We get this question more than any other. How much does a tornado shelter cost? Purchasing and installing a tornado shelter is one of the most complicated transactions you can make. Buying a new car with loaded options is a more streamlined transaction. Not to say that customizing a personalized tornado shelter is overly complicated, but perfecting a structure to save your life is more complex than deciding if you want heated seats in your new Honda Civic. With so many options and scenarios to consider when quoting a price, it’s impossible to give each customer a fixed or blanket price for each model of storm shelter that we currently offer. Take shelter sizes as the perfect example. Each customer will likely order a different shelter with the exact size dimensions. Each home has a unique floor plan and limitations when designing a tornado shelter to install in a residence. There’s no such thing as a ‘one size fits all’ mentality. As a result, giving a fixed price on a particular model would be misleading and unethical to potential customers.
No Bells or Whistles, But Endless Options and Customized Safety Solutions for Every Customer
There’s nothing superfluous or frivolous about any option on a customized tornado shelter. Everything included in a customized tornado shelter order is designed to save your family’s life or make their stay behind the steel panelized walls a little more comfortable. From the mechanical ventilation to the alcohol-burning stove and bunkbeds, a tornado shelter from U.S. Safe Room is optimized to withstand any external threat, including boredom and isolation during chaotic events. How could one possibly affix a firm price tag to a model that is as diverse as the potentially life-altering events we face every day? Even home building expert Bob Vila is hesitant to pinpoint an exact pricing point when it comes to how much a tornado shelter costs. The building guru estimates that your typical underground shelter could run you anywhere from $4,000 to $30,000. While the expert repairman covers nearly the entire gamut of total costs and installation, such a wide figure is of little help when you’re trying to get a finalized price for financing.
