"Stars and Stripes Home Improvement was the best company we could have chosen for our bathroom remodel! They were creative with the ideas on what styles and special extra touches to add to our bathroom (with the added perk of being extremely fair on pricing!) The gentleman who did the work were trustworthy, respectful and extremely hardworking. The bathroom is honestly a work of art and we are OBSESSED! I’ve used many other companies before for home remodeling and I would never go with anyone but Stars and Stripes again!"

Ambassador Home Improvement has been recognized as a top renovation and construction company by many homeowners on Long Island. One main reason is that we are one of the few residential contracting companies on Long Island with an "all in-house" team of professionals. Another is due to the value our clients receive in cost, quality of materials and turnaround time. Contact us today for a free consultation.

"From the day we hired Ambassador Home Improvement my wife & I were blown away by the company's professionalism. Unlike other contractors, our project manager was on site daily coordinating with their brilliant carpenters. Every team of professionals they brought in did a great job as well, making significant improvements to my homes plumbing & electrical systems. There were no surprise chargers or fees and our project stayed within the budget unless we chose an added service. I would highly recommend Ambassador to anyone looking to do a home project. They worked every day, never disappeared and once, when we had an issue with our HVAC, Joe our project manager moved heaven & earth to get someone here during a heat wave! They were able to get my system back on that same day! There is no job too big or small for them. Please think Ambassador for your next home project."

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.
