"I was referred to Juan Ramirez by my aunt and have been very satisfied with the work he’s done small and large. Juan has been honest and upfront about costs and comes very close to the estimates he gives. He shows up when he commits and communicates promptly if there’s going to be delays and for how long. Juan has a good eye for detail and creative problem solving. We absolutely love the new roof he put up for us and the clean up afterwards was a big plus. He’s done work on our cottage and has mended fences and other various contract work. He’s quite versatile and has also been a resource for reliable and affordable leads on work he doesn’t do. Not too mention very sweet and patient with my toddler who wants to “help”! Honestly Juan and his partner Jose have been a godsend and we plan on using them for any construction and maintenance work going forward."

"We have used this service many times and every time has been absolutely great. If you need work done and want it done right these are the guys for you. Recently we had an emergency plumbing issue the night before Thanksgiving (crisis mode) our sink was broken and started to leak under the sink in the cabinets. Joseph came out and fixed the issue promptly and our turkey day was saved! Cannot thank them enough. We will definitely use them in the future."

Storm Shelters questions, answered by experts

A storm shelter's size depends on the number of people who will use it and the types of storms it provides protection from. Tornadoes typically only last a few minutes, so you don't need to spend very long in the shelter when one passes by. You'll want a tornado shelter that's big enough to provide 5 square feet of space per person.

Hurricanes usually last much longer than tornadoes, so you may find yourself in the shelter for hours, not minutes, if you’re facing one. If you're installing a hurricane shelter, you'll need at least 7 square feet per person.

The difference between a pole barn and a stick-built barn is in the construction. Large poles in the ground provide support for pole barns. For stick-built barns, 2-by-4 or 2-by-6 lumber (known as sticks) create a frame around load-bearing beams. Stick-built construction is far more popular for residential homes. Pole barns are more cost-effective because they require fewer materials and less labor.

The average cost of building a cinder block storm shelter can range from $3,000 to $20,000 or more, depending on various factors. Size, location, additional features, and customization all influence the overall cost. A smaller, basic shelter might be more budget-friendly, while larger or specialized designs may incur higher expenses. 

In most cases, yes, an outdoor living space adds value to your home. The trick to your best return on investment is to choose high-quality building materials that will look nice and durable without crossing the line into total luxury that becomes cost-ineffective. For example, there’s no need to install marble tiles around your pool, but a durable and aesthetically pleasing deck will go a long way.

Stone houses used to be much more practical, but with the advent of stronger and cheaper materials like concrete, they aren’t seen as much anymore. There are some parts of the world where it makes sense to build with stone, and they are usually next to a stone quarry. Stone is, however, very weather-resistant, which is why many homes near the sea and on mountains are still built with local stone.
