"We had an excellent experience working with RJ Construction. They renovated our existing deck, replacing some rotted support posts, demolishing and replacing the deck rail, and related work. They have been in business a long time. The owner provided good expert advice to guide our choice of products and materials when formulating the contract. The work crew was unobtrusive and highly skilled. They started and completed the work within the time promised. And they have been responsive to a couple of post-contract concerns. They provided a valuable combination experience, quality, responsiveness and service at a fair price and we highly recommend them."

"Manny was great! Hanged, taped, mudded, and sanded roughly 8.5' X 8' wall that I framed... had 'my studs' not been slightly twisted, bowed and warped the wall would be 100% perfect. Manny's work was excellent and the wall is smooth no divots or gaps. I provided the drywall and corner bead. Will definitely hire Manny again!"

"It was a great experience. They exceeded my expectations. A team of detail oriented professionals made my dreams come true. They treated my house and belongings as if it was their own. I could have not found a better group to handle the job. I’m a very detail oriented person but these guys left me speechless."

The technician called when he was at my residence and not the 30 minutes before arrival as they promised, but he was there on time as scheduled. I asked the technician how much to replace the bottom 2 rollers and he replied $100. I didn't think this was a good or fair discount but gave my approval fearing it would cost more to hire someone else to finish the job. After the technician left, I noticed some debris from the repair behind my car. I had to sweep it up. Out of curiosity, I called JW Home Improvement on Angies List Monday (9/29) which has garage door roller replacement deal as well but for $99. I talked to manager Paul and asked him if their deal included replacement of the bottom 2 rollers of the door and he replied 'yes'.

"This review is long overdue.  Dave Bennington and his crew (especially project manager John) did a top notch job on our deck/enclosed sun porch project.  Dave was extremely responsive, competitive on price and prompt.  Even in the extreme heat of this past summer, he had his guys get as much done before the day got too hot to try to stay on schedule.  I am happy to speak with anyone who is thinking about hiring Bennington Builders and would not hesitate to hire them on a future project.  My wife and I are very particular and Dave expertly dealt with all our requests.

"James, the owner of the company, spent time with us explaining, in
detail, the options and trade-offs in planning our new screened patio
and sun deck.  One other company we contacted was less helpful and
patient--a third company never returned our call. The time spent by
James--and a site visit to a screened porch he had built earlier--made
us comfortable in selecting Design Builders although the price was well
above a competing bid. We are happy with the screened porch/deck. It is a
quality job, looks great, and James followed through on everything he
said he would. At times, it took a bit of patience on our part, but that
is almost always the case with a significant construction project.  You
pay for quality--and we received that quality from Design Builders.

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in Clarksburg, MD

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.
