"Kevin built us a custom storage shed, and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. It looks amazing—so much so that neighbors have actually stopped to compliment it! I’m pretty picky about details, and this definitely met my expectations. Kevin is honest, easy to work with, and clearly knows his stuff. There were a couple of small bump: his invoices were a bit hard to follow and getting him back to wrap up the final touches took a little extra effort, but in the end the shed is fantastic and I am very satisfied. I’d definitely recommend Kevin to anyone looking for quality custom work."

"Chris was able to put double closets in our bedroom. They now look like they have always been there. The work was done quickly quietly and efficiently. Pricing was very reasonable and the finish quality was excellent. I’ve seen other examples of his work and it’s well designed and definitely top quality. Happy to have worked with him."

Customers say: Quick response

"We had an excellent experience working with Joe Lane last spring, when we hired him and his team to make some repairs to our small cabin on the ledge of a steep mountain. Joe gave us a very reasonable estimate, which he stuck with. He also worked with us to find the best time of year to get his truck and materials up the steep slope, and was great about staying in communication with us throughout the process. We asked him to convert the cabins small attic into a loft, with a ladder/stairs to get up there and a new window. The results were beyond what we were expecting - the finished product was absolutely stunning, and completely transformed the whole space. The quality of the work was exceptional, the communication was great, and Joe and his brother and dad were lovely to work with. I cant recommend this company highly enough."

Storm Shelters FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Building a new home can be more expensive than buying an existing one, depending on the housing market in your area. Many homeowners still find that building a new house is worth the investment as they can choose the exact layout they want, as well as to choose their own floors, wall coverings, appliances, and finishes. If you live close enough to the build site, you can also stop by to check on the builder’s progress, which can provide some peace of mind that the project is worth it.

The time it takes to build a cinder block storm shelter depends on various factors, such as size, complexity, and weather conditions. Generally, construction can take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months. Proper planning, obtaining permits, hiccups in the building process, and finishing touches all contribute to the timeline. 

While it may require some patience, the end result will be a reliable and secure shelter ready to protect you and your loved ones during severe weather events.

There's no simple answer to which is less costly: wood or metal-framed homes. In most cases, metal building components cost more than wooden ones, while entire metal buildings cost less than wooden versions. However, regardless of the exterior framing or structure, each must meet similar building codes. This means that the costs are about the same, even considering that wood will require more maintenance than metal over time.

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.
