Serving Madison Neighborhoods

From established neighborhoods to new construction communities, we provide storm shelter solutions throughout Madison and surrounding areas:

Tornado Safety for Madison Families

April 27, 2011 changed everything for Madison. On that day, an EF1 tornado struck the Madison/Monrovia area, causing damage along Balch Road, Wall Triana Highway, and McCrary Road. Statewide, 252 people died that day—the deadliest tornado outbreak in Alabama history. As recently as May 2025, another large tornado moved through Madison near Wall Triana and Michael Avenue.

Madison homes have no basements. Due to limestone bedrock and regional building practices, virtually all homes here are built on slab foundations with crawlspaces—not basements. This means families have no safe underground refuge during tornado warnings. Interior closets and bathrooms offer minimal protection; only a FEMA-compliant storm shelter provides near-absolute protection from 200+ mph winds.

Storm Shelter Options for Madison Homes

New Construction and Storm Shelters

Madison is experiencing a massive construction boom—over $1.6 billion in construction started in 2025 across Madison, Limestone, and Morgan counties. If you're building or buying a new home in Madison, including a storm shelter in your plans is the smartest time to do it. Installation during construction is more cost-effective and allows seamless integration into your floor plan.

We work with builders and homeowners throughout Madison to plan and install storm shelters in new construction. Major builders like Lennar, Woodland Homes, Breland Homes, and Murphy Homes are actively building in Madison. Whether you want an interior safe room, a garage shelter, or a backyard underground unit, we can coordinate with your builder to make it happen.

Alabama Storm Shelter Tax Credit

Alabama offers a tax credit of up to $3,000 (or 50% of the total cost, whichever is less) for homeowners who install FEMA-compliant storm shelters at their primary residence. This makes tornado protection more affordable for Madison families.
