"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 questions, answered by experts

Adding a storm shelter can increase the value of a home if you live in an area prone to intense storms. According to the Federal Alliance for Safe Homes, safe rooms can increase the home's sale price by 3.5%. That’s about $10,500 on a $300,000 home, which could be a 100% ROI or more if you build a storm shelter that’s on the smaller side.

Building a house is generally more expensive upfront than moving an existing one. However, the total cost depends on factors such as location, size, materials, labor, and permits. Moving a house can incur significant expenses for transportation, permits, site preparation, and renovations. On the other hand, building a new house allows for customization and may have lower long-term maintenance costs.

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.

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.

Goats need at least 250 square feet of space each, but that’s if you’re also supplementing hay. Since goats are social animals, you’ll want to avoid renting only one goat, which would take a long time to clear your land, anyway. Instead, opt for at least two goats per 500 square feet of land. Most rental companies will only rent out goats by the acre, but check your local goat rental companies to see if they make exceptions.
