Sheds on Site
Where do I put my shed?
It's a question many ask, "Where is the best place to site my shed?" and the answer is always the same, "it depends on what you're using it for." Here are some points to remember when making this decision. Please keep in mind the position of the sun. If you're locating a workshop in a hot climate, some shade might be in order. If you will be using the structure as a garden/potting shed then you might require some direct sunlight. Similarly, if it's a greenhouse or somewhere you'll be working with plants, you'll probably want there to be a water supply nearby. Running a water supply to the back of your lot would be uneconomical, so perhaps a location closer to the house? Electric and phone lines may be a consideration too. Again, perhaps a better idea is to locate close to the phone service? It can get very muddy and wet in the winter, so locating the door of the building next to a path is a good idea. To ensure the longevity of your building, keep an eye on trees or shrubs that might overhang the building. You should position the building near a fence or wall with enough clearance to access all sides for the construction process and for maintenance after it is completed.
Is a building permit required?
Check with your local building department regulations and what they have determined as the square foot limitations for on-site buildings within their jurisdiction. there's no point going to all this effort and then having to move the building. Similarly, it's a good idea to check on any restrictions in your neighborhood or subdivision. The customer is responsible for obtaining and paying for any required permits. We can provide this service for an additional cost.
Does the price include installation and are there any additional costs?
Yes, installation is included in the price.
How long will it take to build the shed on my property?
Standard time from start to finish is approximately two (2) days. Flooring, trusses and wall sections are pre-cut in our factory before delivery to expedite the assembly on site, and to assure that the building is square and weather-tight.
Can you build a custom size or style?
Yes, we can build nearly anything you wish. Please provide as much detail/info/pictures or other relevant details to help better suit your storage needs.
Can you match the shingles on my house?
Even though colors change over time we will make every effort to match your house.
How soon can I get my shed?
This will depend on our work load at the time and weather conditions. The actual construction takes two days. Larger buildings involving permits take somewhat longer depending on size.
