"I was so impressed with Luke and team. He came for estimate fast, was extremely reasonably priced. Was able to come two days after I agreed, came on time, finished the work fast, and even did some extra work and stain where needed. Deck and fence repair look great and sturdy. I would recommend All seasons outdoor structures and remodeling in a heartbeat."

"I could not be happier with the results.  I have a very old house built in 1920 with all the quirks and pitfalls that one encounters in an old house.  Paul, Rex and all the subcontractors were responsive and professional throughout the entire process.  They were respectful of my home and my schedule.  The work has been excellent.  I'm so pleased that I'm beginning to plan my next project which is the kitchen and dining room.  I will hire Paul Young Remodeling for that project as well."

"Mess was never a problem, everything was kept inside the bathroom when away or just outside when work was being done.  Obviously very experienced.  Ben did all of our work, and he is extremely intelligent, lots of positive energy and quite a sense of humor, and honest almost to a fault. I was kept very much informed during every aspect of the job.  Oh and tireless, he will just keep working for as long as you let him, great if you want to meet a quick deadline."

"It went great! Richard went above and beyond. Everything was completed on time. I sent him pictures of what we were thinking and he got back to me with a price in our range. He came out to see our bathroom, we set up the costs right then. It was extremely clear who was paying for what and when his portions were to be paid. He was willing to use some supplies we already had to save costs. He recommended things when we were unsure and everything came out great! It's an amazing transformation. We will be sure to call Richard again when needs arise."

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in Excelsior Springs, MO

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.
