The difference
A factory box starts with a shipping limit. We start with your property. Our shelters are poured from high-grade concrete reinforced with fiber and steel rebar, then built to stay with the structure around them.
Poured on site vs. hauled in on a truck
Our build
Concrete that stays with the property.
- +High-grade concrete, fiber and steel rebar
- +Any size or shape that fits the property
- +Built on site instead of hauled in
- +Lifetime structural warranty
- +Space that can work as a room between storms
A factory box
Started with a truck's dimensions.
- −Factory-made box brought in on a truck
- −Limited to the dimensions the truck can carry
- −Separate from the home and its long-term plan
- −Less room for the property-specific layout
- −A single-purpose space between storms
Every shelter surpasses all FEMA standards and carries a lifetime structural warranty. Underground shelters are priced at $100 per square foot or less.
The Patio Top Storm Shelter
Your patio can be the shelter
With our Patio Top Storm Shelter, the shelter is your patio slab. We pour the structure below the surface, so the space above it can stay useful every day: patio furniture, a grill, a play area, or whatever fits your home.

Our story
Four generations against the Oklahoma sky
In the 1930s, a group of Oklahoma basement, concrete and home contractors joined forces against the state's weather. Four generations later, we are one of the Midwest's established patio-top shelter builders. We have been pouring tornado shelters since 1969, with work installed from Texas to North Dakota.
Between storms, you can use a shelter as a craft room, exercise room or home theater. When the sky turns, it is there as part of the plan.

Concrete answers before the weather turns.
01Are Aaron's storm shelters poured on site?+
Yes. We build on site from high-grade concrete reinforced with fiber and steel rebar, rather than bringing a finished prefab box in on a truck.
02What is the Patio Top Storm Shelter?+
It is a below-ground shelter poured beneath a patio slab. The slab stays useful as a patio between storms, while the room below provides shelter when needed.
03Do you build above-ground safe rooms?+
Yes. We build residential and commercial above-ground safe rooms. Brick-faced options can blend into the house, and a room can double as a vault or panic room.
04How do we start?+
Choose a project type, send your name, phone number, ZIP code and a few details, or call us at (405) 517-1832. We will look at your property and discuss the next step.
