Awesome company! They answered my email for a quote and asked all necessary questions! I tried to keep it local here but no one wanted to go the extra mile! They were in and out in less than 2 hours! Even with the extra delivery fee since I am outside their 60 mile delivery area, they came in almost 200 dollars less than the local company!

After waiting a couple of months for the weather to cooperate and for us to finally get a break from all the rain, the installation went surprisingly fast. They had everything dug up, installed, and finished in just under two hours. They did a great job and made the whole process easy. We’re really happy with how everything turned out!

Jack and Stacy and Sam were  very professional and easy to deal with that it's just amazed me. These are definitely the people you want to deal with if you need any sort of storm shelter. I just cannot sing their praises loud enough nor thank them enough for helping us as much as  they did.

Jack delivered my 5x7 saferoom to Pauls Valley on May 7th. Stacy was truly a blessing during the whole process, a very caring person who listened to your needs. Jack and the other gentleman did a fantastic job of installing the shelter. They are very professional and I highly recommend Sprague's Backhoe. They answer any questions you may and explain the whole process from start to finish. I called several vendors but Sprague was my final choice.

We had an above ground storm shelter installed and it's better than expected. It's on our farm near Wetumka, OK.
The crew was very nice and knowledgeable. If I needed another shelter; it'd be Sprague's Backhoe.
Job well done!
