Located in the Town of Poughkeepsie. Your reliable handymen can handle anything inside and outside of your residential property. Your property, our pride!

"I recently hired Castaldo Property Services to tackle several home improvement projects, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience or happier with the results. From the start, I had an initial project walkthrough with the owner of the company, who took the time to understand my needs and provided an insightful appraisal of the work required. One of the key projects was the completion of bathroom upgrades, and the owner offered excellent suggestions that elevated the final outcome. The work was completed with exceptional craftsmanship, and everything was done within a reasonable time frame. The attention to detail and professionalism were top-notch. I am extremely satisfied with the quality of the finished work and would highly recommend Castaldo Property Services to anyone looking for reliable and skilled handyman services. Whether you're tackling one project or several, you’re in great hands with this team! Thank you, Eric, Brandon and Josh."

I have many references from satisfied customers over 20 years now--as my reviews indicate. I generally handle one project at a time--as a rule-- and I give my full attention to each project. I am available to help with all aspects of the project from concept to finish. I am also architecturally qualified to assist in the design concepts. I personally do most of the detail work and finish work myself and am qualified as a master-carpenter. I'm probably one of the few "working contractors" still around. My rates are very reasonable and I can usually work within a customer's budget. 2015, 2016, 2017 AND 2021 Super Service Award Winner in Dutchess County , Remodeling - Kitchens & Bathrooms are my specialty.

"Let me start by saying that John is our hero - we had been looking for someone to do our bathroom for a reasonable price for over 2 years. 12 years ago I used a general contractor to remodel my bathroom, and had nothing but issues from cracked grout to leaks inside the walls and rotting supports. John came in the fall of 2024, inspected the site, understood that this was our only bathroom and worked with us to expedite our renovation. He is extremely focused on problem resolution, patiently explaining each issue he uncovered, showing what was wrong and how to make it right, and keeping costs from spiraling out of control. Our new bathroom is fresh and modern, and more importantly leak free. I have been enjoying this bathroom since the project finished in December. John is fantastic!"

Shelter or outbuilding building services FAQs

You need to secure a permit for a tornado shelter when local building codes require it. A permit confirms that your shelter meets safety and construction standards to withstand extreme weather events. FEMA guidelines P-361 and P-320 establish these safety requirements. Permit costs range from $430 to $2,240. Contact your local building department to verify the necessary permits and ensure full compliance with all regulations.

Yes, FEMA will fund up to 75% of your storm shelter installation if all eligibility conditions are met. FEMA allocates funds to state authorities where strict guidelines determine approval and disbursement. Contact your State Hazard Mitigation Officer to determine your funding options and initiate the required process. Secure the necessary documentation to access this financial support.

Tornado shelters add significant value to a home by enhancing both safety and market appeal. A secure storm shelter not only increases the resale value by up to 50% of the unit cost but also provides multifunctional benefits in areas prone to severe weather. Homeowners who integrate features like a gun safe or wine cellar maximize their investment and overall home desirability.

A pre-built storm shelter delivers distinct benefits by reducing overall costs and installation time. A pre-built unit eliminates extensive on-site construction expenses and comes in a variety of sizes and materials to suit different family needs. This design flexibility provides robust protection, ensures rapid installation, and secures your home against extreme weather conditions.

The installation time for a tornado shelter depends on the type chosen. Pre-built shelters are installed in four to eight hours, providing a rapid and secure solution. Custom-made shelters or those that require land excavation demand significantly longer time, taking days or weeks due to extensive preparation, structural assembly, and precise installation to fully meet safety standards.

Space is a critical factor in a storm shelter. FEMA mandates a minimum of six square feet per person for tornado protection and ten square feet per person for hurricane safety. For example, a 5-by-6-foot shelter meets the needs of a family of five in a tornado-prone area. Extra room accommodates emergency supplies and ensures safe, comfortable movement during severe weather events.
