"I contracted with Ancient City to build a screen porch addition and replace my existing shingle roof with metal. I wanted a stick-built structure cut into the existing roof as opposed to just adding a box on the back. The finished result was just what I wanted. Everyone who worked on the house was very professional and courteous. Everything was permitted as required and passed inspections first time every time. They subbed out the roof as I expected but I wanted to have the same general contractor on both parts of the job since the porch roof would be integrated into the existing roof. Roofing crew also did a great job. I would definitely hire Ancient City again."

"I cannot begin to express my gratitude for the amazing job Angel’s Construction did with my new vinyl fence! First their team arrived on time and they were prepared to get to work upon their arrival. Their service delivery was most professional, and they were very courteous of my property and flexible when it came time for me to let the dogs out. They truly listened to what was important to me and delivered on their promises! They explained to me the timeframe of how long it would take and sure enough they lived up to their word on that as well. The prices were comparable with other fencing companies however, what made them stand out was not only their outstanding customer centered service, but their prices Were better at the end of the day. My fence looks outstanding and truly adds curb appeal to the house! I am extremely grateful for the outstanding customer centered service and quality workmanship from Angel’s Construction!"

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in Jacksonville, FL

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.
