"Sales - Great sales process, very responsive and very professional.  Joanne, Jeff and Wendy in the showroom and fun, understanding and very patient. Made us feel very comfortable.
Sales Process - Very good, they come to your house to measure, you go to their show room to look at all the materials of the cabinet and get ideas from the stone and hardware samples they have. For the actual countertops, they will go with you to the different showrooms in town as well as for any hardware. I like the idea to purchase everything as possible with them. It makes it much more convenient and one stop shopping. 
Tear out - Very good and very fast.
Install - Also pretty good.
Countertops - Took like they said, two weeks. We knew this well in advance, but it was still two weeks. Any and all mistakes that were made they handled it well.
Project Management - Well, I am a stickler for good punctual PM work and told them this in the very beginning that this is the make or break for me. I give this a B to B- because they were very busy at the time. Not sure why, because we did not "rush" our job, we pushed it out a month before we started, so they should have had time to properly plan our dates. We did reorder or change some things which caused delays on our side, but still, the PM side could have been handled with proactive communications, being there and all. You can tell they had too many jobs going on and were short in their ability to control these from a communication side. That being said,  Cole, Rick, Jonathan, Gary and Troy were all great to work with once they were at our place.
Price - You will always find a cheaper price somewhere. I don't think price should be a real issue. It should be your relationship with the designer and then with the PM team. While I was not a happy camper at all with the communications, I was told that they have assigned Wendy to 100% handle the customer service and communication on the jobs that are in process and that will be good as she will get it done.

"After getting a couple of estimates, Sin 2 Son Contracting had the best reviews for the best price. On their initial visit, father and son owners quoted me $1000 for materials and labor.......well-anchored, translucent panels on a 20X10 structure with a scalloped edge on one side. Additionally, they angled the panels for rain drainage. On the hottest day of the year, thus far, Robbie and Joseph worked hard, fast, and efficiently to install the covering.......including moving wiring from a flood light to the “future location”of a fan. Spur of the moment, I decided I wanted the fan NOW and the guys agreed to install it if I made a quick run to Home Depot and returned with the fan before they finished their construction and clean up. I knew I was asking a lot, and was very impressed with their willingness to take on the added dimension to the project......with absolutely no push-back or hesitancy. As afternoon temperatures rose, Robbie and Joseph installed the fan, cleaned up, and left me as a very happy and satisfied customer. Going above and beyond, and doing quality work, prompts this 5 Star recommendation. Next time I need any type of construction, I will definitely contact Sin 2 Son Contracting."

"I really enjoyed working with Mikbar to scope out my home remodel. The representatives for their preconstruction and design process were professional and quick. Though I have not yet gone through the full remodel process, the design and cost estimation resulting from the preconstruction process has been very helpful!"

"I wanted my shower re-done. They came out for a bid and they said they couldn’t do the work for $999. I had the deal refunded and I didn’t have any work done with them. We didn’t have the same idea on deal. I wasn’t very happy because they weren't very nice about communicating that to me. They acted as if I was unreasonable for wanting the work done for $999. I later hired another company that was able to do the work for right in that price range."

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in North Las Vegas, NV

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.
