"We wanted a detached garage. We liked Vicars Construction reviews and hired them. Their workers were very professional & easy to work with. They built us a beautiful garage and we are really enjoying it. We would recommend them to anyone planning a building project. If in the future we have other building projects we will certainly call on them."

"Rich’s construction did an amazing job for us. He was prompt and did exactly what we asked for. Our job was very large and we kept adding things (like whole bathrooms, etc). He priced them promptly and stayed with us until it was all completed. I can’t say enough good things about him and his company. Highly recommended!!!"

"Jonathan and his team did a fantastic job on our fence and gates. Everything was done in a timely manner and they were very precise with their measurements and materials. He communicated with us very well to let us know what was happening and was very polite. They also cleaned up every material and tool used at the end of every day. They were very careful and did great work. We would highly recommend them for future projects."

"Great. I have used Aarics for my irrigation system for a couple of years and they mentioned that they did landscape lighting. We are very pleased with the work that they did. They used good quality lights and finished in a timely way despite poor weather. Aarics worked with us on the scope of the project to meet our budget."

Storm Shelters FAQs, answered by experts

While a romantic getaway in a vacation treehouse may sound appealing, building one to live in year-round comes with more challenges. However, a growing number of people are adopting this small-scale living approach to appreciate an off-the-grid, private lifestyle. It allows you to feel closer to nature in a sustainable, customizable, minimalist, and eco-friendly way.

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. 

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 maximum size of a tiny home you can move depends on your state transportation guidelines, but the rule of thumb is a maximum of 400 square feet. However, as long as it falls within the local limits for traveling on public roadways, you should be good to hit the road.

Renting the right type of storage unit is sometimes a more practical alternative to renting a storage container if you don't need regular access to your items. It saves you from having an unsightly container sitting on or near your property, you won't have to worry about permits, climate-control facilities are safer for some items, and you'll have peace of mind from on-site security.
