"Jeff did a great job with our projects. He completed each project with experience, knowledge, and attention to detail. He installed hardwood floors, tiled our master bathroom, removed wallpaper, and painted the interior of our house. The tiling and hardwood install were precise, with no margin for error. The painting looks great. We would definitely hire Jeff again!"

Storm Shelters FAQs, answered by experts

If you’re building a pole barn in place of a traditional home, lenders usually don’t offer traditional mortgages for these structures. You can also expect higher insulation costs and building permits may not be allowed in your area. Even if you’re just using a pole barn as storage or as a shelter for animals, these structures are less durable than steel buildings and require more maintenance.

Storage lockers are much smaller than storage units. A stocker locker is typically about 20 square feet, whereas storage units can stretch up to 200 square feet. Storage lockers are an affordable option for small-storing needs like decluttering or moving. 

It depends on your budget and what you’re trying to achieve. If you’re looking for a fast and easy solution, buying a cooler or prefabricated root cellar is a good choice. 

But, if you want ample storage space to house your many fruits, vegetables, and root crops, you should build a root cellar for the long term.

Below-ground shelters are the best in terms of durability, but there is a risk of flooding and obstruction. Modern technology and rigorous construction requirements make above-ground shelters a better option for accessibility, safety, and, usually, your budget. They may not have the same aesthetic appeal, but many of their features make above-ground shelters a better option. 

If you live in an area where hurricanes and tornadoes pose a serious risk to your safety, storm shelters aren’t only worth it—they’re a must for keeping you and your family safe. However, if you live in a region that doesn’t experience extreme weather, a storm shelter may not be the most sensible option for you.
