"The nicest and hardest working construction crew and company Iâ ve ever dealt with. Extremely excellent customer service. Employees showed up several minutes earlier than expected every morning. The large crew always work together along with the boss doing a lot of grunt work himself. They laughed and really seem to enjoy doing their job together as a team. We could not be happier with the driveway that we have waited for for 10 years."

"If I could do minus on the stars I would give a -5 stars. This company is horrible and Skylar Jump is rude beyond beleif. He came out and did the bid for the job, and he told me what it would cost me. 1/2 down and the other 1/2 upon completion of the job. They installed new drywall but did not make it flush at the corners, leaving big gaps and putting in large gouges. He and his crew left garbage all over the yard, stole materials and left my house compromised and exposed to the elements. Also damaged some of my vintage furniture from the Hoquiam Castle. So no replacing those. He was calling me and his crew inappropriate names and telling me that I don't listen, constantly interrupting me and told me that my family member who is an expert in siding doesn't know anything and started dising people. Also will not give you a receipt for money paid and will not give you a break down of the job. Also, when picking up materials from Home Depot, he will charge materials for another job onto your account. Do not hire this company unless you want to punish yourself and lose your money."

We have been in business since 1994. We specialize in anything and everything to do with your home. General remodeling, kitchens, bathrooms, decks and more! Three employees.

"I have used Contreras Renovations on a business and personal basis for over 25-years, and have come to appreciate and depend on the quality, pricing, and reliability of Rafael and Hector. They have been punctual, tidy and impecabilly honest. And are actually a lot fun to work with! After I retired, I was elected as the director of buildings and grounds at our condo development. In that capacity I hired Contreras Renovations to remodel our entire development over four-years. I’m delighted to say that after completion we are enjoying a beautiful restored community thanks to this Rafael and Hector at Contreras Renovations. I highly recommend this company."

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in Kent, WA

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.
