"We’re currently remodeling two bathrooms under the same contract. The first bathroom is complete, and the second one just started this week. While their bid wasn’t the lowest we received, it felt fair and, in hindsight, definitely worth it. The project manager was an excellent communicator—knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and never pressured us to accept the offer. We’re extremely pleased with the quality of work on the first bathroom and are confident the second will turn out just as well. A tip for future clients: make sure you have all the necessary materials on hand. We did, and the team completed the bathroom ahead of schedule. The space is narrow, so the photo angles don’t do it justice, but I hope they still give a sense of the high-quality work delivered."

After finding his contact information on Angie's List and checking out his website, I contacted Mr. Westbrook by email on a Sunday afternoon and got a call from him the same day.  We agreed that he would stop by my home to discuss a Master Suite addition the following Thursday evening, which was the first time I was available. 

I am a former custom home builder and had a good idea about what I wanted, but I was looking for someone who had both the design and building skills to complete the project to my demanding standards.  When Mr. Westbrook arrived precisely on time in the pouring rain, I quickly realized that he knew exactly what he was talking about and his personality was perfect for the job.  Within about 5 minutes, Mr. Westbrook became Wally and I felt as if I had known him for years.

Several times over the next few days, we exchanged sketches of the proposed project and I was extremely pleased with the results.  With just a builder's sketch of my existing floor plan, dimensions from an appraisal and a few photographs that Wally took during our initial meeting, he was quickly able to create a 3 dimensional plan and elevation of my existing home which he used to design the new addition.

The scope of work included a major expansion of the covered porch and Master Bedroom, adding an adjacent 15' X 15' sitting room and adding a new pool bath.  Within just a few days, Wally submitted the preliminary design which was exactly what I had envisioned.  His plan matched the current design perfectly, and complemented the existing roof plan very well--which proved his expertise in both design and construction.   

After integrating a few ideas that I had provided and making some revisions that he had suggested, Wally prepared the final plans and elevations for the HOA and permit review.  From the first visit to the final review, it was obvious to me that Wally had the necessary skill set and commitment to do the job well and to meet my specific expectations.   It is rare to find someone these days who is so committed to his work, but Wally exceeded even my expectations. Overall, it was a real pleasure to do business with him, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who is considering a major addition to their home.

"They showed up on time, did a good job, and cleaned up after themselves so there was very little mess. The new gutters look and work great. My only complaint is that I bought a deal through Angie's List for a certain number of linear feet of guttering. When my job turned out to be less than that amount, I asked (twice) by email for a partial refund which was an equal percentage (20%) to the shortfall. Mr. Lux simply ignored the question. I would have appreciated either a 'yes, I'll do it' or 'I'm sorry but I can't change special deals' but he simply refused to answer."

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in New Waverly, TX

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.
