"We hired this company to do a major renovation to our home, which included replacing flooring throughout the house, removing popcorn ceilings and painting throughout the house, kitchen and half bathroom remodel, new lighting, total renovation of our FROG to include built-in cabinets. The workers were prompt and professional, the owner Rafael was very available with any questions and they worked well with me with changes I made throughout the project. Also, they were flexible with me as far as scheduling work in the rooms that were cleared out, as we remained living in the home during this project and it worked out very well! Below are before and after pic of the kitchen and the FROG."

"I had the roofs replaced and skylights on my 5 bedroom ranch house with attached garage and re-roof a detached gambrel roofed barn. Bevins also installed aluminum trim, vinyl soffit around the house and replaced all the gutters. All the jobs couldn't have gone better! All the crews were extremely polite and professional; their work exceeded my expectations. I would hire them again and highly recommend Bevins to others."

"They were really good. They did a really good job. I was really happy with them. I even had him do some other stuff and he did it. It was a really hard job. He was under there and there were all kinds of stuff. I didn’t have critters or anything, but people who had lived in my house before had put a toilet in there. I paid him to remove that and he did. He did a really good job and now it’s all clean. Tell the one that did that, that it was actually such a good job. It was excellent, "A+" work. He just really helped me so good, he was so good."

They arrived on time and were very precise about what they were going to do.  Jimmy, the owner, checked the ceiling in my den where I had had a leak.  He checked the ceiling for me and got paint to match my ceiling and covered over the spot.  We have had three snow storms this year and no leak has appeared where it was fixed.

There were separate crews for the siding and for the roofing.  They crews came on time and did an excellent job of cleaning up after themselves.  My new roof looks great.  They had also replaced some siding for me which didn't quite match when it was done.  I called and they came out to check it.  They are ordering other siding and I expect them to be replacing it soon.  In addition, they are excellent about providing someone to do other jobs.  One of the workers thought he had broken my doorbell (it was working only erratically at the time) and spent some time trying to fix it.  It wasn't their fault, but they have promised to fix my doorbell with a better one, in any case. 

All of the workers were polite, efficient, and capable.  I was able to reach the company when I had a question.  I would recommend them without reservation.

"I had the pleasure of working with QualityFirst to get my house rental-ready. From start to finish, the team demonstrated professionalism, expertise and attention to detail and quality. With stellar and consistent communication throughout, Ryan and the team were more than willing to answer any questions I had, as well as collaborate with me throughout the entire process. The renovations were prompt, within budget and met to the highest standard of quality. I would recommend QualityFirst to anyone looking for property renovations. I will be looking forward to working with them again!"

Storm Shelters FAQs, answered by experts

Options include traditional mortgages, construction loans, and personal loans. Consult lenders specializing in modular home financing.

This answer varies based on where you are, but most states require that all homes are greater than 320 square feet. Remember that four walls are not the only requirements—windows, closet space, minimal ceiling heights, and indoor air quality are also factors. Each state and municipality differs, though, and as some don’t consider tiny homes permanent shelters, you’ll need to check to ensure you aren’t violating any local or state laws with your build.

Tiny houses, often called tiny homes, need between 100 to 400 square feet, with the most common size being between 200 and 300 square feet. Tiny houses more than 400 square feet venture into apartment-size dwellings and may be considered more of a traditional house than a tiny home. The number of occupants, desired lifestyle, and furniture will all be major factors that determine the desired tiny house size.

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.

It is almost always more affordable to buy an existing home than to build a new one. Building a home involves numerous costs, including labor, permits, inspections, utility hookups, and brand-new materials, finishes, and appliances. Additionally, new construction loans can have higher interest rates than traditional mortgages, and property taxes on new homes are often higher, increasing long-term costs. An exception is a DIY house build, which can be cheaper than buying an existing home if you do the labor yourself. While building is generally more expensive, a new custom home offers complete control over the layout and design. Furthermore, new construction is typically worth more than a comparable pre-owned home and may provide a better return on investment if sold quickly.
