"I contacted Kelly after another contractor referred him due to his experience on IPE decks. I sent Kelly a pretty detailed explanation of the work. He asked if we have permits and access etc. I responded to him that we have permitted work and sufficient access. I had itemized the work so that I could be sure all the items included in the bid. Kelly also refused to give detailed estimate, reasoning being "too many variables". I had broken down the jobs into only 4 main sub categories which was really relevant so that we both understand the components of the project. In his second response, he asked why the referring contractor did not do the job for me. I had to explain him that the reason previous contractor referred him because they focus on composite decks. Finally, he said he is backlogged with lots of work and he will have to pass on. I totally understand Kelly might be busy but instead of questioning my permits or reasons why the other contractor referred the job (somewhat in accusatory tone -as if I am in a shortage of capable contractors), he should have explained his schedule and the wait time required or simply explain that he can not take jobs currently. I also think all contractors should be able to itemize parts of a project in a legitimate bid so that owners can have a better understanding."

"I have used Contreras Renovations on a business and personal basis for over 25-years, and have come to appreciate and depend on the quality, pricing, and reliability of Rafael and Hector. They have been punctual, tidy and impecabilly honest. And are actually a lot fun to work with! After I retired, I was elected as the director of buildings and grounds at our condo development.

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