"I had two rooms painted, drywall installed under my basement stairs and several light fixtures added/changed. Justin is very professional and the work turned out beautiful. They were able to do the work quickly and were very flexible when I added more work mid-stream. I would definitely use Adam Contracting again."

"We had an excellent experience working with RJ Construction. They renovated our existing deck, replacing some rotted support posts, demolishing and replacing the deck rail, and related work. They have been in business a long time. The owner provided good expert advice to guide our choice of products and materials when formulating the contract. The work crew was unobtrusive and highly skilled. They started and completed the work within the time promised. And they have been responsive to a couple of post-contract concerns. They provided a valuable combination experience, quality, responsiveness and service at a fair price and we highly recommend them."

"The crew worked long days and were very hard workers. I was very impressed. The deck is beautiful and have heard people comment on it how nice it looks. Every time we called we were responded to very quickly. I would recommend them.

"Manny was great! Hanged, taped, mudded, and sanded roughly 8.5' X 8' wall that I framed... had 'my studs' not been slightly twisted, bowed and warped the wall would be 100% perfect. Manny's work was excellent and the wall is smooth no divots or gaps. I provided the drywall and corner bead. Will definitely hire Manny again!"

"I’m very pleased with the workmanship, value and timeliness of the work MTR Service did for me in April 2019. Had a 26 yr. old shingle roof replaced, entire house with mold growth on Al siding power-washed, some rotten exterior wood replaced and painting of all trim, gutters and garage doors done. The owner, Carlos, responded quickly to provide an estimate, offer advice on what work would be best value and responded to all my questions and requests in a timely manner. His work crews showed up when he said they would, were friendly, professional, and skilled and exhibited great work ethic. Really appreciate that they took time to prep for painting correctly, caulk exterior seams and do the job with care like it was their own home. I had gotten estimates from four separate roofing companies and had two neighbors that had similar work done to compare against. I’m certain that I got the best value. Bottom-line is that they did a great job at a fair price and showed that they can be trusted. I won’t hesitate to contact them in the future for additional maintenance and renovation tasks or to recommend them to others."

"I originally hired Daniel to perform a first floor kitchen remodel which included opening up the first floor with a more open concept floor plan. And adding a kitchen island. The project went smoothly and I was so taken by the final look that I had him come back to update three bathrooms, as well as, a complete remodel the basement. The house now has a more contemporary/ modern appearance and I receive compliments often. His price points for the individual projects were fair. I found him to be not as pricey as some and a bit higher than others. The workmen were polite, cleaned up daily before leaving and very repectful of my wishes. If I had to list a con it would be that one or two of the projects were not completed on schedule. Each being off by about a week. Overall, I would hire him again and have referred him to several friends and family members."

"The company recommended replacing the skylights. We agreed. They finished the work promptly and expertly. One issue arose (nails poked through ceiling), but they handled it without excuse or complaint, realigned the skylight and repaired the holes."

"Stallings guided us through a very difficult situation from start to finish when our home was destroyed by a tree. It was a long process but Ronnie was very upfront with us the entire time, always answered every question/concern promptly and everyone in the office was a pleasure to work with. We would not hesitate to use Stallings in the future for any type of work."

"I met with the company for a consultation. The technician was out to the house for about an hour. The product did look very nice. The pricing was much higher than I expected to have for of my garage walls worked on. I ended up getting any product at all from the company or having any service done. The technician was very nice and I had no problem scheduling the deal. I just did not get what I expected from the deal."

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in Suitland, MD

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.
