"Steve Pfeifer and his son were always on time, very professional, and super easy to work with. If we had a change mid project or a question, they were always able to accommodate. The end result is beautiful and the cost was very fair and appropriate to the work. We originally wanted pre-built cabinets next to the fireplace, but after we saw them, we asked to have them returned and Steve built us custom oak cabinets instead. Couldn't be happier."

"I wasn't too happy with the results we got when trying to get a bid from Young. After coming out and getting my ideas and measurements they came back saying that they were going to decline the offer saying due to time sensitivity and budget they were not going to be able to submit a bid. When originally speaking with Young he said time shouldn't be an issue if we got started right away and never asked me my budget range before coming out. Personally, I don't think the job we were asking to get done was worth what they were trying to put it in the price range of (50-75k). I guess I'll just have to look in to a smaller company that seems more reasonable...  "

"I’ve had Jesse out twice- he secured my undermount sink and caulked it, stabilized a pedestal sink and caulked, caulked a shower, painted an interior window, and helped plan out future project lists to chop away at our “to-do” list. The price is great, the company responds right away to my text messages (I love that I can text instead of call or e-mail), and everything is done on time and quickly."

"Dan Wilson, Owner, bid the job personally. He is professional and competent. He was one of four bidders. That was 3/31/17. I signed the bid 4/24/17. The weeks in between were spent emailing back and forth to get the written bid. The written bid was the most professionally written of the ones I received. Price wasn't the lowest but comparable and fair. Bid included tear out and replacement of large driveway (3 across), walkway to porch, downspout under walkway, and conduit under driveway. Work started in early June. Dan said he would personally be on the job and he was. All was going well until cement water started coming into my basement. They used water and saws to cut out 4" into the 8" of concrete sitting on top of the foundation wall the garage sits on as I have a suspended garage. In 30 years of business Dan said this has never happened to him before and I believe him. The very next day he had someone at my house cleaning up the mess in my basement. I was (and am) so appreciative. In the midst of the chaos, they missed installing the conduit under the driveway. We didn't learn about this until later. Dan offered to have a landscape company come in and install the conduit under the new drive. We opted not to do this and Dan refunded that part of our money. The drive and walkway look great. As promised, they came back after ten days to power wash and put down a penetrating sealer on the new concrete. We also hired them to power wash our patio, and apply a top sealer with a stain. It has never looked better. A small amount of the color did get on our house. Dan has two sons that work with him that are as professional as they are polite. They do some of the work and are very, very conscientious. I can't say enough good things about the whole family. Once the driveway was in, we had water come into our basement four times between June and October. They tried several approaches to fixing the problem, including a bid from a foundation company. In the end they cut out 4" of concrete across the front of the garage, around the rebar. Then they poured in tar and let it sit a few days. They put in more tar and then replaced the concrete. It has not leaked since. Communication was very, very slow at times but Dan stood behind his work and did what he said he would do. I would not hesitate to hire him again. Its not always what happens but how you handle it that counts."

"David Possin from PROven came to discuss my options on repairing or rebuilding my detached garage. First off, he was right on time for the appointment. It was a very thorough inspection and discussion of all the different options and how much each portion of the job would cost. He even gave recommendations that were cost effective and related directly to the safety of the structure. The bid was very fair and cheaper than the others that I have received. It was a fantastic experience"

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in Olathe, KS

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.
