"I asked Shed Doctors for a quote to build an large outdoor structure. John responded quickly. In looking at the project closely, it was determined to not be a good fit. Rather than try to bid and take on the project anyway, John was upfront and honest. While this project didn't happen, I will definitely reach out to Shed Doctors in the future for any projects that I believe could align."

"First and foremost, Coach House builds an excellent garage. They use their employees, and it was put up in one day. The issue is with their sub contractors -specifically the concrete and electrical. The rainy spring delayed the pouring of the concrete, which they could not help. Once they completed the pour, it appeared as though there were rough spots on the floor. I sent pictures to my sales person and his sales manager and was told it was concrete dust. The ridges were clearly visible in the picture. Then I was told it was discoloration and would “cure” over time. No one came out to visually inspect the issue until much later in the build project. Weeks later, the crew came out to do the build and they did a great job. Punctual, thorough, and as mentioned, built a very nice garage. Then we waited for the electrical. They had to make three trips because, 1st they did not have the correct PVC pipe after digging the trench. A week and half later, after having a deep trench left open, they returned. The journeyman electrician left the fuse box ajar, a 1/4” gap where they cut the drywall, the exterior lights on either side of the garage were hung at different heights (I had clearly marked them with masking tape as instructed by the salesperson) and screwed the base of the lights directly into the garage wall vs. using the brackets that were provided. At this point, our frustration level was pretty high. The electrical issues were fixed, and my sales person finally came out to look at the concrete. Realizing there truly was an issue with the concrete, their first solution was for us to have an epoxy floor put down. Second solution was to go halves on an epoxy floor. Neither option was acceptable as we should not have to pay for their mistake. They finally offered to take care of the floor at their cost, but at this point, we had already waited for 4 months for the garage to be complete, and frankly did not want any more of their subcontractors to do any work. After much back and forth, we finalized the invoice. Again, the garage itself is great, but there were too many issues involved with the rest of it."

"It went just fine. I had contacted them and they were busy so we delayed it for a while. They actually I think forgot about me but I contacted them and hey came right out and took care of it. I told them initially there was no particular hurry. There was no additional cost. They throw in a few materials as well. I was expecting to pay for some materials and then they just threw it in. Once we got it scheduled, it was quite good. They came in quick and efficient. When you get involved with these timing deals,  the apprehension is that they are going to bill you for additional materials or they are going to be slow at the pace and its going to require additional time but there was nothing like that. So that was nice. They came in, quickly assessed the issue, took care of the problem, there was no need to run for materials because they had everything they needed and didn't even charge me for it. This was the first time I had used them. I've met them before."

"It went very well. When the workers from Wesley Design arrived I informed them of the jobs I needed done. They asked for clarification on one or two things and then proceeded to get the job done.
I found the workers from Wesley Design to be very professional and hard working. They did a very good job on literally the hottest day of the year.

"I have to admit that I was a little skeptical hiring a company that serviced rental homes, but I must admit that the guys that came out were awesome! They showed up early, worked tirelessly, and had great attitudes. I have run across too many handyman companies that act they are doing you a favor. The guys at Rollins were here to work on the list of items I needed around the house. They did everything we asked and they did a great job. I won't hesitate to bring them back."

"We have put out bathroom remodel off till last because we had no idea what to do. The layout was terrible and it needed a professional to come up with a proper idea. Curt Curts responded to my email right away and we scheduled a date for him to come by. He showed up on time with everything to take proper measurements and offer some ideas. Curt took a lot of time to see what we were looking for, go over different concepts and ever re-draw the plan for us.



Initially we were going to take the plan and have someone we have used several times in the past to complete the remodel. He was so pleasant, professional and understanding we decided to hire his company. They have built some incredible homes and done some very high-end remodels so we are very excited to get started. We just signed the deal and will update with the end result, but if it goes anything like the experience we have had thus far we will undoubtedly be very pleased.

"I found recreation unlimited and was doing research. After talking with them and doing prices I chose to go with a different provider based on price. They brought up concerns about quality, but their price was significantly higher. If I was going to go with anything more than a garden shed I may consider going with them in the future, but for what they are offering and what I was looking for, it wasn't worth paying for such an increased price. If going with recreation unlimited look at the delivery costs and support costs that are not included in their shed cost options. They were extremely responsive in my questions and contact though and very proffesional in working with them."

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in New Castle, IN

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.
