Williamson County

Concrete Storm Shelters around Franklin

We work all over Franklin — near Sturbridge Pointe, Rolling Rivers and Pinkerton Park and out by Jim Warren Park and Ropers Knob — and throughout Williamson County.

Franklin is the Williamson County seat, from the historic downtown on Main Street out to Cool Springs and the newer neighborhoods around it. Franklin is about 12 miles north of Spring Hill, well inside our 30-mile service area.

Concrete in Middle Tennessee has to handle clay soil that swells when it's wet and shrinks in a dry August, limestone that's often only a few feet down, freeze-thaw winter nights and heavy spring rain. A slab holds up when it sits on a compacted stone base, has steel where it needs it, sheds water away from the house and has joints cut where cracks are meant to go.

Questions

Concrete Storm Shelters in Franklin: FAQs

Do you do concrete storm shelters in Franklin, TN?

Yes. Franklin is about 12 miles north of Spring Hill, well inside our 30-mile service area. We handle in-ground, above-ground and under-garage storm shelters and anchored shelter pads there, and the quote is free.

Do I need a permit for concrete storm shelters in Franklin?

It depends on the project. When one is needed, we pull the permit from the City of Franklin's building department and build to whatever the permit and inspection require.

In-ground or above-ground: which is better?

Both protect you when they are built right. In-ground shelters stay out of sight and have the earth around them, but they mean steps and need good drainage. Above-ground shelters are easier for anyone with mobility issues and work where rock or water rules out digging, so we help you pick what fits your site and family.

Can you build a shelter under my garage?

Yes. On a new home we build the shelter before the garage slab is poured and leave a hatch for access. In an existing garage we can often cut out a section of the floor, dig, build the shelter below and re-pour the slab around the hatch, depending on rock and utilities.

Can I put an in-ground shelter in with the rock and clay around here?

Often, but not on every lot. Limestone close to the surface can make a deep dig hard, and clay that holds water after heavy spring rain means an in-ground shelter needs good waterproofing and drainage. If the site is rocky or wet, an above-ground poured shelter or an anchored unit in the garage is usually the better call, and we check before you commit.

How much does a concrete storm shelter cost?

It depends on the type and size, how much digging the site needs, whether we hit rock, and the door and vents you choose. An anchored pad for a prefab unit is a much smaller job than a fully poured in-ground room. We give a free quote after seeing your property.
