"I needed to have both my exterior doors replaced as I was losing heat around them last winter. I contacted Abraham and he came and took measurements and ordered the doors. He and his assistant installed the doors in 2 days working around my 5 labs. I'm a retired Army Engineer Major and have managed many construction projects. He did an excellent job. I would highly recommend him."

Customers say: True professional

"After years of needing a rehab and the occasional complaint from some of my tenants I finally pulled the trigger and hired this company to do a total gut/demo of my 3 family rental property in Waterville. We had them do everything from updated electrical service and updated plumbing, to new countertops, tile, flooring and they also installed a few mini splits in each unit. My renters are happy and so am I. Thanks for everything Bellevue!!"

Storm Shelters questions, answered by experts

There are energy-efficient options when building a cottage. Select green building materials, high-performance insulation, and energy-efficient windows when designing your cottage. Options such as solar panels, efficient HVAC systems, and LED lighting can lower your utility bills and reduce your environmental impact. Many builders offer energy-efficient upgrades as part of the design process.

Prefabricated storm shelters can be assembled in four to eight hours. On the other hand, the time it takes to install a custom shelter can vary by days or weeks, depending on the builder's timeline and material availability. Bigger, more complicated, and customized shelters will take longer to complete than standard and prefab shelters.

When comparing the costs of portable containers vs. storage units, the monthly rates are often higher for portable containers. However, you don’t have the hassle or potential extra cost of hiring a truck or movers to transport your items to a storage unit location. If you have to add these costs, a portable container can work out better value for shorter-term rentals.

If you can’t repair and repurpose your shed, it might be possible to sell it, donate it, or salvage parts rather than them just ending up in a landfill. Professional junk removal services will advise you on what can and will be recycled. You may also want to keep some parts to upcycle them for other projects around your home. Turning planks from your memory-filled wooden shed into a coffee table or bed headboard is good for the environment and the soul.

The cheapest way to build a storm shelter is by using an above-ground, DIY approach. Building a simple, small above-ground storm shelter using concrete or steel materials can be more cost-effective than purchasing pre-made shelters or constructing elaborate structures. However, it's crucial to ensure that the shelter meets safety standards and is capable of protecting against severe weather events. Always consult local building codes and regulations and consider hiring a storm shelter builder near you to ensure the shelter's structural integrity and effectiveness.
