"When we first met with Lew Merryfield, our home was a disaster.  Smoke and intense heat had made it necessary to completely gut and restore our home.  It was a time of great despair and confusion.  Lew was very reassuring that his company would be able to handle to assignment and allow us to return to a home that was better than ever, and agreed to bid the job in the format requested.
After the contract was signed the Merryfield Construction Group was very active, and progress was made every week.  We opted to hire our own subcontractors for plumbing and HVAC, and an electrical contractor recommended by the provider.  The provider and their staff worked well with the other contractors and were communicative with us during the process.  A promise to never abandon working on our home for any significant period of time was kept.  Building options and recommendations were presented at appropriate times and were appreciated.  Lew and his brother George worked with us to solve problems that arose and we always felt like it was a partnership and that they took great pride in their work.  Additional work outside the original contract and work change orders were appropriate and reasonably priced.
The fire was one week before Christmas in 2013, and we were able to move back in late October 2014.  Although this time frame was slightly outside of the original estimate, it was not considered unreasonable given the nature of the work and the change orders. After we moved in, the provider has done a nice job on following up any problem areas and punch list items.
We are very happy with our "new" home and are confident that the provider will continue to stand behind the work.  The overall job turned out much better than we could have expected.  Lew and George Merryfield, and their staff, particularly Tom Ferry, Sean, and Scott, were always respectful and friendly, and took obvious pride in their crafts.  In conclusion, we are glad we selected Merryfield Construction Group and would not hesitate to use them again in the future or recommend them to others."

"Bob and his crew did an outstanding job on all three projects.  The first shed foundation required a lot of front end loading work with the township and Bob helped me navigate the process.   All of the jobs required significant travel for Bob and his crew, but they arrived early everyday and worked long into the evening.  Bob pays attention to the details and does not cut corners.  His rates are competitive and you definitely get what you pay for.  I highly recommend using Rock-A-Fellas for your next foundation or shed project.

"It went ok. Eric was so anxious to start the repairs that he reduced the price which was great, but he started the job a week later than originally planned and my husband miss two days of work because of it. He didn't finish job at 100%. There are couple minor things that still needed to be done that he has not come back to finish. I guess when you have too many jobs going on at once, I guess he figured those few minor things were not important to call and say he wasn't coming back to complete the job. I do however want to thank one his workers (I wish I would have asked him his name) who did most of the work by himself. He was very professional and if I knew his name and number, I would call him for future jobs. Overall the work was fair, but I will not use Eric again or recommend him to anyone."

"Betsy's husband Bill (CoOwner) visited with me at home to sketch a plan, provide an estimate and schedule installation.  The process was seamless and the workmanship was awesome.  I now ride around town able to discern cheaper versions of MY fence.  As a real estate agent, I KNOW a quality fence can add significantly to the curb appeal of a home.  Many of my clients have Montco Fence products and I've been impressed.  As other reviews have stated, fencing is not cheap, but with Montco Fence you can count on outstanding customer service, quality products that will last a long time, and top tier workmanship.  I will continue to recommend them to others.

"Spectacular!!! I have been working with Mark Grimaldi (Management) for two year. We have work together on two separate projects. The level of Professionalism, Customer Service, Technical Efficiency , Ease of Communication, Honesty and Integrity is Exceptional. I am in the process of renovating my home. I depend greatly on Mark to provide the most Cost Effective ways to accomplish my Goals without sacrificing quality. He as never let me down ! The MCG Team members that actually preformed the work is and extension of Management. The same efficiency prevailed. They came to work on time every day. If I had some concerns or questions they patiently and respectfully addressed them. At the end of each work day all trash, debris and tools were handle appropriately. One of the windows had an old air conditioner that needed to be disposed of. The team offered to take it away for me with NO Charge !!! This for me was a blessing . It was one less issue I had to deal with. My relatives and neighbors have asked me for the contactor's name that is renovating and repairing my home. I can't get the name out fast enough. MCG CONSTRUCTION 's end product speaks Loud and Clear and is always impeccably done. With clean lines, smooth surfaces and attention to details each of my projects have turned out to be works of arts. Yes... I would recommend this company and Yes... I intend to use it again.

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in Royersford, PA

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.
