"We had a very small roof area need to be repaired. I sent request to multiple company to give a service quote. Few of them sent me replies and stated that they are too busy to come. Matt of MMP Consturction's contacted me promptly, scheduled an on-site visit and gave us a quote right away. The work was then scheduled and finished quickly. Matt did great job on reaching out, effective communication, and always arriving on-time. He also gave an evaluation on our roof condition. Also, Eric and Don did excellent job on finishing the project. They are all very polite, knowledgeable, and showed their professionalism. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to Matt and his crew. We are very grateful for having them arriving on-time before the winter storm to prevent potential damage of the house. From their react, we see a warm heart. No job is big or small, all jobs are equally important. Understanding the difficulties of others, for the people, been appreciated by the people. Thank you again for your high quality service. We definitively recommend MMP Construction Inc. to anyone for any related home project."

"Khaled and his team did a fantastic job designing and building our large custom 3-season sun room with sunken hot tub. Khaled had great design sensibilities and took the time to discuss every detail with us. He is a perfectionist and only picked top materials and more time consuming finishes. Communication was great all along, and the crews were friendly, skilled, and kept the site clean. We love our new room, which perfectly matches our old house in Wellesley"

"Leo did a fantastic job with the front steps at my investment property. Leo acted quickly to obtain an emergency permit, demolish rotting old steps, and build a new stairway outside. Having tenants, the cracked steps were a big liability for me and I was very grateful that Leo acted quickly and performed the entire job in less than a week (even less time if you count some of the rainy April days that can't be worked)."

"We moved into a new home and wanted the old, oddly designed bathroom completely changed. The demolition, didn't go so well. They burst a pipe and water poured down into our foyer, just minutes after our last boxes were moved in. They also threw out the vanity I was going to reuse. Design didn't go that well, either, but that was a matter of completely different personalities and taste preferences of the co-owner/design person. I relied on my own tastes and picking the brain of their foreman. My shower would have ended up too small had I taken the designer's advise. As for the work, they were very professional. T Bros for the plumbing and Catchlight Painting were both excellent. The foreman was also great, although I don't believe he's with the company any longer. The entire project took a really, really long time and went over budget. This was due to the tile and fixtures. I fault this to lack of direction and assistance from the designer. I asked what my budget for tile was and was told there is a huge range of prices for tile. Not until after I selected most items did I finally get a detailed budget and found I was way over on virtually everything. I also didn't get fully reimbursed for the vanity I had to buy given the old one was demolished. I did like that the company tries to use sustainable materials, but I wasn't given any guidance on how to select tile, fixtures, other items that were eco-conscious. I liked the owner quite a bit and the overall bathroom turned out well. They did a great job w/ the construction & completion of the project, but you need to take the design aspect into your own hands."

"Carlo and his team built a retaining wall for us, to create a new parking area for our camper van, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. It was a tricky project as it was built on a steep bank. Not only did they build a beautiful looking wall, their professionalism, and attention to detail were first class. Carlo was careful to update us throughout the project and explain exactly what they were doing and why. We will definitely be hiring CF Masonry again."

"These guys are the greatest! They saved us a lot of money! We had a dumpster before the bullbag and for 3 tons of material and a week rental of the dumpster it cost us $486! We own the bullbag now, had a full bag - 3.5 tons - picked up and it was only $229! We didn't have any rental charges, excess weight fees, or anything! These guys did everything they said they would! OMG! Everyone should use these guys!!!!! Also, I got the bullbag back! I never have to buy another one and its ready to use whenever I feel like doing a clean out or renovation."

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in North Andover, MA

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.
