In Business Since 2017 We believe in the highest quality construction, the honest treatment of our customers, and being true to our commitments. We are Trex authorized ProContractors, however we can build any type of deck! We do free estimates and free design consultation. Due to the high demand for decks at this time, we are unable to do smaller landings or porches. How We Got Started I chose to work in this industry because Having retired twice from Real Estate Development, I enjoy building with my sons and creating fun outdoor living spaces.. We started in this industry in 1985. We describe our business as Family owned and operated

"Excellent experience from the bid process to completing my deck. I had a short timeline to get it done and they finished it very quickly. The deck is very sturdy and looks great! Communication with Mike wss great. I loved how they used ground screws instead of concrete footings! I highly recommend Dynasty Decks!"

I am a licensed and insured general contractor with a passion for building outdoor living spaces. I have been building homes and in the Construction industry my whole life and personally licensed for the last 17 years.

"Epic Decks replaced and enlarged my deck in 2021. I loved it when they finished and knew at that time that I would have them back to add a pergola. 2024 was the year to do that. I absolutely love what they’ve done! My deck feels more like an outdoor living space- the pergola just adds so much to my back yard! The deck is on the east side of my house and looks out into my back yard and on a green space behind us filled with mature trees and occasionally horses. Breakfast (or any time) outside, in my new outdoor living space- my little slice of heaven! I would recommend Aaron and Epic Decks 100%."

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in Sandy, UT

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.
