"We are extremely pleased with the work done by C&S. Eddie is a true craftsman, and it shows! The carport and porch they built for us exceeded our expectations in quality and price. All I had to do was show Eddie a printout of the carport we liked, and he made it happen. He and Sheila walked us through the customizations we wanted and even suggested a few more! We were so pleased that we hired them to build two decks on the back of our home. I know who to call if I ever need more construction work on my home. Highly recommend!"

Professional welder that takes great pride in every weld I make and in everything I repair or build. I physically cannot walk away from my work until it’s 100% complete and up to my standards as well as yours. PERFECT is my standard and nothing less. I just restarted my business after taking some time off to take care of some family matters. All of my work previously was by word of mouth, I never advertised. I did 1 job and I think they bragged to the whole world because I ended up getting more work than I could handle. Every client after did the same. My work always speaks for itself. I promise to always do quality work with my safety as well as yours in mind. I can weld practically every process known to man (TIG, Stick, MIG, Fluxcore, High Frequency TIG, Oxy/Acetylene). I am proficient in all alloys (Carbon, Stainless, Chromoly, Inconel, hastalloy, Aluminum, Titanium, Nickel). Been welding professionally for 28 years. I’m very skilled in X-Ray pipe welding and structures.

"Mr. Westbrook was easy to get in touch with and was able to quickly understand my needs - he put together a proposal quickly and got started over the winter holidays.  We had design meetings to go through the initial sketch and feedback was noted for refinement.  The output was clean and to my expectations.  I would use Wally Westbrook Designs again for future commercial projects.

"We had gone through 2 other contractors that drug their feet and ended up ghosting us. Within a week or so Chris had all the details worked out through insurance, materials at the house and guys on the roof. They cleaned up EVERYTHING. I have yet to find a roofing nail or any debris. Bottom line Zeeks is a great family own and operated business!"

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in Canton, TX

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.
