"We have all heard those stories of contractors you can't reach and who don't do what they say they are going to do. This isn't Robert of Freak Dog Construction. He is a true professional who keeps you informed and is on site every day to ensure that the workers know what needs to be done. If it is not done right, he will have it redone to your satisfaction. Last year Robert remodeled my kitchen and breakfast nook. They took out all the soffits and moved walls so we would have more room for the cabinets. Of course, all the wiring for the house comes in through the kitchen and had to be untangled and tucked into the ceiling. New LED lights were installed in the ceiling and under the cabinets. The cabinets were custom made and turned out beautiful! The tile work and new flooring was without blemish. I get rave reviews every time someone sees the kitchen for the first time. I was extremely happy about how the remodel went so when I decided that the three bathrooms needed updating, I knew I had to call Robert back. We went over the plan multiple times. He was attentive, asked questions and took notes and had his trade people come to listen and ask questions. He took out the soffits in all the bathrooms, making them look much more spacious. New LED lights were put in the ceiling and electrical moved to put sconces on either side of the mirrors. Plumbing issues were discovered, when the soffits were removed, and were fixed. The showers were torn out down to the studs. All the plumbing was updated and then the showers rebuilt and tiled. They turned out more beautiful than I imagined. Robert used a tile guy, Miguel, that is very talented at what he does. He takes pride in his work. Custom counters were installed with quartz tops and stone bowls on top. Everything done to perfection! All three bathrooms were torn apart and rebuilt in about six weeks. Drywall, electrical, texture, paint and tile were done. There was never a day that I didn't have workers here all day creating what far exceeded my expectations. Robert came by here every day and ensured that the work never slowed, and everything was done in the appropriate order. Robert communicated with me about who was coming and when. If I had a question or concern, he always listened to me and address the issue. He really is a great guy and makes you feel like your project is the most important one he is working on. The whole project came in at the contract price. I honestly believe that I got the better end of the deal! I still can't believe these showcase bathrooms are in my house!"

"We needed a wall demolished and rebuilt. We also needed a wider gate. Robert and his crew did an excellent job on the block wall. The gate that they custom built fit perfectly and looks great. We have dogs and Robert was very careful in making sure that through the process they could not get out. It is obvious that IEK takes pride in their work. I am looking forward to them coming back to do more work."

"Gary and his group were great from beginning to end.  I began with an estimate to tile the common areas of the house, completely finish the hall bathroom, scrape off popcorn ceiling in the living room and retexture, install the hood vent over the stove, paint the entire interior of the home, and some other details.  This was about half of what I really needed to finish inside, but that was all I wanted to commit to finishing at the time.  I had previous contractors give me estimates, and they were horribly exaggerated.  From the time those other contractors walked in, I could tell they were not interested in my job unless I was going to commit to them to do the entire house, and I was not ready to do that financially.  Gary on the other hand understood and gave me an appropriate estimate for only the work I was asking for and said he'd be happy to give me an estimate for the rest when I was ready.  He asked for a reasonable percentage down, outlined everything I needed in the project scope, which I approved, and his guys were able to start quickly.
I began working some odd evening hours right around the same time the project started, and Arne and the rest of Gary's crew helping on the project were extremely respectful and did their best to work with my schedule and allow me to sleep.  Gary and his crew communicated well, helped me with some of my decision-making, and did a fantastic job.  Everyone that was involved in working with the house was very personable, friendly, and trustworthy.  
Because of the integrity I witnessed with Gary and his crew and the solid work I was seeing accomplished, I decided to have Gary give me an estimate for the other half of the inside work, which included popcorn ceiling removal and new closets in all three bedrooms, remodeling the master bathroom, and remodeling the large room at the back of the house including the bathroom and a new sliding patio door.  Once again, Gary gave me a great estimate, and after some strong consideration, I chose to get that work done as well.  I was going to have to stretch to make it work financially, but Gary, his team, and the work they were doing made it worth it.  This was a perfect example of a business being able to win additional work through great customer service.  The other contractors I received estimates from previously could have learned a thing or two from Gary's approach.
The whole job did not go perfectly.  My house is older, and the back room added on by the previous owner among other things had not been done very well.  Gary and his crew handled all of the oddities like true pros, though.  There was a surprise with some unexpected tiling under the carpet in the back room, which needed to be taken up that added some to the project budget, but that was very reasonable and was really the only time Gary had to add anything on to the project cost.  He even helped fix some things that previous "handymen" had done that were not done very well.  Many times I would never even had known there was an issue if not for the honesty of the crew because of how well they handled things.  At one point while installing one of the ceiling fans, Arne, one of Gary's crew that worked at my house a good deal, had accidentally dropped and broken the glass globe.  It happened while I was off running errands, and I would not even had known it happened had Arne not told me about it when I got back.  I wouldn't have known because he had researched and found the fan I purchased at Lowe's, went to the store and picked up the replacement, and had it installed as if it had never even happened by the time I got back.  He easily could have pretended the accident had never happened, but that transparency demonstrates Gary and his crew's honesty.
Throughout the job and at the end, if there was anything that I spotted that I was not happy with or needed fixed, Gary and his guys were on it.  The painter had missed a couple of things on the trim, and Gary quickly took care of it.  The hot water regulator in the master bathroom shower needed to be adjusted to allow the water to get hotter after they were finished, and Gary sent his plumber over and adjusted it right away.  I am very pleased with how everything went and how Gary and his crew handled everything.  I have a good deal of work to do on the outside of the house once I get the finances built back up, and Gary will definitely be the person I call to get it done.  Gary was straightforward, communicated well, gave solid estimates, and stood by the work.  I would recommend Gary and his group to anyone.

"

My neighbor hired Renova to paint her house around June of 2013 with an Angie's list coupon. They did such a great job, and at such a reasonable price, I called the owner,  Scott, for a quote, and he painted my house for the same price he charged my neighbor.

All the guys at Renova are good people that truly care about the job, your satisfaction, and they are not afraid to go the extra step for you. Scott's brother power washed my house, and he offered to take a look at my garage door unit (one of their many specialties) while his machine was cooling off at the end. He greased up the screw drive, sprayed the springs, and made a quick tweak that solved a sticking issue I have had for years at no charge. The painter, Casey, was also impressive. He took the time to go over what I needed done, and spent the time needed to get the job done right. He is a very skilled and knowledgeable painter, not to mention a hard worker. I was impressed how he took the time and gave me pointers on how to touch up and maintain the house over time. The owner, Scott, is very customer focused. He is wants to ensure your satisfaction with a job well done. There was a small miscommunication on my part, and Scott made it right for a minimal fee. I couldn?t have been happier with the experience and I am telling everyone I know to contact them if they need paint work done... I am a very satisfied customer!!!"

"Dakotah Construction was able to install a concrete in my property. The work was competent and the price was reasonable. In addition, they were able to work with minimal supervision and were able to deal with some fairly sticky officials (who were just doing their job, I guess). We negotiate contracts on a Request for Proposal basis. When we do our next project that requires concrete or excavation work, Dakotah Construction will definitely be at the top of the list of invitees."

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in Wittmann, AZ

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.
