"We were able to reach Scott quickly today and he was at our home within an hour or so, as promised. He gave us an honest evaluation about what we need and don’t need and offered easy maintenance advice that we could do ourselves. Scott is honest, kind, and professional and we’ll be using 24/7 Garage Door Service for periodic maintenance as well as any future repairs we may need. A great local and family run business!"

"Can't say enough about OCR! Our roof looks great and our experience with this company was wonderful! Jake knows his stuff and his crew finished the job in two and a half days. They cleaned up at the end of each day and when the job was finished we had quality shingles and they cleaned up so well you couldn't tell they were here. We also appreciated that OCR, Jake or Jason, was here on the roof with our insurance claims guy, that right there really made a difference. Would recommend this company to anyone!"

"He did the concrete pad as well as the shed for it without a kit. We decided to build it large enough to fit our zero turn and other yard working tools to hang on the walls. I absolutely love it."

"Handyman Matters did an excellent job. My project was small enough that they provided an estimate with photos I sent which was very convenient. We had remodeled an older home and updated the doors. This left spaces that we were not able to seal up. They came out and made them functional by eliminating any drafting or water leaking issues we had as well as trimmed the outsides so they looked like the rest of the house.

"I want to highly recommend this company and the owner James. I had James build a custom 2 car garage in my backyard. I was amazed by the professional ethics and the quality of craftsmanship of the garage. The construction was done in a very timely manner and James was always available if I had any concerns. James took all the worry and stress out of this project for me. The price of the project was also very reasonable. I cannot say enough good things about this company! So , if your planning any future building projects? I highly recommend them without any hestitation. I will definitely be using them again in the future! The craftsmanship was impeccable! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"The start date of the warranty is undetermined because the kitchen is still not finished. Mr. Colston has not responded to my repeated attempts to contact him. Items taken from my home and not returned to me: 4 plastic milk crates (taken without permission) 2 heavy duty 50’ extension cords (taken without permission) 1 green shop broom (taken without permission) 1 air tool (missing) 1 yellow flashlight radio (missing) Outstanding items not completed by contractor: 1 shelf for cabinet was built but not delivered Granite at sink is still cracked and not polished (not smooth and dull in appearance) Items requiring repair: *Under cabinet lighting wiring has become unglued *Wood screw on hinge of upper right pantry door has pulled out of the wood (previously loose) *Sealant between Granite and Sink has failed *The window above the sink will be replaced because the upper cabinet, East of the sink, was installed by the contractor on top of the existing metal window frame. * The contractor declared that sealing the grout for the backsplash was the responsibility of the home owner. Items repaired by home owner or home owner’s professional contractor at the expense of the home owner: *Sheetrock on the wall section above the kitchen sink repaired by professional contractor (bubbled up and not smooth). *Pipes under the sink continued to drip and were properly tightened by home owner. *The two lower Lazy Susans were scraping the water line. Professional contractor secured the water lines to prevent further damage to them. *A round piece of metal (non-magnetic) was in the drain at the garbage disposal, causing it to be very loud and causing the garbage disposal to jam and lock up. Repaired by home owner. Items already repaired by the contractor: *The contractor’s subcontractor improperly installed the range hood so that the fan blades were catching on the sides. *The contractor reapplied sealant on the top edge of the sink, on the underside of the granite. This has already become unsealed. *The subcontractor (licensed plumber) installed the new gas line for the new gas range. The contractor installed the gas range and pushed it hard into the new gas line immediately causing a gas leak. Upon arriving at the end of the day the home owner could smell the gas leak and called the contractor but it was unknown that the gas leak was at the broken gas line behind the gas range. Later the home owner pulled the new gas range away from the wall and was able to see the new gas line stub was pushed to the side and compromised by the contractor who installed the new gas range. It is possible that the licensed plumber had to be called out to repair the damaged caused by the contractor during installation of the new gas range. Future repairs will be required: *HVAC vents and returns were discovered during tear out of existing kitchen cabinets and soffits. Home owner requested that these working vents and returns become part of the new kitchen. The contractor agreed they should be made available to use, however the contractor or his helpers just covered them up. Therefore they are now covered up with sheetrock and cabinets, and blowing/venting into the wall cavity, per the contractor’s “simple solution”. *The kitchen ceiling was mudded and refinished multiple times and remains unacceptable (bubbled up and not smooth). Home owner had no kitchen for 52 days and had to leave the house unlocked with unrestricted access to all contractors and subcontractors during that time. Notice was not given when contractors knew they were not coming to the house. This would have allowed the home owner to lock the house on those dates. The contractor’s common practice was to work a few days, receive a partial payment and then not return for a week or more. Subcontractors were fired by the contractor or quit at the rate of about 1 or 2 per week. Dishwasher was installed incorrectly and twice flooded the kitchen floor (engineered Oak). Granite was not professionally polished and the area around the sink is cracked and still not polished. Other areas of the granite that were professionally polished are also cracked. The rough/unpolished edge of the granite that fits against the side of the gas range has damaged the paint on the sides of the gas range. The cabinets are Maple and are very nice."

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in Oklahoma City, OK

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.
