"Ha, the ceiling was quite a project and i was completely impressed by their friendliness and willigness to accommodate my requests. We had to move a LOT of expensive S*** for them to begin the ceiling project and they were respectful of all items. At the same time, they moved like a wild tornado, at a pace and swiftness that amazed me how quick and easy the job was. I appreciated this as we were on a tight schedule which they knew and worked with beautifully. 
Then we had them remove a wall from our home and build a room where our porch used to be. It is by far my favorite room in the house now! I find they know their stuff, move at a great speed, have a good sense of humor, quick wits, and are easy to work with when challenges come up that need to be worked out (as always happens in these kinds of projects). 
I appreciated their sensitivity to our needs and the ways in which they accommodated some of our "impossible" requests. 
The projects came out wonderful! These guys are my first choice for any project, and be sure, we have many more to come. 
Above all, their attitudes rock and it was fun to be around them. They were also great at teaching me anything i wished to know! 
Thanks for the great work guys, keep it up!

"The capacitor on our central air conditioning unit was damaged during a storm. I called Choice Home Warranty and they sent a repair man the next business day. We were repaired and cooling off by afternoon for just the service fee cost! Thanks so much to Choice Home Warranty for their courteous and prompt service!"

"We initially called Mr Hargrove in August for an estimate on painting of the exterior trim, gutters, and around windows and doors, etc. on our two story brick house.  We were very impressed with his punctual call return and his punctual arrival for an estimate.  We needed the house pressure washed and scraped all around as the house had been neglected by the previous owners and needed serious work.  We liked his plan and his estimate and we decided on the spot to hire him and his company as there were many other things that were also going to be needed and we thought "this was our guy for anything that we need"  His crew showed up on the date and time specified and went to work immediately washing and scraping the exterior of the house.  They also had to remove all the storm windows for proper scraping and painting.  It was pretty hot, but his guys showed up every day and did a fantastic job.  We were and still are VERY impressed with the job they did and would hire them again in a minute!  During one particular nasty rain storm we noticed a serious leak in a couple of rooms and told James about it and he went right up on the roof and found where it had leaked and within the next few days, he had put on a new roof on that part of the house and it has not leaked since!  And the new shutters they installed look great!!  We have also had two of our neighbors stop by commenting on how good our house looks and wanted to know who did it and we happily gave them his number!  We are new to this area and we feel very fortunate to have found James Hargrove and his home improvement company and definitely plan on using them again!!

"Saw display at home and garden show.  Researched product and company, then ordered 4X4 shelter via telephone.  Company provided additional details about testing and certification IAW FEMA standards upon request.  Delivery and installation were on time and as promised."

Storm Shelters FAQs, answered by experts

A simple A-frame chicken coop can take as little as three hours to build, but a more substantial all-in-one coop to house a large flock can take four or five days to build. Consult a local handyperson or custom coop builder for a time estimate based on the specific details of your project.

Yes, particularly handy DIYers can build their own storm shelter, especially when using a prefabricated kit and an existing space. However, it is a large project that can take several weeks, requiring significant manual labor and heavy equipment. For these reasons, hiring a professional is often recommended. You should always leave certain jobs to a pro, such as installing an underground shelter, projects requiring site excavation, or any custom-designed structures. These types of builds are complex, labor-intensive, and can cost more in the long run if not executed properly.

The national average cost for a building permit is around $1,600, a figure that typically includes major renovations. Costs can vary significantly depending on the job. For instance, basic construction, plumbing, or minor electrical permits can cost between $10 and $150, while permits for building a new home can reach $2,000 or more. Overall, homeowners typically spend between $150 and $2,000 for one or more permits for a project. Keep in mind that fees may not be flat rates; they can also be calculated as a percentage of the project's cost or size.

There are several ways to save money and keep costs down when building an outdoor kitchen. Building on an existing patio can reduce the cost of a new foundation, especially if it's close to the house. You can also save on utility line installation by opting out of a sink and using a built-in propane or charcoal grill. If you have the skills, tackling parts of the project yourself—like building or finishing cabinets, installing fixtures, and constructing seating—can lead to significant savings. Reusing appliances you already have is another great way to cut costs. Finally, consider starting small with just the essential components and adding more features over time as your budget allows.

Below-ground shelters are the best in terms of durability, but there is a risk of flooding and obstruction. Modern technology and rigorous construction requirements make above-ground shelters a better option for accessibility, safety, and, usually, your budget. They may not have the same aesthetic appeal, but many of their features make above-ground shelters a better option.
