"I hired them to build a 16x20 ft paver patio in August of 2022, by the end of April 2023 the project manager told me there is not much more they could do to make the patio better and I had to pay them the full amount. Even though they claim to have many years of experience, the low quality of craftsmanship does not reflect their years of experience. The patio is not square and there are many visible gaps in between pavers making it an eye sore and everyone that comes to visit is always surprised to hear the amount of money I payed for the project. It has been a very expensive lesson learned for me"

"Excellent! The Sundogs, crew of 3, did a marvelous job of changing my wet and moist basement into a beautiful apartment. Floor was removed and a subcontractor hired to replace the floor after complicated drainage system and sump pumps were installed. Due to the small crew and the complicated problems, it took longer to finish, but I have now a beautiful apartment in my basement. They are dear and honest people who work hard. Thank you Sundogs!"

"Heirloom Homes, led by their foreman Jason, exceeded our expectations in every way. What started as a simple trim and wall painting project quickly evolved into a full-scale home remodel—simply because of Jason’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship. From the beginning, his attention to detail and high standards were obvious. He was very firm with all the contractors he brought in in a way we could NEVER do. As we saw his work come to life, we kept adding new projects, confident that he would deliver nothing short of excellence. Before we knew it, our entire home had been transformed. Jason seamlessly blended old with new, ensuring that every addition fit perfectly with the vintage farmhouse aesthetic we love. The kitchen remodel was especially impressive—he custom-built additional cabinets to match our existing ones, applied a beautiful patina finish, leveled the floors, installed new flooring, upgraded the sink and lighting fixtures, and even designed a custom dining table to complement the space. The bathrooms were just as stunning, with completely remodeled spaces, crazy good tile work, and a breathtaking floor-to-ceiling steam shower (we LOVE it!) Beyond the big projects, Jason and his team handled everything from custom motorized window shades to new stairs, complete interior and exterior painting, and countless other details that elevated our home to a whole new level. If you’re looking for a contractor who truly cares about quality, craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction, we can’t recommend Heirloom Homes enough. Jason has an incredible eye for detail and the ability to bring a vision to life while maintaining the character of a home. We are beyond thrilled with the results and grateful for the care and expertise he put into every part of our renovation."

You need to secure a permit for a tornado shelter when local building codes require it. A permit confirms that your shelter meets safety and construction standards to withstand extreme weather events. FEMA guidelines P-361 and P-320 establish these safety requirements. Permit costs range from $430 to $2,240. Contact your local building department to verify the necessary permits and ensure full compliance with all regulations.
Yes, FEMA will fund up to 75% of your storm shelter installation if all eligibility conditions are met. FEMA allocates funds to state authorities where strict guidelines determine approval and disbursement. Contact your State Hazard Mitigation Officer to determine your funding options and initiate the required process. Secure the necessary documentation to access this financial support.
Tornado shelters add significant value to a home by enhancing both safety and market appeal. A secure storm shelter not only increases the resale value by up to 50% of the unit cost but also provides multifunctional benefits in areas prone to severe weather. Homeowners who integrate features like a gun safe or wine cellar maximize their investment and overall home desirability.
A pre-built storm shelter delivers distinct benefits by reducing overall costs and installation time. A pre-built unit eliminates extensive on-site construction expenses and comes in a variety of sizes and materials to suit different family needs. This design flexibility provides robust protection, ensures rapid installation, and secures your home against extreme weather conditions.
The installation time for a tornado shelter depends on the type chosen. Pre-built shelters are installed in four to eight hours, providing a rapid and secure solution. Custom-made shelters or those that require land excavation demand significantly longer time, taking days or weeks due to extensive preparation, structural assembly, and precise installation to fully meet safety standards.
Space is a critical factor in a storm shelter. FEMA mandates a minimum of six square feet per person for tornado protection and ten square feet per person for hurricane safety. For example, a 5-by-6-foot shelter meets the needs of a family of five in a tornado-prone area. Extra room accommodates emergency supplies and ensures safe, comfortable movement during severe weather events.
