"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!!!"

"We hired Galvan Renovations to install a privacy fence in Easley. They did a fantastic job! They were the first to respond, when I started looking for contractors. Additionally they always responded quickly and kindly to any questions I had. The work was done quickly and to perfection. I couldn’t be happier with the job they did!!! They will definitely be the first people I call for any future renovations."

Storm Shelters questions, answered by experts

Yes, barndominiums are designed to withstand strong weather and severe storms if they are built properly by trained professionals. Most barndominiums are made up of a steel structure that can protect a building from winds of up to 150 miles per hour and resist a variety of weather conditions without a major risk of structural damage to the exterior, foundation, or frame.

The choice is really yours. Greenhouses available in kits can make the job go quicker. You can find greenhouse kits to match your style and size needs. If you enjoy designing and planning, you can build your own from materials of your choosing. Just be sure to do your research beforehand so everything ends up structurally sound.

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.

Ranch and colonial-style homes are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average.

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.
