"We can’t be happier with the renovation of our condo. A total renovation was done and it was so much better than we could have hoped for. All the work was clean and most importantly, done correctly. There were small touches that were added and I shouldn’t even call them small because they all really made such a difference in making this a home. Larry worked with us so well and made some awesome suggestions that we can’t thank him enough for. Working on a reno when an association is involved can be extremely difficult but once again Larry helped out so much. I would recommend The Q Design without hesitation to anyone."

"After downsizing we were in need of a space for our books, dvds, and photo albums.  Carl came up with the solution for our sitting room.  His solution also saved us space by mounting the television on the newly built unit.
Carl was punctual, pleasant and worked barely stopping for lunch.  I asked him to make some alterations to his design while he was building the unit and he had no problem with it.  I would highly recommend him.  We are thrilled with the finished result!

"I highly recommend Greg Luebbe and Total Home Roofing. We loved our neighbor's new roof and inquired with her to find out who did the work. She said Total Home Roofing did two of her three daycare buildings. She said Greg Luebbe was her salesman. Greg came over to the house and was very nice and helpful. He not only gave us a thorough presentation, and a great price, he got up on our steep roof and tarped over the missing shingles to prevent leaking until they could install the roof. The roof was installed exactly one week after he sold us. My husband and I are very pleased with the whole experience!"

"That's the most ethical we have built five homes, that's the most ethical builder that we've ever come across. This was a rebuild we're done building homes, but if we were to rebuild or build a new one, yes we would use him again. We have warranties for a year and following it. We had a full-time on site supervisor."

"Working with Max was a great decision. He made everything easy for us and worked with us to get our home updated in a manner that we wanted. We loved the fact that he knew what he was doing, including guiding us on decisions based on his experience, while keeping our budget in mind and it really showed in the final product, top notch quality. We would definitely recommend Max to anyone looking to get a remodel done in their house."

"Since we had other work done by Kelley Brothers (that we were very satisfied with), we had them remodel our kitchen. Brian helped us with the design of the kitchen and came up with very good ideas. As we experienced from other jobs, he worked very clean, precise and showed his professionalism and skills in everything he did. The final result was beyond our expectations. We now have a very beautiful and functional dream kitchen."

"Great! We called Kevin who was recommended by a friend and we're glad we did! He put in a new custom fitted door and hung it in the existing door frame complete with standard locking knob and deadbolt lock. We could not be happier with the work! Top notch professional all the way. We plan on using Kevin again for any remodeling needs that we have!"

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in Port Saint Lucie, FL

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.
