Elite Builder's specializes in custom decks and porches, offering high-quality construction and design to enhance your outdoor living spaces with style, durability, and functionality!
"When Blake came out and saw the problem he defined his solution but before he started the project he called to say he thought about it and had a better solution for the same cost. That’s what impressed me most. 3 other contractors refused to even quote on the project because in their words it was too complicated. Blake actually applied his knowledge and experience and solved my problem and at a reasonable cost."

"He was supposed to start on November 9 called off and did show up on November 10 to install the thermostat that I provided. He worked on it for couple hours and then told me that the thermostat was faulty. He told me to return it and he would buy one and return the next day. After he left, I noticed one of the prongs were bent and I straightened it out and the thermostat worked and the heater kicked on. He still maintained that it was faulty, so I did return it and he came back with one exactly like it the next day. I reimbursed him for that. Again, he worked on it for a couple hours and the same issue that we’ve had from the beginning of the fan not turning off remained. He told me that there is no way it’s wired wrong so it has to be in the unit asked for payment which I gave him $125 in cash. I might add that he used my tools which I found quite odd. I ended up having to call out another contractor because he told me it had to be the unit. Cliffs informed me that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the unit and he even referred to it as “Cherry“ He checked everything out and then asked me about the thermostat and I said it was brand new and installed through Angi. He took the cover off and in a split second said I see exactly what the problem is. It’s c wired wrong. (THIS WOULD MEAN THL WIRED IT WRONG TWICE) He pointed out the green wire should not be connected at all. That is what is making the fan run continuously. He disconnected the wire and it worked perfectly. This cost me $218.00 for the service call/tune up."

"I Needed to setup a drill press in my basement. I recently had back surgery and wasn't able to do it myself. So I went online to Angie aka Angie's List. Bowen Construction reached out immediately and offered a great price. So it was a no Brainer to choose Bowen Construction. When Rick Bowen showed up, he easily assembled drill press and made adjustments to get it running smoothly. Thanks to Rick’s attention to detail, right before leaving he was studying the picture he took of drill press and noticed that it wasn't level. So he came back and fixed it. I love my new drill press. I would recommend Bowen Construction to anyone who needs a handyman. Thank you."

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.
