I am Alan Luxmore and I’ve been in the construction and home building industry for 32 amazing years, starting my own construction company 1996 I have traveled this country to become the best contractor and human being possible. I’ve had many construction adventures. I spent 4yrs building over 73 massive custom homes in 106hrs on ABC’s EXTREME MAKEOVER HOME EDITION. GOOGLE LUXMORE CONSTRUCTION, LUXMORE INDUSTRIES INC, ALAN LUXMORE and do your homework from there. I come from 3 generations of builders and went straight into construction paying my dues as the laborer for every trade imaginable. I love construction and people equally. One of my greatest strengths is the deep respect I have for my clients and keeping construction process a positive experience for everyone. We both know that finances and a families home are both very serious and deeply emotional subjects of which I’ve learned to have a deep respect and understanding of both. I keep close relationships to my subcontractors and clients as well. I’ve made it my life’s journey to understand and make all parts of construction a positive life changing experience for everyone. I believe in honesty, integrity, pride and also understanding. I’ve creates each one of my homes and remodels with pride as one unified team. A potential client or homeowner does not need to worry about the quality of their and product if I am in charge of building it. What a client should worry about is the quality of person their contractor is. They should examine a contractor’s character closely and decide how they want their construction journey to play out. Find the most experienced top quality contractor possible and they will already know to treat your budget with great care. The simple act of making a living is one the most difficult undertakings we have as humans and all my projects are budget driven. Never settle for less than amazing, you don’t have to.

"Alan is wonderful. Our bathroom is a challenging space to work in. Alan is reliable knowledgeable about how to make the most out of the space we have. We’ll only use Alan on any other projects going forward."

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in Seattle, WA

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.
