Professional welder that takes great pride in every weld I make and in everything I repair or build. I physically cannot walk away from my work until it’s 100% complete and up to my standards as well as yours. PERFECT is my standard and nothing less. I just restarted my business after taking some time off to take care of some family matters. All of my work previously was by word of mouth, I never advertised. I did 1 job and I think they bragged to the whole world because I ended up getting more work than I could handle. Every client after did the same. My work always speaks for itself. I promise to always do quality work with my safety as well as yours in mind. I can weld practically every process known to man (TIG, Stick, MIG, Fluxcore, High Frequency TIG, Oxy/Acetylene). I am proficient in all alloys (Carbon, Stainless, Chromoly, Inconel, hastalloy, Aluminum, Titanium, Nickel). Been welding professionally for 28 years. I’m very skilled in X-Ray pipe welding and structures.

"We had half a garage full of construction debris we needed hauled away. Matthew was great. Was able to get on the schedule very quickly. They showed up on time, worked fast and cleaned up after they were done. His price was very reasonable as well. Will definitely be using them again!"

"This is just a general note. Foster's Remodeling specifically says both here on their Angie's List profile and on their website that they "work within all budgets large or small." This is NOT TRUE. I contacted them fairly recently because I was so impressed by the images of their beautiful work and specifically because of that line about all budgets large or small. I filled out their contact form and mentioned that we were looking to do the work as inexpensively as possible. A day or two later a woman from Foster's called me to inform me that Mr. Foster *only* does "high-end" remodels; that he absolutely will NOT install RTA cabinets or any type of cabinet other than 100% custom ones designed and built by himself on site; that he does not even use less expensive materials like ceramic tile, only marble etc.; and that if I was interested in any kind of "budget" remodel or less expensive materials there was little point in having him come out, because he absolutely did not do that kind of work. She said "high-end" more than once. She was nice enough, but it was clear she didn't think our job was worth Mr. Foster's time. It was pretty clear to me, too, since someone who considers ceramic tile beneath him was not likely to give me an estimate within my 50k budget. However, the experience was, and still is, a bit frustrating; it was a waste of my time to fill out the contact form, and I wasted that time specifically because their website and profiles on this and other sites portray them as being budget-friendly, and interested in finding creative solutions to make smaller budgets go as far as possible. That is not the case. I think other people interested in calling this company ought to know that before they waste their time, too, and are made to feel small, useless, and shabby--and like they're wasting Mr. Foster's time merely by contacting him--because they cannot afford to outfit their entire bathroom in marble. Again, they do beautiful work, and I think anyone who can afford them is probably in very good hands. But they are NOT budget-friendly; they do NOT work within small budgets, and they do NOT, according to the woman setting the appointments, do anything except "high-end" remodeling with the finest, most expensive materials. So if your budget is smaller, save yourself the trouble, and especially the humiliation, of being told you're not good/important enough for this particular contractor to bother with."

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in Roanoke, TX

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.
