We couldn't be happier with our New Day Tornado Shelter. Not only does New Day have an absolutely amazing product, but they are a fantastic company to work with. Their customer service is top-notch. They are a local (Tulsa), family owned business, that really cares about their customer's safety. We got a great deal on this shelter, especially when considering that the overall price included installation and a bunch of extras (lights, ear protection, stools, etc). The unique, patented shelter is amazingly well-built; you can really tell that the owner has a talent for building/designing these things. The shelter has every little feature you could ever need: a tiny hole at the top so you can see what's going on outside, a seal on the inside that has your GPS coordinates listed on it, a mechanism that helps you to easily remove the door (from the inside or outside) if it was being blocked by debris, a way to open it from the outside if kids locked themselves in it, padding and cushioning for a comfortable fit, and the list goes on. In the end though, the most important concern is safety; these shelters are probably the safest "above ground" shelters on the market. From the aerodynamic design, to the strong materials and expert craftsmanship, you can rest assured that this would likely withstand a direct hit from an F5 tornado without a dent. And if you ever get a chance to stop by New Day's headquarters in Tulsa, a quick look at their display model will confirm all the things I've said. We highly recommend going with a New Day Shelter; the cost, quality, and service just can't be beat. read more

We contacted Dirk at New Day Tornado probably 2 years ago. He happened to be driving to Dallas/Ft.Worth to install a shelter and offered to drive by our house to show us the shelter on the back of his specialized pickup. We got an idea of the dimensions and saw the construction. We had a feeling that might be the shelter for us. Since that day, we reviewed other shelters on-line except for one company that recently put a show-room in the Dallas area. In comparing the two companies and their products, it became an easy contest for New Day. First, because we had a 24in. ledge in the garage to contend with, New Day had a way to handle this, but the other company did not. New Day had product in stock, but the other company was lagging. We thought we were compromising on size with New Day's one size fits all, but instead we found the shelter to be a perfect size for two of us + one canine. Dirk and son arrived when the said they would, and installed it without a hitch except of one thing. A bolt or two were not the correct length (I think) for our construction. Although we would never know the difference, Dirk went to the hardware store and purchased the correct materials to ensure a proper install. Pride in craftsmanship and installation. We are extremely happy with our New Day Tornado Shelter. read more

I purchased my New Day Tornado shelter in 2014 to give my wife and me peace of mind in extreme weather. Before the purchase, I visited Dirk's New Day workshop, where he explained the logic behind his tornado shelter design. Everything he explained made perfect sense, and several of the details he explained were quite clever (or at least I thought so). I was equally impressed when he single-handedly installed the unit in our garage. I check the batteries and spares in our tornado shelter every year and trade out the supply of bottled water. In the last ten years, my wife and I have only once taken cover in the tornado shelter as a precaution. Simply knowing the tornado shelter is there is a great comfort. It was worth the investment. read more

I can't say enough about New Day Tornado Shelters! They are the perfect representation of a growing business that is built on great morals and provides a quality product! Dirk worked with us personally throughout the entire process and really made sure we were comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. Our storm shelter was installed within the week of when we placed the order and was installed in only thirty minutes. We show it off every time we get a chance! If you are looking for a great product to keep your family safe and want to work with someone that is genuinely interested in your family's safety then please reach out to New Day Tornado Shelters! read more

Dirk and his wife Toni are awesome! I called on Wednesday, and Dirk just finished installing the shelter this afternoon (Saturday). The shelter is roomier in person than the pictures do justice; just enough space for three people. The shelter is excellent if you want the security of Safe Room/Tornado Shelter without dedicating a large footprint in your garage for it. Although I did not take this option, they are willing to offer payments in-house (50% down, and then the balance broken up into payments over a one year period, interest free!) This tells me that they really are interested in the safety of everyone, and are great to work with! read more

Great comfort knowing I have a place to be safe when needed .. my granddaughter called it a minion .. it takes up a very small amount of space, and it was installed on to my garage floor right next to the laundry room door with more than the required bolts .. it came equipped with overhead lighting and a fan all included at a veteran discounted price .. I have equipped it with a very small flat panel tv that is connected to a backup power supply, and is pre-tuned to my local weather station .. I also have cell phone cables connected to the backup power supply .. I like it .. a lot .. read more

great storm shelter for small families and especially for single people or couples. Compact, yet holds a lot of items (wifi works inside of shelter .... have a weather radio, first aide supplies, water, food items,etc) The company is awesome to deal with .... courteous, answers all questions, minimal disruption when installed (just have to clean out a corner in the garage. Have had mine for several years ..... feel extremely safe during severe weather. Great investment and very reasonably priced. You deal with the owner! A must have for Oklahoma residents!! read more

I spent 2 years researching shelters until I settled on Dirk, his company New Day Tornado Shelters, and his shelter. The shelter is extremely well made and includes nice amenities others don't. The shelter takes up minimal space in my garage, is convenient if I need it, and is budget friendly as well. Dirk did the install which was very clean and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend Dirk, his company, and his shelter to friends, family, or anyone else. read more

I cannot stress enough how HAPPY and SAFE we are with our New Day Tornado Shelter sitting in our garage! Storm season is here, and our kiddos are so much more relaxed (as are their parents) knowing we have a secure place to go.

I purchased a storm shelter in 2014 from New Day Tornado Shelters and could not be more pleased with the entire experience. From first contact through, and beyond, installation, I experienced first rate service. I did a lot of research prior to selecting New Day's product, and have confidence that I chose wisely. I highly recommend speaking with Dirk if you have any need for storm shelter info. read more

Excellent product and excellent customer service. We've bought two shelters from them. The first one we gave to our daughter and son-in-law when we moved because they loved it (they paid for New Day to move it and install it at their house). I highly recommend the company and their product. Our family won't even consider any other storm shelter. read more

Great service and great product! We had the whole shelter permanently installed in our garage in about an hour. Dirk, the owner, did the installation himself. Can't give enough accolades. We're now ready for whatever Mother Nature dishes out. read more
