"The work on the fence, and also a gate replacement was outstanding. They started their work on time and finished on time. A very detailed cleanup was performed after installing the fence to make sure everything was put back to what it was before they started. I would definitely recommend this company for any fence work that you may need done."

"I echo what others have already said. The team moved very quickly and did a quality job. They built the entire carport in a single day and just had some final touches left on day 2. Remington delivered everything he said he would and more. I will be contacting for additional work very soon."

"We were very impressed with the job John, of Ever-Green Garage Doors did. He kept in good contact with us, was flexible, punctual, and fully provided all of the relevant information up front so there was no misunderstanding. The work was performed very well at the agreed-upon price, and completed on time. We were impressed with John's effort to make sure the wireless system worked with the Wifi app, and that we were comfortable with how everything worked. An excellent experience all around for us. We would recommend them highly!"

I purchased a Deal in February, but due to unforeseen delays was not able to use the deal until July.  Everyone I spoke with at SL Green was understanding of the delays in scheduling and very helpful.  I sent pictures of my projects via email and received timely responses. When the two man crew, Brian and Rich, arrived, they were on time and ready to work.  We first discussed the projects to make sure we were all on the same page and then they got to work.  The communication skills, work ethic, knowledge, and professionalism of Rich and Brian were amazing.  They both had a "can do" attitude and made sure all projects were completed to our satisfaction.  It was a pleasure having them work in our home and we would not hesitate to hire SL Green for any other projects.  Overall it was one of the best experiences in our months of remodeling.

"Mark Myers and son were absolutely amazing in the renovations done to my Vancouver, Washroom 3 bedroom 2 bath home with entertainment basement. The home is a craftsman in need of some TLC and Myers worked on it beautifully and stayed within my budget. I will not seek any other contractor in the Washington area ever as long as Myers is in business. I should also mention that for the renovation and window replacement, Myers offered a very competitive price while other contractors I had met with quoted me $10K more for the same work that Mark performed. Outstanding they go above and beyond with pride behind their work! You will not regret your decision to with them!"

"Quality Calvary Construction did a fantastic job I was very pleased with every aspect of their work. When they came across something that wasn't included in the bid they came to me and explained exactly what needed to be done and what it would cost me. I really appreciated their integrity.

"I cannot speak highly enough of Tom and Brad Green of Colonial Restorations. We have lived in our antique house for 16 years now, and like most old homes, some of its previous repairs were good, some not so good. Tom Green worked on this house for its previous owners, and his work was, by far, the best in the house. So, we continued to use Colonial - Tom, then Tom and Brad - as we learned the ropes about caring for an old house - our first house, old or new. Over the years, they have replaced sills and posts and beams, and rebuilt parts of our loose stone foundation. Most recently, they replaced the last original posts in our basement, (one of which was a tree trunk still with bark on it), including pouring new custom footings, in advance of our finally cementing the dirt floor. The work here is never easy - nothing is level, nothing is square - but the Greens' end result has always been beautiful - strong and made to last. Their prices are fair and without hidden costs....maybe not the lowest bid you might get, but you know it's a real bid that they will stand behind. They triage projects for us, giving us an idea of what other items will likely need attention in the next few years. We're not done with this house yet....we've never won the lottery, and there's always another repair..... and plan to use them again soon. I feel confident knowing that the next owners of this house, whoever they might be, will see the quality of the work and know that we cared enough to have the right people help us with the ongoing repair and maintenance of a 275+ year old house. I am a real person, a real customer, with no ties to the company, and was more than happy to write this review."

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in Camas, WA

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.
