FEMA-compliant, Texas Tech tested. Free quotes — Sheltris serves the entire Permian Basin." lang: en --- Underground Storm Shelters — Lubbock & West Texas (806) 241-8862 (+18062418862) # Storm Shelters in Odessa, TX Odessa and the Permian Basin face severe weather every spring. We install underground concrete shelters — one crew, one day, one standard. FEMA Compliant Texas Tech Tested Locally Owned ## Odessa — Exposed and Vulnerable Odessa sits on the flat, open expanse of the Permian Basin with virtually no natural protection from severe weather. Tornadoes, straight-line winds exceeding 80 mph, and baseball-sized hail are all part of life in West Texas. The Midland-Odessa metro has experienced multiple severe weather events in recent years, including tornado touchdowns that damaged homes and businesses across the region. An underground storm shelter gives your family a place to go when the sirens sound. Sheltris installs the same FEMA-compliant concrete shelters in Odessa that we install across West Texas. When severe weather hits the Permian Basin, the safest place is underground. 20+ Severe Weather Events/Year ~140 mi Distance from Lubbock $5,799 Starting Price 1 Day Installation Time ## We Source It.

The Ratliff Stadium crowd knows what it's like to sit under dark skies waiting for a weather delay to pass. From the neighborhoods along Grandview Avenue to the developments near UTPB, Odessa's residential areas sit on completely flat ground. There's nothing between a supercell and your front door but open air. The Presidential Museum, the Globe Theatre, Stonehenge replica on the UTPB campus — Odessa has its landmarks. But when the National Weather Service issues a tornado warning for Ector County, landmarks don't matter. A reinforced concrete shelter below your backyard does. 140 mi From our shop — same crew, same standard ## Recent Installations in the Region Image: Overhead crane view of storm shelter installation in West Texas — Sheltris (https://sheltris.com/assets/spur-crane-overhead-CezM-oHt.png) Crane operation — Spur, TX Image: Concrete shelter seated in ground at West Texas job site (https://sheltris.com/assets/spur-shelter-placed-CBSUV0MS.png) Shelter placed — Spur, TX Image: Crane lowering lid at storm shelter installation in West Texas (https://sheltris.com/assets/aspermont-lid-crane-0vgY3ola.png) Lid lowering — Aspermont, TX Image: Workers guiding lid onto storm shelter in West Texas (https://sheltris.com/assets/roaring-springs-lid-placement-BBnII5CH.png) Lid placement — Roaring Springs, TX See all projects: https://sheltris.com/gallery ## What Odessa Homeowners Ask Us Do you install storm shelters in Odessa?
