"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!"

"After receiving (or not receiving) several bids for a renovation project, I selected Jet Development based on cost. Their bid was approx. 1/3 that of two others I had in hand. I asked the owner to verify all the work I requested, which was provided in the same format given to every contractor I?d contacted, was included in the bid. She said the project manager forgot to include an item (refinishing all the cabinets) and bumped up the bid $1,000. Regardless of whether or not that was true, $9,700 was still less than I?d expected the project to cost, and much less than the other bids, both of which were in the mid $20,000s, which, for a property that's only worth $70,000, was just too much.
Unsurprisingly, you get what you pay for.
Work began Jan 5, and I was told by the owner it would be complete in two (2) weeks. Timing was not a big deal as I had moved everything out for the renovation and was not planning on moving immediately back in, but the job was not completed until Feb 19 (7 weeks).
Overall, the work was okay, but there were numerous issues. The incorrect tub and vinyl flooring were installed because of poor or lack of communication (the incorrect vinyl was ordered by the flooring supplier, and never checked against the correct number or sample). A new moving blanket of mine was taken, i.e., stolen, from my property and not returned ? none of the subs would cop to taking it. Despite my preemptive efforts to ensure otherwise, the new cabinet hardware was installed in the wrong location (using existing holes that should have been filled), and crooked at that, e.g., whoever did it did not bother to make a template or use a level. Even after re-drilling new holes, filling the incorrect holes and refinishing, the hardware was still not straight! New paint was the incorrect sheen ? the project manager told me I had eggshell on my walls already, when I knew it was flat enamel because I?d personally painted the walls, and had even given them a retail can of the exact paint (color and sheen) to use. Specific instructions regarding how to install hardware for custom closet shelving were just plain ignored? I?d even drawn them a picture, which I taped to the outside of the closet door. Ceiling fan blades were damaged (scratched), as were the new stainless steel microwave and sink.
Everything above, as well as other issues not mentioned, were addressed without additional cost, to an extent. They removed the incorrect tub and installed the correct one. The incorrect vinyl was removed and the correct vinyl installed, which again was due to the flooring supplier?s mistake, not Jet Development?s. The walls were repainted with the correct sheen. They replaced the microwave, and I was reimbursed for my moving blanket, ceiling fans and a new dryer cover, which had been stained with paint and ripped. There were/are still a few unfinished items, but it?d gotten to a point where I knew they weren?t going to be completed to my satisfaction, and I just wanted them out of there, so I paid them the balance.
The place was not cleaned up afterward. The new kitchen sink and faucet were a mess from clearly washing paint brushes and other tools. The counters were covered in dust. Cabinets had wadded up balls of painters tape and loose screws. The vinyl floor in the kitchen was marked up. I'm still finding screws and small pieces of packaging materials months later buried in the carpet. I?d asked for all existing hardware to be returned. They?d thrown everything into one big box, including trash like wrappers and painters tape, old screws, and even one of the new soft-close cabinet hinges, which should have been installed. I found the cabinet that had one new hinge and one old. No one bothered to ask or tell me they were missing a new hinge; just reinstalled an old one and hoped I didn?t notice I guess.
Throughout the renovation, I'd try to explain what I wanted done or how I wanted something done when I got the sense it wasn't clear, but English did not appear to be the native language of anyone working, with some not speaking it at all. Whenever I?d stop by to check on the progress and found something that, again, despite my attempts to make clear what I wanted, was done incorrectly or poorly, I?d let the project manager know. When I'd meet with him there to discuss, it was obvious he was seeing the work in question for the first time himself, more often than not agreeing that the work was sloppy or not complete. Clearly he was not there as much as he should have been.  
I was hoping to find a contractor to use for a much more extensive renovation of a house in the future, but it definitely won?t be Jet Development. While I appreciate the project manager?s efforts to fix what needed to be fixed and address my concerns throughout the renovation, too many of them should not have been issues to begin with, and I feel wouldn't have been with some of the other contractors I was considering.

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.
