A New Chapter for Shelter Alternatives

Dear Friends and Partners,

We’re excited to share an important update about Shelter Alternatives and Energy Check. As of January 1st, ownership of the company has transitioned to Leah Simmerman, Justin Buehler, and Chris Nicholson; all longtime members of the Shelter team.
After more than two decades of dedicated leadership, Ed Tuchler is retiring and has entrusted the future of Shelter Alternatives to his hand-picked successors. We are deeply grateful to Ed for the integrity, vision, and steady leadership he has modeled over the years. He has built a strong foundation, and we are proud to continue to build upon it.
Together, the three of us bring nearly 30 years of combined experience with Shelter Alternatives. We care
deeply about this company, the people we work alongside, and the community we serve. As new owners, we are committed to carrying forward the vision and values that have come to de/ne Shelter. Our dedication toquality craftsmanship, environmental responsibility, and thoughtful, creative design will always remain fundamental to who we are. We look forward to holding tight to these values while thoughtfully evolving our operations to continue to serve our clients, trade partners, and community for years to come.
Thank you for being part of Shelter’s story. We are grateful for your trust and partnership, and we’re excited for what lies ahead.

Warmly,
Leah Simmerman
Justin Buehler
