Are you looking to add a shed to your property? With so many options, styles, sizes, and features to consider, choosing the perfect shed can feel overwhelming. Well, have no fear! Here are some of the ways we help guide clients like you to the ideal backyard sheds.

1. Consider How You'll Use It

It may seem obvious, but carefully thinking about how you plan to use your shed is key. Will it primarily store gardening tools and lawn care equipment? Or, do you envision it as a workshop or office space? Determining the shed's purpose and what you need to store helps narrow the options. We'll have you make a wish list of must-haves, so we find or custom-build sheds suited to your needs.

2. Evaluate the Right Size

Shed size is another big factor. According to Southern Living, 120 square feet is the most popular size for a shed. Do you need something smaller or larger? Measure your anticipated contents and discuss space requirements with us. We'll map out shed dimensions to comfortably accommodate your items without going overboard. The right size prevents wasted space and money.

3. Choose Between Custom and Prefabricated

Prefabricated sheds offer affordability and quicker installation. On the other hand, for a fully customized solution, we build sheds tailored specifically for you. We determine if a custom-built or prefabricated shed is the best direction based on your budget, timeline, design preferences, and use. There are smart options in both categories – we simply guide you to the optimal type of shed construction.

4. Select Appealing Style Elements

Beyond functional considerations, it’s important your new shed has an aesthetically pleasing design that enhances your property. Do you prefer a traditional barn style or a contemporary look? What architectural details matter most? Consider the shape, windows, colors, and door type you prefer. We present style options that match your home's architecture and design sensibilities. Your shed deserves to look as great as it functions.

We use our expertise to simplify the process and ensure you get the right shed tailored to your requirements. Building a shed should be exciting and not stressful. Let us do the legwork while you envision how great your property will look and function with your dream shed.
