The Shed Shop staff and management were very professional and forthright from my first contact through job completion. They did an immediate site inspection. I visited their location, and Paul Johnston was very helpful. My only disappointment was that I already had several ideas about things that I wanted as part of my "custom" shed. Many of these are not part of The Shed Shop "customizing." Rather than being truly custom-built, their products are based on numerous standard buildings, each having numerous options. Within those parameters, each shed is customized by the customer's choices. Because I wanted certain specific things, I had to hire an electrician and a finish carpenter to do things such as install a custom door, pegboard and specific electrical capabilities. Those comments notwithstanding, I agree with another reviewer who said that The Shed Shop product is substantially higher quality than anything I have seen in the home improvement stores. There was a significant wait time due to their backlog, but they went out of their way to fit my shed installation into their overall work schedule at the earliest possible date, (which was within my desired time frame). At all times, I felt that I was kept well informed and well treated. The installation, itself, was done on time, as specified, and by very capable and considerate people. I would certainly recommend The Shed Shop to anyone looking for an attractive, strong, and well built shed with many options. If, however, you want a truly customizable shed, you will need to look elsewhere -- and undoubtedly pay a lot more.

I viewed a similar demo office at their facility and was impressed, so I asked for a quote from the company, including a/c, insulation, finished and painted interior and exterior, oak floor, LED lighting, network and electrical wiring to the house, new circuit breakers, and so on, to be installed on an existing concrete pad. The owner came out to the property and made many good suggestions. I accepted the quote (which was much less expensive than adding on to the house) and the construction process went smoothly and efficiently, with no surprises. Any small remaining issues were promptly addressed. The Shed Shop also pulled the permit and arranged for inspections. Very pleased with the outcome. Shed Shop is one-of-a-kind in this area.

From the very first phone call the Shed Shop was responsive and very professional. They guided me through my options and their web page which was helpful. They came out and met with me right away and within a few weeks I had a brand new shed that was painted by shed shop to match exterior of my house, its beautiful!!! My husband and I could not be more pleased and highly recommend going with shed shop for a real wood shed rather than a rubber one from the home fix stores.

The whole experience was positive. There's a wide variety of shed types to choose from, and a multitude of options. We chose a "Fence Hugger" because the width and height were right, and we chose the length option. You can customize windows, vents, color and shingle style, along with internal options for shelves and electrical. The office staff was helpful, competent, and low pressure. Once we settled on all the options, we were able to have our custom shed installed within a couple of weeks. Installation also went very smoothly (we had separate landscapers prep the site), with the construction finished in a day and electrical added shortly thereafter. We love our new shed! I wouldn't hesitate to use The Shed Shop again, and recommend them to our friends.

Response from THE SHED SHOP
[removed member name] ,... thanks for reviewing your experience with our company. We appreciate how prepared you were and that you took the time to visit our showroom to see the demo buildings. Our clients always seem to make better decisions after seeing the sheds in person. We were also happy that we could meet with you on site prior to the installation to help finalize the best placement for the door, windows, & shelving. We hope your new shed works out well for you for many years to come. Paul Johnston, The Shed Shop

I reviewed backyard home office buildings and sheds online. Then I went to see their models at their headquarters and those of another company as well. This company can do the entire job instead of just the exterior. I found an office model that I like and that would meet our needs. They have "packages" which you can customize to your preferences and needs. The owner is very nice and helpful and the workers very conscientious and clean. The owner came out to see the site in our side yard and determined if it would work. The full package was more expensive than we expected but we are very pleased with it. Our only problem was that they were booked so far out in advance that it took longer than was convenient for us. Also the job was split up into different segmented days weeks apart bringing us into rainy weather causing some more delays. If this was done on a quicker time schedule I would certainly give an A. We opted to do our own painting to save a little on the costs and the outside painting is delayed due to rainy weather but it does look wonderful inside and outside.
Description of Work: They built a garden side yard home office. They have different packages and you can customize to your needs. We chose an 8X15 ft model with 3 windows, window door with 9 panes, and an A/C installed into the top wall. It has 2 built in LED light canisters in the ceiling. They did the cement foundation, then a few weeks later the outside framing and roof was built. Next day they did the electrical, then a week later the insulation and sheetrock, then a few days later taping and plastering. Six days later the flooring and framing was done. It was delayed due to heavy rain. Now it is finished and beautiful and really meets our needs. Our driveway access is narrow and difficult and all of the workers were thoughtful, professional and considerate in every way. We would use them again but try early in the spring so the job isn't so delayed and construction spread out. I think they had a lot of customers wanting them to finish their jobs at the same time before winter rainy weather.

Response from THE SHED SHOP
Customer... thank you for your thorough and accurate review of our company and the experience you had using us to build your Shed-Studio. Yes, we too wish we could have completed the work sooner. As you pointed out, we did have an unusually long backlog when you placed your order. Normally the wait is not as long, but we are obligated to fulfill orders on a "first-come, first-served" sequence. I also want to say we didn't want to just hire untrained workers off the street to try and speed up the process, which would have resulted in quality concerns. In the end, I am glad you are happy with the finished result and we very much enjoyed working with you. Paul Johnston The Shed Shop

Sheds are what I would characterize as semi-custom. Many models/sizes to choose from along with a few structural options and paint/no paint option. Paul helpful in selecting appropriate model/size and working with me on paint colors to match house. I added a window as an option. Installers showed up and finished on time. Cleaned up mess. Guys didn't talk much but did a good job. I checked prices of the usual competitors (Tuff Shed, Lowes, Home Depot) and found Paul's prices competitive and a good value for full service install.

That's what they do. They did a real good job. It's still standing. It doesn't leak and the paint is still good. Nothing is falling off or failing to work so I don't have any issues. They were around the middle pricewise. They were a bit expensive, but they do a nice job. I had no problems with their responsiveness. They came out when they were supposed to do it and it didn't take them any longer than what they said. They put it up very quickly. I would use them in the future as long as they had a product that suited my needs.
Description of Work: I bought a shed from The Shed Shop two or three years ago. They came and built it on the site and painted it.

The Shed Shop did a great job. They are great to work with -- no high pressure sales job at all. They will work with you on options and you can include/exclude many things and work with you to build what you want. When they came to build, they pretty much built the exterior in one day. Electrical work was over 2 days and then one more day to do the interior. They came on time and cleaned up after themselves. The employees were uniformly friendly, nice and professional. The office is probably better constructed and I know better insulated than my house! My neighbors and all who have seen it think it's very cute and I love the French doors. This is a really great way to add space to your house cheaply -- we get an extra bedroom now back in the house!
Description of Work: Backyard office for my business - 8' x 15' studio as they call them. Included electrical work to bring in 2-110 circuits, 2 phone lines, CATV and CAT5 line. I didn't have them do the interior paint because I can do that and didn't have them install the floors because I didn't like the options they offer. Everything else they did, including getting the electrical permit and inspection.

This company did a beautiful job with the shed they put up. I'm hard to please but they were able to please me. It looks like a little house in my back yard. They double paned the windows in the shed. It looks just great. I compared it to a similar competitor and Shed Shop's quality was way better. I was very happy with this finished product.
