Storm shelters that do what they’re built to do

Over 25 years, our shelters have taken direct hits from EF3, EF4, and EF5 tornadoes—and held strong every time. Families walked out safe while everything around them was flattened. That’s why we build the way we do. When the skies turn dark, peace of mind is worth everything.

Excellence From Start to Finish

Everyone I worked with, from shopping, ordering and delivery were knowledgeable and friendly. I had to reschedule delivery twice due to construction delays, and they were very understanding.

Friendly, Professional, Highly Recommended

Just had our shelter installed. The guys were very friendly and explained things clearly. Will recommend to all our family and friends. Your company is to be commended for the excellent service

Friendly, Professional, Life-Saving

You guys rocked it. Thank you for the peace of mind a Family Safe storm shelter gives to families living in tornado regions. You are a friendly, courteous and professional provider of protection and safety. Can’t wait to never use it!

Eight Years of Peace of Mind

Because of the tornado here in Joplin 8 years ago today we made a great decision. You installed our saferoom in spring of 2012 and it has given us such peace of mind over the last 7 years. Thank you

Storm Hit. We Were Ready.

Good investment. Our house was hit today east of Strafford and we heard it coming and got in our shelter by Family Safe

Professional Installation, Professional Results

We purchased one of these units a few years ago. Great quality, fit and finish. Installation crew arrived when they said they would and was very professional in all aspects.
Feel much more secure knowing we have this shelter as the spring storm season arrives.

Ready for Spring Now

Thank you for being a great company to work with! We are ready for spring now!

Professional, Friendly, Responsive
