Three generations of builders, installing South Florida windows, doors, and roofs since 1981 - now under one name.
The Titan story starts long before the name. In 1981, Donald W. Shackelford - a Florida Professional Engineer and the father of our founding principals - was building in South Florida the way things should be built. Not "to code" - beyondcode. Not "good enough" - actually correct.
Brandon and Shane grew up on his job sites and came up through the family business - drafting tables, project management, crews - installing windows, doors, and roofs across South Florida for decades under their father's standard. In 2024 they formed Titan Builders to put that lifetime of work under one name - licensed in both general contracting (CGC1537612) and roofing (CCC1334624), a combination that's uncommon in Florida and means a single company can handle both your impact-windows project and your roof.
The "Titan" in our name isn't marketing. It's the standard the brothers inherited. Build it like a Titan. Outlast the next storm. Outlast the next code revision. Outlast the next owner.
That's the operating principle on every job site. Forty-five years of family installs in, we'll still rip out a wall we just sheathed if we don't like how the corner came together. We've never had to, but we would.
We've been asked many times what makes Titan different. The honest answer is spelled out in our name - the five things we won't compromise on.
South Florida tests everything. We build past code, not just to it - and we don't leave until it's right.
Honest pricing, honest timelines, honest answers - even when it isn't what you hoped to hear.
Real-time dashboards, photos, and dates. You always know exactly where your project stands.
Every outcome is ours to own. If something isn't right, we make it right - no excuses, no runaround.
A 1981 builder run like a 2026 software company - the craftsmanship of one era, the speed of the next.
We're a family company. Half the people on the leadership team share a last name. The other half feel like they do.

Drives the financial strategy and technology transformation that sets Titan apart. From real-time project dashboards to AI-powered scheduling, Craig is why a team that's been installing since 1981 operates like a 2026 software company.
Most contractors run on phone calls, paper notebooks, and "I'll get back to you on that." We don't - and the difference shows up in your project.
You see every milestone, every photo, every payment, every inspection. No more "any update?" texts to a project manager who's on a roof.
An in-house permit team filing directly with municipal portals - not subbed out to a permit expediter. Our average permit time is 80% under the South Florida industry average.
Sub-meter roof measurements from satellite imagery before our team ever climbs a ladder. Faster estimates, more accurate quotes, less guessing.
Crew availability, material lead times, weather forecasts, inspection slots - all routed through scheduling software that finds the fastest correct path to your finish line.
The list is short and verifiable. Each one is held by Titan Builders LLC directly - not subcontracted or borrowed.
Three generations in the trade, two offices in South Florida (Fort Lauderdale and Naranja), and a payroll where most of our team grew up within an hour of where they work.
We don't operate out of an out-of-state call center. We don't subcontract to crews you'll never meet again. When you call Titan, you're calling a company that lives where you live - and whose reputation depends on the same neighbors, HOAs, building inspectors, and insurance adjusters you deal with.
Most of our work comes from referrals and repeat customers. That's not an accident. It's the only way a crew keeps working in this market for 40+ years.
We've done quiet work supporting local nonprofits, schools, and a few specific community projects we won't list because the people involved would hate the publicity. We mention this only because if you're choosing between contractors, the family that's been installing in your community for four decades has a different incentive than the one that showed up last quarter.
Whether it's a single window replacement, a full impact retrofit, a roof, or a commercial build - start with a free consultation. A licensed Titan advisor will walk you through what you're considering and what makes sense.
