"The first red flag is representing himself as Steve Perez on Angi’s list when in fact his name is Ziv. There’s the hard sell and false promises (finish a kitchen remodel in 5-6 weeks) when it took 4 months. Unprofessionalism is an understatement. He communicates through texting like a teenager and screams at the client when in fact errors are his fault or his sub-contractors. We provided appliance specs very early in the process and the electrician still made errors for which Ziv wanted us to pay for. The cabinets delivered were incomplete which he blamed on us. He demanded a final payment and threatened to put a lean on our house when the work was incomplete per the contract. Then Subs starting calling demanding payment which was resolved after we provided cashed checks to Sonart Construction. Don’t believe what I say. Read the BBB review complaints for a well-deserved F rating."

"5 stars for the final product, 3 stars on the customer service experience. I contacted Akraba fully aware of their minimum but had a number of tasks and wanted to have the work done by professionals rather than trying to DIY it. This included replacing a window that would not open, replacing an interior double door with one that would lock, repairing the cosmetic damage around a skylight, and replacing a ceiling fan. Louie and Ily reached out immediately, listed to our concerns, requests, and HOA requirements and were able to not only provide a quote for the needed work but also quoted out replacing our fence at a more than reasonable price. While we did have some minor issues with the workers they sent (primarily regarding scheduling), Louie was very reassuring throughout the process and personally came to review and address each concern. Now that the work is complete both we and the HOA are happy with the work they did would recommend them to anyone that needs large projects done."

"DO NOT HIRE. Beware if the Owner. Contractors did a fantastic job. Wanted 8ft and 8ft to eventually build a top floor. They gave me 9ft to roof and another 7ft for 2nd floor. I asked for another 1ft and to bill me materials of needed via email at 7pm. The next day my father who speaks very limited spanish asked the contractors to raise it up another 1ft. And got an ok from them. We left the issue at that. That evening I come home from work and its only 16ft, not 17. I call Rene the owner and he says he has not checked his email. (It's now been 24 hours since I sent it to him) he also tells me that he does not check his emails at night and cannot change the specs now as the frame is already there. DO NOT HIRE. If the owner is to lazy to check his emails he does not deserve to be on Angie's list. Btw, I am not blaming the contractors as they chkd with owner but received no new instructions since owner never chkd his email. We now have to add additional cost to dig ground"

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in Richardson, TX
Most municipalities require a building permit before you install a tornado shelter. That paperwork proves your shelter meets all safety and construction rules—including FEMA P-361 and P-320 guidelines—for extreme weather. Permit fees start at $50 and can run up to $100.
Check with your local building department first so you know exactly which forms to file, how long approval takes, and whether any extra inspections or fees apply.
Pre-built shelters keep costs down and install in just a few hours, so you’re protected sooner. Because they arrive fully engineered, you skip most on-site construction fees but still get a unit tested to stand up to severe weather. Models come in several sizes and materials, letting you pick the option that best fits your family and budget while still meeting FEMA standards.
A pre-built shelter goes in within four to eight hours. Custom builds—especially ones that need excavation—can stretch into days or even weeks because crews have to prep the site, pour concrete, and assemble the structure piece by piece. The longer timeline simply reflects the extra work needed to hit strict safety standards.
Plan on at least six square feet per person for tornado protection and 10 square feet per person if you also want hurricane coverage. For example, a 5-by-6-foot shelter comfortably fits a family of five. Add extra room for emergency supplies so everyone can move around safely during a long weather event. Enough space keeps your family both protected and comfortable.
If you live where tornadoes or hurricanes are common, a storm shelter isn’t a luxury—it’s a must-have. The reinforced walls guard against high winds and flying debris, giving your family a secure place to ride out the worst weather. Adding one is an investment in peace of mind every storm season.
