"Went extremely well and now have a basement bar. Rob and team were very responsive to my needs. They were very helpful in ensuring I had the right materials and amount of materials needed for the project. Ken was very detailed in his work and easy to work with. They completed the project on time and within the estimate given. I would highly recommend Faith Built and will keep them in mind for future projects."

"Wish I could give this company even more than 5 stars! We have an older home with a cellar basement and our walls were crumbling and letting in water. When tim and his team were done our walls look completely finished and dry. It is a whole new space. We were very impressed by Tims expertise, he was able to look around our old home and point out needed maintenance and repair. His team also cut out old piping in our basement. Added tiger jacks to further secure our structure and raised the sagging in our house. Also added a sub-pump and a new spigot. This team does it all! Not only that but for a very reasonable price. They went above and beyond to make our repairs perfect. Will definitely be using this company for all future work we need done."

"Jason, the company owner great to work with and he genuinely cared about what what my wife and I wanted him to do for us. He showed up on time for our first initial appointment, gave us great options for our roof and windows and chimney topper. They did exactly what they said they would do and were amazing through the whole process. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Friedman Home Improvements for anything that you need remolded or repaired on your house. They do OUTSTANDING WORK to their customers satisfaction. We could not be happier with their services provided to us and we will use them again in the future."

"I messaged them, they responded quickly. I made an appointment and all was good, until the day of the appointment…and they never showed up, they never texted or called me. Update as of 02/20/2025 I need to change my original review. I was angry that the company didn’t show up. But, they reached out and apologized for being unprofessional about the situation. I have another appointment with them and I will update this with new information."

Storm Shelters questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Prefab kits like a small sunroom for around $20,000 or even a basic gazebo roof for as little as $60 can save you big over professional installation. However, you lose the option for customization, and these structures tend not to last nearly as long. As for bigger projects like a deck or patio, you shouldn’t go with the DIY route unless you’re fully prepped with the tools and know-how to get it done right. Mistakes can be frustrating and costly, so choose a pro if you’re looking to eliminate your risk of error.

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.

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.
