Don’t Be Fooled By the Big Box Stores!

Hey there, shed-seekers! Are you in the market for a new shed? Don’t be fooled by the big box stores! While they might seem like the easy and cheap option, there are a few things you need to know. As a custom shed builder, I’m here to spill the beans on why going to a local shed building business (like us) is the better option.

Price

You might think that going to a big box store is the cheapest option out there….spoiler alert! That’s not the case. I know first hand because I used to build for them….
Those low prices may seem like a great deal at first, but they often come with hidden costs, like low-quality materials, limited customization options, and a very long list of features that are not included (and will cost you double what they should).
A local shed building business, like HSVsheds, will be able to offer a lot more value for your money. For instance, our prices are competitive, we use only the best materials, and we offer several included features that the big box stores will charge you an arm and a leg for. 

Here’s a list of all of our shed’s included features and perks that the big box stores charge extra for or don’t even provide:

• We only build onsite
• No delivery fees
• No fences taken down
• No trucks on your lawn
• Doors and windows can be in any location on your shed
• We’ll usually build your shed from start to finish in only one day
• We take care of all of the leveling
• We offer hand-picked materials
• We use treated 2x6s for the floor frame
• We level on solid concrete blocks
• We use 3/4″ plywood floor sheathing
• We off all 2×4 construction
• We offer PVC corner trim boards (as opposed to siding strips that will rot out)
• We offer LP Smartside panels
• We offer 4″ overhangs
• We have working windows
• We offer heavy duty door hinges (or even other custom options, such as slide bars)
• We offer locking door T-handle
• We offer roof drip edge and vents
• We offer 30yr architectural shingles

Quality

When you buy a shed from a big box store, you’re getting a mass-produced product that’s designed to be assembled quickly and cheaply. In many cases, these sheds are made from low-quality materials like OSB or cheap plywood that will warp, rot, or crack over time. In contrast, when you work with a custom shed builder like us,, you’re getting a high-quality product that’s built to last. We use only the best materials, like pressure-treated 2×6 lumber and solid plywood, so your shed’ll stand up to the elements and last for years to come.

Customization

When you go to a big box store, you’re stuck with the same basic designs and sizes as everyone else. It’s like a game of Tetris, but with sheds. However, when you work with a custom shed builder, the possibilities are endless. Do you want some fancy barn doors on a slider? Or some interesting windows that the big box stores don’t offer? Or maybe you want your shed to be painted in a color that’s not even available at the big box stores. Whatever your heart desires, I can make it happen. The sky’s the limit when it comes to customization with me.

We offer a wide range of customization options, so you can get a shed that’s tailored to your specific needs and preferences. When you choose us, you’re not just getting a shed, you’re getting a high-quality, customized product that will add value to your property and last for years to come. So, before you assume that big box stores offer the best prices, consider the features that are not included and the quality of the materials they use.

Service

Now, let’s talk about service. When you buy a shed from a big box store, you may have the option to pay for installation, but it’s at a huge additional cost and may not be available in all areas. And even with paid installation, you’re still limited by the pre-built design and limited customization options. As a custom shed builder, I offer a full-service experience from start to finish. You won’t have to worry about assembling the shed yourself or finding a third-party contractor to do it for you. Plus, I’ll work with you every step of the way to ensure that your shed is built to your exact specifications and that the installation process goes smoothly. With my personalized service, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your shed is being built and installed by a professional. Don’t settle for a pre-built shed or pay extra for limited installation from a big box store – let me create a custom shed that’s tailored to your needs and installed hassle-free.

Conclusion

Don’t let the big box stores fool you! Their sheds might seem like a bargain, but they come with a hidden cost – low quality, limited customization, and poor service. When you choose a custom shed builder like us, you’ll receive a high-quality shed that’s built to last, customized to your liking, and with personalized service every step of the way. So, if you want a shed that’s as unique as you are, skip the big box stores and give me a call.
