- Every shelter is installed by a professional contractor.
- Building permits are required within most city limits. Do NOT let anyone install a shelter on your property without a building permit if your local government requires it. The city has the legal right to have you remove your shelter or require you to get a permit after the fact if you have a shelter installed without a building permit. This is important if you ever plan to sell your home.
- Most cities make getting a permit a simple process. The city requires a plot plan of your lot with the shelter location designated on the plan. We will provide you approved engineering drawings if needed. Permit cost ranges from $20 to $150 depending on the city. Most cities and towns issue building permits in two or three days.
- Obtaining a building permit is the right thing to do, it is required by law and it helps ensure you are protected and dealing with a reputable firm.
- Shelter is delivered
- Location is excavated
- Shelter is placed into hole and leveled
- Concrete is poured or placed at each end of the shelter to anchor it and ensure it does not 'float' in the event of high water levels
