"Working with Jerry was a great experience! He was very knowledgeable about the materials needed and had lots of finish options to choose from. His crew was very good at keeping the mess to a minimum during the process throughout the home. My clients were extremely happy with the work when it was finalized. Jerry took or returned calls very timely and was a great communicator when any delays popped up along the way."

"I had a very positive experience with Bath Planet of Atlanta. They was very responsive and upfront about pricing options, and they patiently answered all of my questions. The technician, was diligent and efficient in executing the job, which was done very skillfully to their high standards. I was left with what feels like a new, fresh, clean bathroom, which should be much easier to keep clean now. I highly recommend Bath Planet if you're considering re-glazing as a more cost-effective alternative to completely retailing and/or replacing your bathtub."

"Kevin showed up promptly each time as promised.  He communicated regularly through e-mail and text.  They were very careful to cover carpet, flooring, and furniture to protect from dirt and dust.  Incredible attention to detail throughout the entire process.  You can't even tell where they cut holes and then patched the ceiling and walls.  Somehow managed to match the paint exactly even though I had no idea of the color.  And they were nice to my dog!

"The company was great! Response time was fantastic. My project was adding an a sunroom onto my home. I gave them my budget, they told me to budget at least 15% more but they ended up coming in on my original budget, which allowed me to get some new electrical done! Best choice I could have made, I have been telling all my friends!"

"Loved my experience with Harvest. Quick, professional service and friendly staff. Highly recommend! I had 3 scheduled quotes from other companies (the only ones to call back and show up). These guys answer the phone, show up on time and the Crew did tear down and new install in TWO days. Couldn’t be happier with the quality. Our fence is beautiful. The installation did a wonderful job!"

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in Atlanta, GA

A bomb shelter is an abode built to withstand disaster. Bomb shelters may refer to a space or bunker that can protect inhabitants through a hypothetical nuclear attack, apocalypse, or any other massive crisis. People usually build bomb shelters underground and stock them to live there a few days to a month at a time. Doomsday bunkers accommodate long-term living rather than just through a short crisis.

Builders construct bomb shelters with reinforced steel, box culvert, concrete, or other durable materials (but many professionals do not recommend shipping containers, as they’re not designed to live underground. If building underground, you’ll first have to excavate land before building the actual structure. You’ll have to implement air and water filtration systems, septic systems, and power supply.

It takes a lot of experience to safely and legally construct a bomb shelter, not to mention make sure it’s fit to live in for extended periods of time. It’s best to talk to a residential structural engineer near you for proper guidance.

The current standard filtration systems require filtering both air and water. For air, you’ll want an NBC filter system, which both domestic and international producers make. NBC stands for Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical, which filters out all three. If you’re only building your shelter for natural disasters, chemical attacks, and biological attacks, you may opt for the less expensive HEPA filter system. 

Water filtration requires the same level of care. You’ll likely want to have a large water storage capacity to survive short-term disasters. For long-term living, you’ll want to have a water filtration system.

Rising S bunker prices depend on the size, ranging anywhere from $20,000 to $9 million. Their least expensive model is 96 square feet while their most expensive model has a gym, swimming pool, hot tub, and bowling alley.

  • Mini: $45,500

  • Standard Bomb Shelter: $67,500–$109,500

  • Silver Leaf: $140,000–$182,500

  • Admiral: $180,000–$500,000

  • Xtreme: $450,000–$780,000

  • Xtreme Bunker Complex: $840,000–$1,830,000

  • Luxury Series: $3,800,000–$9,600,000

You almost always need a permit to build a bunker on land with any type of public utilities running through it. You’ll want to check with your local building code enforcement agency to see if this is the case for your area. 

Because you’re building a structural component that often requires electricity, water, and sewage services, you’ll need to apply for permits to attach these utilities to your new property. However, off-grid-only units in rural areas may not need all or any of the permitting you’d normally find in more urban settings.

To survive a nuclear blast, you’ll need to have your bunker at least three feet underground. However, it’s usually advisable to put it further underground. To survive a close strike, you’ll want to have the bunker at least 10 feet down and with five-foot thick reinforced concrete. However, knowing exactly how deep to build depends on the size of the blast you’re trying to avoid. Most bunkers don’t need to be more than 5 feet below the ground.
