FamilySAFE

FamilySAFE provides EF5-tested above ground tornado shelters and safe rooms.

About FamilySAFE Shelters

In 1998, in an effort to protect our own families from severe weather conditions without having to exit the home, a new idea and design for a tornado shelter was born. Not being able to find anything that would work, the above-ground steel shelter was introduced. As the pioneer of the above-ground steel shelter, we began working directly with Texas Tech University and the HILTI anchorage company to assure what we were designing would withstand any and all tornadoes that have ever existed, including the F5.

Today, that passion is still with us, and we use it to assure that we are building and installing the absolute best tornado and storm shelters in the industry. All FamilySAFE has ever done is create custom storm shelters, so we have mastered all that it takes to get the job done properly. Our process and efforts are our life and driving force, and we will not cut any corners on our shelters or the way they are installed. Every FamilySAFE storm shelter is engineered, tested, and certified and will be installed ONLY by our HILTI-trained and certified FamilySAFE installers. We are the most experienced above-ground shelter company in the US. We are proud of the fact that we have had over a dozen FamilySAFE tornado safe rooms and shelters that have been able to survive direct hits from EF4s and EF5 tornadoes and have never even been dented.

What makes FamilySAFE so different? Here is just a small list of what makes our above ground storm shelters the best in the industry:

 

  • The most experienced above-ground steel shelter company in the US.
  • 14 storm shelters have survived direct hits from 12 different EF4 and EF5 tornadoes. None of them have ever even received a dent.
  • We are the only tornado shelter company that ever allowed a person inside a unit while under testing. Our storm shelters are that trustworthy.
  • Over 20,000 storm shelters have been installed, and we’ve never had one complaint filed with the BBB.
  • The only company with a written letter of endorsement from the HILTI anchorage company.
  • Patent-pending, no-pinch door design makes being trapped inside almost impossible.
  • The most experienced tornado shelter installers are trained by the HILTI anchor company directly.
  • Residential tornado shelters, commercial tornado shelters, and military tornado shelters are all available here at FamilySAFE Shelters.

 

These are just some of the reasons that set FamilySAFE apart from anyone else in the industry today. Contact FamilySAFE Shelters to get a free quote for your custom storm shelter today.

Experienced

  • In 1998, when we started searching for a reliable above-ground tornado shelter option for our own family, we couldn’t find one. Soon after, the FamilySAFE Shelter was born. As one of the pioneers in the steel, above-ground tornado shelters, we began working directly with the engineers at Texas Tech University to assure that we were building F5-ready storm shelters. It has been a driving passion to keep the FamilySAFE tornado shelter and the FamilySAFE company the best in the industry. We were one of, if not the first, complete above-ground prefabricated safe room to pass all testing performed at Texas Tech University. In the year 2000, FamilySAFE was the runner-up in the Better Business Bureau’s award for marketplace ethics, and we are proud to have a written letter of endorsement from the HILTI anchorage company.

    All FamilySAFE’s rooms have certified drawings stamped by several independent engineers and are built by our certified welders in our own shop.

    We also carry full workman's comp and liability insurance.

Above-Ground Tornado Shelters

It used to be that homes had a separate storm shelter that was detached from the home. These shelters usually had their openings outside and were underground, making them the perfect hiding places for all kinds of animals. Above-ground storm shelters can be placed inside the home, making them convenient to get to and safe from any potentially harmful pests. Our above-ground storm shelters are designed to keep you, your family, or your employees safe during some of the worst storms imaginable.
