our Graduates have always been our best customers and advocates. As a graduate, you are very important to us and we want to remind you of some of the benefits of your Shelter Institute diploma:
- 10% discount on all our regular retail products all the time. Please remind us of your graduation class and date in phone orders (207) 442-7938 or in the comments field of a web order.
- Cost +25% on all supplies and products we sell. What you may not know is that we have worked hard at sourcing in recent years and have developed direct access to just about anything you could ever need to build a house. And we can have many supplies drop-shipped directly to your site. If you are shopping for building supplies, call us today and let us give you a price.
- Hennin Hotline—Don't forget, when thorny problems arise in the building process, we are only a phone call away. Call and speak to a Hennin or leave a message, and we'll get back in touch to help you work through your problem: (207) 442-7938.
