"Our home is absolutely everything we ever dreamed it would be." Karl & Kristin
Shelton homes were superb to deal with throughout every stage of our build. After purchasing the perfect block we were determined to find a builder who could build for us our dream family home.
We have always admired a number of Shelton homes over the years and after our initial meeting with Scott we knew right away that he was the only builder for us and that no one else would compare.
Scott worked closely with us throughout the entire process to ensure our home was absolutely perfect. From the initial planning stage through to those final touches before handover, any issues or concerns were always thoughtfully considered and resolved in such a positive and reassuring manner.
The quality craftsmanship and overall attention to detail really does set Shelton homes apart. The home they have built for us has far exceeded our expectations. We could not be happier. Our home is absolutely everything we ever dreamed it would be. We would highly recommend Shelton homes to anyone looking to build.

"Seamless, stress-free, and everything we dreamed of" – Damian & Jodie
Damian and I have always loved the look of traditional Queenslanders, particularly how classic and iconic they are to Australia. Shelton was recommended to us by a work colleague when we bought the block of land in Toowoomba. When we looked on the website we absolutely loved what we saw! We really like the idea of supporting local businesses and Scott and his team were nothing short of incredible especially given the difficult steep nature of our block and the logistics we had to deal with, it was seamless.
We went to Scott with a custom house plan that was very important to us as we wanted this place to be our forever home so our expectations were high. Scott was able to make and deliver it for us with the added Shelton homes touch and we couldn’t be happier.
The construction phase was exciting and overall a great experience. It was wonderful to see all the little design choices we made come together and the attention to detail by Scott and his team exceeded our expectations. Any issues that came up were resolved promptly and the build went smoothly and quickly. We were very impressed with the professionalism and quality workmanship of his team and how mature his group of boys were to talk to and deal with.
We highly recommend Shelton Homes to anyone who is looking to build. Nothing was too difficult and he and his team were very approachable and professional. We couldn’t be happier with the service and delivery of our forever home.

“Quality, care and communication every step of the way” – Ann
My sister and I inherited the family farm just over 2 years ago when our father passed away. Shortly after this, the 90 year old homestead on the property burnt to the ground. We decided to rebuild, and started planning and thinking about what we required in a new homestead. Neither of us had been involved in building a new home for over 30 years, so the prospect was quite daunting. As we are both married and have grandchildren, we needed a home large enough to cater for the needs of 2 families. We wanted a home we could enjoy, for family gatherings and also that suited the farm surroundings.
We met with Scott Shelton, and he impressed both of us from that first meeting. He drove us around and showed us many of the homes he had built over time. These homes were of various sizes, age and design. It was evident how much pride and pleasure he took in his work. We were also able to view a larger home, which was close to completion. It was just beautiful, and both my sister and I knew that we had found the builder to construct our homestead.
Scott has a wonderful team behind him too, which made each step in the decision making process much easier to navigate. His aim was to take as much stress as possible away, and in that regard it helped us a great deal. Scott has an easy going way about him, and nothing was too much trouble. He made many suggestions during the course of the construction to enhance the final outcome.
My sister and I live 2 hours away from the farm, so communication was highly important for this project to work successfully. Scott was always available via phone and responded to emails and messages promptly. He kept us updated with progress photos between our visits to see the homestead build take shape.
Overall, Scott is professional and courteous, and his attention to detail is exceptional. He doesn't cut corners and uses quality products.
I would highly recommend Scott and the team at Shelton Homes to anyone considering building a new home. You won't be disappointed.

"Shelton Homes went above and beyond our expectations" – Dave & Kjersti
We had wanted to build a Shelton Home for many years so when we decided to build again, there was only one choice for us. Because of Shelton Homes' good reputation, we honestly didn't really have any concerns before we started building with them.
The experience building with Shelton Homes was absolutely painfree and a joy from beginning to end. They communicated very well with us so we were never left wondering what was happening next.
They built us a dream home that I still can't believe I live in every day when I come home. I think now that we are living here, what has impressed us the most is the quality of the house.

"From steep acreage to stunning forever home" – Michael & Lisa
A few years ago we found this beautiful picturesque and hilly acreage that looked awkward to build a house on. We wanted to build our own designed floor plan as we really didn’t find anything that suited our needs or the building site.
Our other concerns were design costs as we all try to build to a budget. The proof is in the pudding. I love our new forever home. I am ecstatic with the build and the work ethic of the Tradesmen.
If I find a “Fence sitter” I would show them our home and take them through every room and detail every step of construction. What it looked like as it was being built and how it went together, at what time-frame the construction was completed in and how the Shelton team interacted with us and as a team then let the evidence speak for itself.

"Second to none in craftsmanship and service" – Geoff & Heather
We wanted to build a unique elevated quality home on a limited budget that complimented our extensive views. We decided to build with Shelton Homes after seeing the quality of their designs and build standard.
Scott's design experience and advice helped us to achieve the home we wanted. Having built, renovated and extended several homes over 30 years, we have never had such a pleasant cooperative experience as building with Shelton Homes. The quality of the build and the final finish is second to none and we unreservedly recommend Shelton Homes.
Thank you Scott and team - we love our new home.

"From first design to final finish — simply incredible" – Angela
From the initial design stage through to completion Scott and his team were nothing short of incredible. Scott worked closely with us every step of the way to create the home that we have always dreamed of.
Nothing was too much trouble or too difficult and the level of workmanship is second to none.
They have created us a home that we are proud to call our own and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who wants to create something special.

"A stress-free renovation with outstanding results" – Barry & Penny
Having recently moved to the area, I was concerned that I did not have the contacts to coordinate trades or the time to fully manage the renovations of our recently purchased home.
From my first meeting with Scott I felt comfortable that we could work together. Throughout the renovation Scott and his team provided progress updates and consulted regularly on materials, design and construction.
I am delighted with the quality of work and the ease in which the project ran, resulting in a complete renovation that provides us with great enjoyment.

"A truly iconic Queenslander, crafted just right" – Mick & Jane
We had always dreamed of a classic Queenslander-style home, and after seeing one of Scott’s builds we knew he was the right person to make it happen.
From the start, we felt confident working with Scott. We handed him a simple mud map of our ideas, and he transformed it into a beautiful, custom design while making the whole process remarkably smooth—our best build yet.
Now, every time we drive up the street and see our home, especially with the lights glowing at night, we can hardly believe it’s ours. We couldn’t be happier with the result.

"From dream to reality: our Queenslander journey with shelton homes" – Matt & Jen
We purchased a block of land and wanted a home that suited it perfectly while staying within our budget. After discovering Shelton Homes, we fell in love with their designs—they ticked every box for us.
Price was a key consideration, and Scott worked closely with us to make sure our dream home fit within our budget. His communication was excellent, always taking time to answer questions and make us feel heard. Visiting the site through each stage, even with a toddler in tow, was made easy by the friendly team.
The finished home exceeded our expectations with its quality and craftsmanship. Standing on our verandah overlooking the property feels like a dream come true—we couldn’t be happier with the result.
