If your big-box shed lasted two winters, you’re not alone.

Most pre-fab sheds are designed for one job: hitting a price point. Three patterns we see when people call us to fix or replace one. These are the recurring stories from homeowners who tried the kit-shed route.

!

“The kit shed didn’t last three years.”

Kit sheds use particleboard or thin OSB panels, no real foundation, and staples instead of fasteners. We use treated lumber, proper sheathing, and a real foundation.

!

“The shed looks bolted onto the yard.”

Pre-fab sheds come with a fixed paint scheme and zero integration with the rest of the yard. We design finish, paint, and surround planting to actually match.

!

“The door is unusable after one winter.”

No sub-base, no engineered foundation, frame settles unevenly. Door and window frames bind. We pour concrete pier, slab, or skid foundations matched to soil and use.” from premium. We don’t install the cheap stuff.

!

“The seams are everywhere”

Bad seaming = visible lines forever. Our crew uses overlap-cut + proper seam tape + brushing direction — you don’t see where one piece ends and the next begins.

Frequently Asked

San Diego Garden Shed Installation FAQ

Real answers about foundations, permits, materials, and how a real shed differs from a kit.

How long does a custom shed installation take? +
Most sheds are 1 to 3 weeks of build time after a 1 week design and quote phase. Larger workshop or home-office sheds with electrical and finish work run 3 to 6 weeks total.
Do I need a permit for a shed in San Diego? +
Detached sheds under 120 sq ft typically do not require a permit in San Diego, though jurisdictions vary. Larger sheds, electrical work, or those near setbacks often do. We confirm before quoting.
What foundation options do you offer? +
Concrete slab (best for workshops), concrete piers (good for slope and breathability), and pressure-treated skid foundation (good for small storage sheds in flat areas). We pick based on use and soil.
What is a typical shed budget? +
Basic storage shed (8 by 10 ft on slab): $6K to $12K installed. Workshop shed with electrical (10 by 12 ft): $12K to $22K. Home-office or studio shed with insulation, finish, electrical: $25K to $55K+.
Can you match the shed to my house? +
Yes. Siding, paint, roofing material, and trim are picked to match the main house. We can also coordinate planting and pathways so the shed becomes part of the yard, not a thing bolted on.
What warranty comes with the shed? +
5-year workmanship guarantee on structure (foundation, framing, sheathing, roof). 1-year warranty on finish (paint, stain, sealers). Lifetime call-back. Electrical work covered separately under licensed electrician warranty.
