At East TN Trades we specialize in custom decks and porches as well as many other forms of finish carpentry and wood working.

"We had just purchased a home and wanted to enclose our screened in back porch. East TN Trades came out immediately to take a look at the scope of work, and I had a quote in my inbox within just a few business hours (not days). After receiving several previous outlandishly priced quotes from other impersonal contractors, I was excited to be given a very reasonable and exceptionally detailed quote by ETT. Our experience with ETT was unlike any I have every experienced with a contractor. I was given daily updates on the progress, received immediate answers to any question I had, and was blown away by the craftsmanship of the entire team. I can honestly say they went above and beyond what I was expecting. Naaman was referred to me by a friend, and I am so glad he was. If I ever have any major work needing done around our house again, I will not hesitate to reach out to them, and encourage anyone to do the same!"

Shelter or outbuilding building services FAQs

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.
