"Joel was super fast to respond, and very responsive when I needed to move the visit to another day. When they came out, they were both very nice, and explained what was going on and what needed to be done, while also providing options. I have multiple other projects around the house that are out of my capabilities, so I plan to have Joel do much more for us in the future. Highly recommended!"

"Steven was seemingly nice. We hired him through Angie’s list, but he wanted cash. I came home from work and there was a 10-12 year old child helping him do the work. They not only left the job partially done, but they destroyed FOUR large tiles and left huge cuts and cracks from the tile saw. The job was done so poorly that I was horrified to call this contractor back. We left with an even more destroyed floor with far more damage. The original tile pattern has been discontinued so we cannot even replace the custom tile. Stay away from this very sketchy guy and his under aged chile"

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in Columbus, OH

Most municipalities require a building permit before you install a tornado shelter. That paperwork proves your shelter meets all safety and construction rules—including FEMA P-361 and P-320 guidelines—for extreme weather. Permit fees start at $50 and can run up to $100. 

Check with your local building department first so you know exactly which forms to file, how long approval takes, and whether any extra inspections or fees apply.

Pre-built shelters keep costs down and install in just a few hours, so you’re protected sooner. Because they arrive fully engineered, you skip most on-site construction fees but still get a unit tested to stand up to severe weather. Models come in several sizes and materials, letting you pick the option that best fits your family and budget while still meeting FEMA standards.

A pre-built shelter goes in within four to eight hours. Custom builds—especially ones that need excavation—can stretch into days or even weeks because crews have to prep the site, pour concrete, and assemble the structure piece by piece. The longer timeline simply reflects the extra work needed to hit strict safety standards.

Plan on at least six square feet per person for tornado protection and 10 square feet per person if you also want hurricane coverage. For example, a 5-by-6-foot shelter comfortably fits a family of five. Add extra room for emergency supplies so everyone can move around safely during a long weather event. Enough space keeps your family both protected and comfortable.

If you live where tornadoes or hurricanes are common, a storm shelter isn’t a luxury—it’s a must-have. The reinforced walls guard against high winds and flying debris, giving your family a secure place to ride out the worst weather. Adding one is an investment in peace of mind every storm season.
