Questions

Shed, garage and carport questions, answered plainly.

About sizes, foundations, permits, materials, power, delivery, repairs and scheduling.

Getting started

Is the estimate really free?

Yes. The Free Estimate comes with no obligation. You see the size, the materials, the site work and the schedule in writing before anything is ordered or started.

What areas do you serve?

Nashville and nearby communities across Middle Tennessee, including Franklin, Brentwood, Hendersonville, Mt. Juliet, Smyrna and more. See the service areas page for the full list.

What do you build?

Custom storage sheds, workshops, man caves, detached garages, carports, pole barns and specialty buildings, plus the site work, foundations, finishes and repairs that go with them.

Can I hire you for a small shed?

Yes. Many calls are for one backyard shed, a repair or a new door, and we welcome them as much as a large garage.

Sizes and materials

What size shed do I need?

Start with what must fit inside, then add room to walk and a little for the future. Our size picker and design studio help you test footprints before you decide.

Should I choose wood, metal or resin?

Wood is the most flexible for custom sizes and finishes, metal suits carports and utility needs and resin suits small prefab sheds. We explain the tradeoffs in plain language.

Can the building match my house?

Yes. Siding, trim colors, roof lines and windows can be chosen to echo your home, within what your neighborhood and HOA allow.

Sites and foundations

What foundation does a shed need?

It depends on size, soil and use. Gravel pads, concrete piers, skids and slabs each fit different buildings, and we choose after looking at the lot.

Does my yard need to be flat?

Not perfectly. Gentle slopes can be leveled or built around, and we plan drainage so water does not collect under or against the building.

Do you handle clearing and grading?

Yes, from small leveling jobs to cutting a pad, and we coordinate larger earthwork with the right professionals.

Permits and rules

Do I need a permit?

Often yes for larger or wired buildings, and sometimes for smaller ones. Rules depend on size, use and location, so we help you check with Metro Codes or your city and your HOA before building.

What are setbacks?

Setbacks are the minimum distances a building must keep from property lines and other structures. We measure and mark them before work starts.

Can you help with plans?

Yes. We prepare simple drawings and sketches for permit review and for you to approve, and coordinate engineering when a building needs it.

Scheduling and prep

How long does a build take?

A small shed can take a few days after the site is ready. Garages and barns take longer, and weather, permits and special orders affect the schedule. We give you written dates.

Do I need to be home?

It helps at the start and at the walkthrough. We mostly need clear access to the build area and a few simple preparations.

How early should I book?

As early as you can. Spring and fall are busy, and permits and special-order doors can add time.
