Determining the cost of a tornado shelter includes several factors. Shelter size, desired protection level, optional features, and occupancy should be considered when budgeting lifesaving bunkers and shelters. While each U.S. Safe Room model comes with solid steel paneling protection, customization will vary. Although residential and small business tornado shelters are standard for smaller populations, sizeable entities should explore our community safe room line for spacious accommodations. Always consult with our experienced building advisors for accurate pricing. There’s no bait-and-switch, either. We honor firm pricing and time-sensitive quotes, ensuring quick installation delivery. Furthermore, we offer financing for qualified customers. Never allow “sticker shock” fear to deter the cost of tornado shelter research.
What Determines the Cost of Tornado Shelter?
The cost of tornado shelters hinges upon market dynamics, like building materials. We strive for competitive pricing. While other companies will pass on exorbitant supply line costs to customers, U.S. Safe Room will never upsell additional or unnecessary features. Not every safety dilemma calls for a gargantuan safe room. Smaller is often better. Extravagant safe rooms that don’t reflect structural foundations can crowd living arrangements while detracting from a residence’s natural and manicured aesthetics. Existing home offices, bedroom suites, or unused corners of properties with less than 2,000 feet of floor space can be easily retrofitted with a panelized safe room kit. Our panelized kits offer the same protection as an aboveground model. Moreover, each kit is comprised of lightweight panels for easy and discreet installation and use.
Optional Features Enhance Lifesaving Protection
Not all creature comforts are expendable. Families in storm-prone areas often desire a permanent steel refuge without sacrificing nearby friendly confines. Although kitchenettes, detailed floor plans, chemical toilets, or other decor don’t improve customized shelter safety ratings, such amenities calm frayed nerves as the haunting freight train-like sound of a tornado grows closer. While customization will vary, our skilled fabricators will engineer the best-suited tornado shelter for your unique needs.
Additional Financing Options
Steel safety comes at a premium, but pricing should never be a determining factor when selecting tornado protection. Additional financing options exist for budget-weary prospective clients. Personal or home equity lines could provide new credit lines for those maxed out on unrelated financing. Online crowdfunding is suitable for those needing additional assistance from the altruistic general public. Neighborhood group purchases for community safe rooms spread the wealth of safety without burdening a single home. Moreover, FEMA offers safe room reimbursement for qualified applicants in storm-prone areas. Check if your area qualifies for FEMA grants that cover partial shelter costs.
