William Payne is focused on quality contracting and on providing the best service to every one. I am a Member of Pickens county Builders association and have a Business LLC in Cherokee county ,permit, remodeling, and I run into a lot of so call tire kickers and don't think every one know /W/C, General liability, auto insurance for coming in and out of subdivisions, plus lot of years infield training, have and will do most all phases of remodeling from A to Z we support fix up paint up clean up/can we be of help
"We started on May the first and completed this weekend 6/28/00. We did have a delay of a couple of weeks because of the double hung double windows 60" x 72" windows. Also we originally were just going to do the 12x15 screened in porch and leave the 10x12 deck that was attached alone. By the end of it we had enclosed the entire 12x25 of porch and deck opened up the wall in 3 spots two to allow walking through and one that we are putting shelves in to give light to the existing living room. The bottom line it took a bit longer then expected and sometimes we were wanting things to go faster then the builder could get done, but bottom line it was done well and when complete, was better then expected. We did some of the contracting for our floors but I know our builder would have done it as well we just wanted a bit more control. William is a bit of a character just a good old boy from here in the south. Don't let that put you off he does a good job and was very fare in his price and after our experience with the last builder we had a refreshing change. I would recommend him to do any remodeling work that you have."

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.
