Philip did a full kitchen remodel for us. It included removing a 20+' wall. He did a fantastic job! His communication was great and he stayed on top of the subcontractors, especially when cabinet delays kept coming up. I would not hesitate to hire him for any other work we need done.

We had a great experience working with Contracting in Carpentry on our closet renovation project. Philip was professional and task oriented, he made the process really easy and smooth. The project turned out exactly how we wanted and we couldn’t be happier. We will contact him again for future projects.

We found the work to be superb! We've had several projects completed including replacement, repair and original creations. In the case of the repair work, it is better than the original construction. We also had a unique challenge for Phil installing an attic lift, which he accomplished with professional ingueniity and outstanding workmanship. We recommend his work, his experience and the peace of mind knowing that the job is done correctly and to the highest quality.

Philip does excellent work and is very attentive to detail. He has worked on several projects for us over the last twenty years, and all have been completed promptly and within budget. Every time, we felt we got more than we paid for. He has replaced doors, removed and replaced windows, and remodeled and transformed an old farm house into trendy and beautiful office spaces.

Contracting In Carpentry was incredible on building my pergola! I would recommend them for any carpentry you need done. Philip was meticulous on his work and was very knowledgeable. His prices are fair and you will have the best work performed when he is working. Not only is he trust worthy, he's super friendly and great at his job! I plan on using him in the future for other projects!

Since 2005, we have utilized the skill and expertise of Philip Slater on multiple projects. We interviewed several contractors at that time as we completely gutted and remodeled the interior of our home that was built in 1978. Philip provided the most reasonable estimate to work within our budget. The project required that we occupy one end of the house, while his crews worked on the other end. He was able to accommodate our needs and privacy during all phases. In addition, he worked well with a kitchen design team that we also utilized. The project was extensive, and Philip was both helpful and efficient.
This past year, we added a walk-in safe room/tornado shelter/Master Bedroom closet to accommodate a shelter for our daughter who could not walk down stairs into a standard shelter. This project also required Philip to coordinate with another specialty contractor to connect the two projects in a seamless manner.
Philip utilized excellent sub-contractors on the projects. All were knowledgeable and skilled craftsmen. In fact, we have continued to use several of his subs for routine repairs and maintenance projects that occur in the course of normal home life. I would highly recommend Philip and will continue to contact him for any additional work that may arise at our home.

I have used Philip Slater for a porch roof addition and a smaller job of replacing exterior trim and cedar siding. If you care about your house and want your project done right the first time, Philip is your man. When getting quotes for the porch roof addition he had the best recommendations and a very reasonable price. One person wanted to just stick something on the side of my house. Philip recommended an overlay and tie-in to the existing roof. The porch roof addition has been standing and beautiful for over 10 years. When I needed a small job of repairs to the siding and exterior trim I wasn't sure he would do that small of a job but he did. Issues with the original construction where the brick met the siding had to be addressed and Philip knew exactly what needed to be done. You cannot beat the quality of his work and I wouldn't use anyone else.

A number of years ago my wife & I installed a DuPont Kevlar above ground storm room in our home in NW Oklahoma County. When we decide to build a similar room in our new home in Granbury, TX we called Philip Slater at Oklahoma Storm Rms and he agreed to install a storm room in our new home. Phil worked closely with our contractor and our contractor and we are delighted with the result. Oklahoma Storm Rooms has a great product and Philip Slater is a fine professional and great to work with.

Our Aero Safe brings peace of mind! Love the size (41W x 90L x 81 H). Fits in the garage nicely with easy access, even with the cars in the garage. Hope that we don't have to use it, but glad it's there!. The installation was professional -- quick and very tidy -- no mess to clean up. I would recommend this company.

They were very professional and performed above expectation. They were punctual and trustworthy. They took all the necessary time to explain everything to me, Turned out my foundation was inadequate so they quickly addressed the issue and added the necessary concrete to assure my storm room was secure. They never took a shortcut. I highly recommend them without reservation.

Phillip was professional and wonderful to work with. We love our storm room and I am so relived that we finally did this. We had Phillip build an 8'x8' kevlar storm room in our garage. For several tornado seasons we had been meaning to make an indoor storm room. We have an outdoor one, but generally avoided it in a storm. We only went into that one once during a tornado warning, and that was a miserable experience. Thankfully we finally have an indoor room. Now, during any tornado watch, I know that the room is already stocked with what I would want and the kids like to hang out in there anyway. And it's just a step away. This tornado season is much less stressful.
Phillip answered all our questions and explained everything well. He was reliable and helpful at every step. Although this was a big project and investment for us, everything went smoothly, and there were no surprises. We are very satisfied with the entire experience. I would definitely recommend him to others.

After surviving the first major storm warning of the season, I can't tell you how relieved we are that we now have a storm shelter. The whole process of researching, seeking a professional that sells and installs the product we wanted and the procurement and installation of the shelter was very easy. All interactions with Phillip Slater were professional and personable. I would recommend Phillip and his Dupont product without reservation.

I have hired Philip and his company to build a storm room for my family. I wanted an above-ground shelter, and OK Storm Rooms offered one protected with Dupont Kevlar. We have not had our installation yet but have received great help in preparing the location. There are electrical, plumbing and masonry adjustments; Philip has offered contacts and expertise to get everything properly prepared. I've also gotten to be a "Demolition Dolly" knocking down sheetrock and woodwork in preparation. I first saw this product at the OKC home show, and after ordering, was able to get an upgrade promo from Dupont. 'Oklahoma Storm Rooms' is the exclusive dealer in OK for this storm shelter system. Philip believes in his product and is knowledgable in all the factors involved in getting a good installation.

Did an outstanding job adding a free-standing Kevlar storm room in our existing garage. We got the 4' x 8' size and we are very happy with it. Philip and his team had it ready to go in just a few hours. I also had them wire it for electricity and install a light. We had an in-ground shelter in the garage at our last house, but we like this much better.

Mr. Slater is extremely knowledgeable about this product and a pleasure to work with. He installed a 5X5 Dupont Storm Room with Kevlar and it was done in a very focused and organized way. He and his crew are very polite and left the construction sight very clean. I would recommend Mr. Slater to anyone needing a contractor.

Oklahoma Storm Rooms was referred to me by a structural engineer who evaluated the placement of the storm shelter. My storm shelter is placed above ground and in my garage which makes it very accessible for my family, pets, & myself. Initially, Oklahoma Storm Rooms visited with me and showed me my options and size selections of shelters so that I could install a room that would accommodate my family & pets. I am very please with the quality of the storm room and the service and timeliness provided by this company. I would highly recommend this company.

With the idea of an above ground storm room, my family researched all available information that included my computer, magazines, direct mail outs and inspection of as built rooms in the metro OKC area. After several months we chose the Kevlar DuPont Storm Room and contracted with Philip Slater of Oklahoma Storm Rooms for a proposal. We were very pleased from the start with Mr. Slater’s skillful and informative presentation. We were sold on the quality of the products. Even though it took a long time to receive the shipping from the manufactory, it was well worth the wait and Mr. Slater and his crew finished our storm room in one day. He and his associate helper assembled one of the best rooms ever built. We are totally satisfied and pleased with our storm room. Should the event ever arrive, we are thankful we are safe in our room. Our family will be happy to refer Oklahoma Storm Room. Philip Slater built a quality product.

Very pleased with my Dupont above ground shelter...have used several times now & feel very safe! Was worried about 4x4 being cramped but there is plenty of room for 2 adults & 2 dogs. Best of all we don't have to get wet or chance falling by going outside. While inside & door bolted we still have great wifi & cell phone reception! Last but not least, we also love how the dogs just follow us inside...no struggle with carrying them down steep cellar steps!

The experience with the Oklahoma Storm Rooms was very pleasant. The professional and patient approach provided by Phil and Cooper was superb. All meeting were accomplished at the scheduled time and location. The explanation of the planned project was provided and all questioned answered to our satisfaction. Detailed instruction and information was provided to acquire the required permit for the project.
The project was completed in the time frame agreed to and established at the planning meeting.
The construction was complete on the date forecasted by communications between the contractor and the home owner. The project was completed in one day as stated during the meeting. All construction debris was removed the area was neat and clean.
Recommend this company to future customers.

This scope of this project was not normal by any means. The Storm Room needed to be installed in the closet of a master bedroom; where as the Storm Room had to be custom built off-site, (due the irregular size), and a 12' load bearing wall removed. Oklahoma Storm Rooms, LLC and Stellata Construction representatives met off-site and on-site to review measurements and requirements to get the Storm Room installed, and make the bedroom and closet appear as though nothing ever happened. The project was completed on time and on budget ! Hassle free install! Philip is a professional whom I would recommend again to any of my customers.

This company installed my storm room (DuPont) in a custom home. There were many changes and details that had to be considered and our representative, Philip Slater, was on it. He was great to work with and always available for questions.

Oklahoma Storm Rooms, LLC was our vendor of choice for our recent purchase and installation of one of their above ground - in house Safe Rooms. All aspect of the project including purchase, on- time delivery, engineering of the project, integration of two separate sub-contractors for concrete and demolition and the actual installation were timely and well done.
We are extremely happy with the results, particularly the safety level and multiple use flexibility of the Oklahoma Storm Rooms LLC product.
My wife and I are extremely happy with our storm room, and enthusiastically recommend Oklahoma Storm Rooms, LLC!!!

I purchased a kevlar safe room from Oklahoma Storm Rooms. After extensive research I elected to install an above ground Kevlar safe room to meet my personal needs. I am self employed and needed a room to store critical records for my business as well as my beloved "fur children" and several relatives. The 10 x 10 room allowed me to do this and customize the room with an air conditioning vent and cable for monitoring storms. Prior to the formation of Oklahoma Storm Rooms, my wait for the safe room was six months. The regional closest distributor for Kevlar was located in Missouri and was overwhelmed with requests for safe rooms after the Joplin tornado. The owners of Oklahoma Storm joined the Kevlar team and were able to install the safe room immediately. Installation was easy and finished in one day with minimal disruption. Both Craig and Phillip were constantly professional and patient with my intense research and questions and exploration of the multiple ways to either retrofit it into a room in the house or make it work in the garage. They also assisted with the subcontractors installing dry wall, air conditioning, and electricity. The budget was exactly as quoted in the original contract. I now have the security of a safe room to use during violent storms and the comfort of air conditioning for long waits in the safe room.

The contractor had an excellent knowledge of the product. The storm room was installed as described and on time. The installation was seamless. The company provided good communication and followup. This is a great product. The door is one handed open and close. It also opens toward the inside which insures that you will not be trapped by debris falling against the door. You can also send and receive wi-fi and cellular phone signals while inside which is difficult with concrete shelters. They can also be built as handicap compliant.

Last fall I purchased our storm room from Oklahoma Storm Rooms, LLC. We were very pleased with the installation, and Mr. Slater was very pleasant to work with. Fortunately, there have been no tornadoes in our area this year, so it has not been necessary for us to use our storm room. However, it is comforting to know it is available whenever the weather becomes threatening. I would not hesitate to recommend Oklahoma Storm Rooms, LLC, to my friends and family.

We waited to convert a master closet to a storm/safe room. We contacted Mr. Slater and he came and gave us a presentation. Everything that he indicated that would happen in the conversion did and we were extremely happy with the product and Mr. Slater's installation. The closet looks great and we have such a piece of mind that we now have a safe place to go in a storm or in a panic situation. Also we can store valuables in the room if we are gone for an extended time because Mr. Slater added a touch pad on the outside of the door so we can use it as a big safe.
Would recommend the product and certainly Mr. Slater and OK Storm Rooms!

I was very impressed with this company's display at the OKC Home & Garden Show. The pictures of their storm rooms that have survived F5 tornados are amazing. I believe their product is an excellent choice for various reasons, among them the following: 1) they are not underground so not subject to water leakage, bugs and corrosion; 2) they can be moved if you move to another house; 3) they are more pet friendly, animals do not want to go underground; 4) they are much less claustrophobic than a small space underground; 5) you don't have to worry about parking your car precisely so that the door underneath it can be opened; 6) it can double as a safe if you have valuables you want to store there. Mr. Slater was extremely professional and very helpful. They installed the safe room while I was out of town, got all the paperwork signed etc, and then put a safe lock on the door. I am very impressed with this company and would recommend the safe rooms and the company to anyone.

After living in Oklahoma for 60+ years and with climate change happening more rapidly than we thought, we decided to get some tornado protection.
We thought the Oklahoma City Home Show would be a good place to start so we went and saw about 10 or 12 different shelter vendors on display.
After hearing one of my employees' stories about cramming 14 people into his garage floor shelter, we knew we didn't want to be any part of that experience.
Most of what we saw at the Home Show were giant sardine cans for either above or below ground. Your cell phone would be blocked from working by the thick metal
and they were just downright ugly to have below or above ground.
Then we saw the only shelter at the show that seemed to be just what we were looking for: above ground, nice looking, no interference with cell phone transmission or reception
and engineered to be the safest possible above ground shelter that could be assembled practically anywhere and still feel like a real room in your home. We also knew and trusted the name DuPont for engineering and professionalism.
We knew their scientists who invented bullet-proof Kevlar would engineer a product we could trust.
It met all the FEMA tests for safety and the only question left was can we trust the contractor to do it right and treat us right. We found both of these elements to be a solid plus in Philip Slater and Oklahoma Storm Rooms.
We felt confident in Philip's thorough knowledge of his product and his ability to construct our 4 x 8 ft. shelter exactly where we needed it to be. He never let us down on any account. He supervised and took an active part in the construction of our Storm Room and we were more than pleased with him, his work and his product.
We received no kind of discount or any other consideration for this recommendation. It is a pleasure to write a recommendation when you're lucky enough to do business with someone like Philip Slater. A job well done and a product worth having are reason enough to be recommending Philip to you. He's the real deal and we were pleased with every phase of his work. We hope we have the opportunity to work with him again.
We are safe at home thanks to Philip.
