"Ian from Rettle Enterprise was very professional. When I called him, he came. He looked at the work and gave me an estimate for both times. And when he started the work, he kept me posted -- constantly kept in touch with me. When the work was finished, it was excellent. I was very happy. I'm actually contacting him again for another work at my house. I recommend him highly."

"They came out after buying a great deal thru AL, he was right on time, he walked the site and told me what need it to be done, he advised on some extra work that need it to be done. We agreed he would come back to fix the issues we discussed. The first time someone else showed up on an unmarked van. The van was parked outside my house for sometime and it wasn't until my wife told me there was someone on the roof I realized he was there to do the job. Did not like that there was no communication, I was not told the guy was on his way, the guy did not tell me he was there to do the job or called prior to getting on the roof. It could've been an accident if I thought he was there for other reason.
I also had an issue since they responded to my first inquiry right away but somewhere in between the communication stopped until after the job was done and payment was expected. Again the first guy that came out was great, the guy that came to do the job was good but also told me about other things I did not talk to the first guy about, also promoting his own bussiness, which lead me to believe he was a sub-contractor. 
      I decided to go with them for another job, again quick initial response I was told about a date in which they would come out and ...nothing, 3 weeks later here they come to do the job after I had talked to other companies to do it. Luckily the other companies could not come out until later therefore I allowed the to do the job, plus we decided on a cheaper price. I was home and did not want other guys to try to scare my wife into spending extra on something we may or not need.
     Again seems to be a scheduling/communication problem, the guys seem legit, good price and know what they are doing, but they need to talk to each other (office and site techs) and communicate with the customer.
     I would try them one more time, if any issues then I would have to move on to another company for my roofing needs.

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in East Stroudsburg, PA

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.
