FAQ

Prices include delivery, construction, leveling of the foundation (with blocks and shims), and installation of chosen options. Prices do not include sales tax.

We use a welded steel floor frame / foundation. We put 2″ thick cinder blocks underneath corners and shim it with shingles to make the foundation level. The standard flooring is ¾” Advantech Flooring to make a much stronger floor. The walls are framed with 2″ x 4″ pine, 16 inches on-center. The siding is LP Smartside™, which is an engineered wood siding with a manufacturer’s limited 50 yr. warranty. We have an exclusive welded steel door frame with stainless steel hinges welded on so your door never rots, warps or sags. We put a 6″ overhang on the front of most models and a 4″ overhang on the sides and back. We roof your shed just like a house with steel roof edge, 15# synthetic felt, and 25 Yr. house color-matched composite shingles.

Yes, we use c-channel structural steel, welded to create the foundation. It is constructed of 14-gauge, red primed C-Purling. The frame is welded at the corners and beams are welded across every 16 inches on-center. For 10′ and wider sheds, we create two sections of the steel base so you have a double support beam down the middle. We place the floor frame on 2″ thick cinder blocks and block it up and shim it w/ shingles to make the foundation level. For the floor, the standard is 3/4″ Advantech Flooring – pressure treated plywood or a concrete slab would be available for an additional cost.

The walls are framed with 2″ x 4″ lumber spaced every 16″ (on center). The rafters are 2″ x 4″ lumber spaced every 16″ (on center). On 16′ wide models we use 2″ x 6″ rafters.

We use 14-gauge, 2″ x 1″ steel rectangular tubing to construct the door frame. The frame is welded together at the joints and the stainless steel hinges are welded on so the doors never rot, warp, or sag. So, what looks like trim on the front of the door and around the outside of the door opening is actually steel. The siding is then screwed onto the back side of the door frames. The door openings are approximately 4’w x 6’h on 8’w sheds and smaller. The doors are approximately 5’w x 6’h on 10’w sheds and larger. Custom door sizes are available at an additional cost.

We use 4’w x 8’h x 3/8″ sheets of LP Smartside™ siding. It is an engineered wood siding manufactured by Louisiana Pacific Lumber Company. It has a wood grain finish and vertical grooves every 8″.

Our Classic Sheds come primed but unpainted. We will caulk & paint your shed for an additional fee. You provide the paint in order to match your home perfectly. The building must be painted within 30 days of installation in order to maintain your warranty.

We roof our shed the same way you would a house. We put steel roof edge all the way around. We put down 15lb. synthetic felt underlay. Then we use GAF 25 Yr. 3-tab shingles. We make every attempt possible to color match to your home roof.

We have a 10-year base warranty on workmanship and materials. It does not cover damage due to weather, insects, shifting soil, acts of God, or any other cause beyond our control.

Our crew needs a minimum of 2′ on all sides of the structure to be able to work around the building. 3′ of space is ideal and this would allow you enough room to fit a push mower between the shed and other structure. The only exception is the lean-to which is designed to have the back side constructed next to another structure.

Check with your local building inspection department. Every city has different requirements and building codes. Most commonly a permit is not required for buildings 120s.f (10’x12′) or smaller, but you still have to meet setback requirements. Also, if you have a Homeowner Association, check with them to see if they have any building restrictions.
