"I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with RENOTIGHT. From the initial estimate to the final walk-through, they were professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. The estimate process was clear, detailed, and delivered quickly. They followed up to make sure I understood everything and checked in regularly while I made my decision — never pushy, always helpful. Once I moved forward, the project manager came out to walk the site, confirm expectations, and answer all my questions. He provided a clear schedule — and they stuck to it exactly as promised. Throughout the project, communication was excellent. I got regular updates, including photos, and always felt in the loop. At the end, we walked the site together to ensure everything was up to standard — and it absolutely was. The site was kept clean the entire time, and my neighbors weren’t disturbed at all. If you’re looking for a contractor, I can’t recommend RENOTIGHT highly enough. The results were fantastic, and the entire process was smooth, professional, and stress-free."

Reduce your dependency on the main energy grid and start saving money monthly! Solar panels are usually known to produce more energy than your property needs, and the remaining electricity won’t go to waste! It goes back to the grid, and you can even sell the extra power through a process called net metering. Arizona is famous for its sunny days, and that is the top reason to go solar! Take advantage of the natural resources and trust professionals to do the job.

"Avoid at all costs! Incompetent workmanship from start to finish. Took over a month to reinstall correctly. Tried to tell me that "panels working properly upon reinstall" was not in his contract. Extremely unpleasant to work with. Used all my spare roof tiles without asking. Honestly looked like he was figuring it out as he went. Hire someone else."

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in Phoenix, AZ

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.
