above ground safe rooms are becoming increasingly popular
common reasons people want above ground storm shelters
- You're having a hard time going up and down stairs now, so you want security from storms without an underground shelter.
- Being closed in tight spaces, especially underground, causes a lot of anxiety, so you want an above-ground storm shelter.
- You are younger, love your home and expect to live there for many, many years. Above-ground storm protection is planned for the future.
- This is about your parents. They are older, can still live alone, but use walkers/wheelchairs. You want them to be able to quickly and easily secure themselves in a shelter during a storm.

planning
During the fall and winter months, your security room installation can typically be scheduled within 3-6 weeks from the date of your call. However, during the spring or summer months it may take up to 16+ weeks to get an appointment. Snow, rain and severe weather can also delay our schedule.

Storm shelter permits
It is the homeowner's responsibility to obtain a storm lodging permit from their city council if required, but each city has different requirements and prices.
