We aim to have most buildings constructed within 1-2 days.  Sometimes, it may take longer, depending on the circumstances of your particular installation. Our buildings are pre-cut, making the construction process quick and straightforward for our installers.

It is not necessary to be present during every stage of the installation. We ask that someone be present initially to show the installers where to place the building and, upon completion, after we have installed your building.  We perform a final walk-through with the customer, accept the payment and sign the completion paperwork.

We can construct your building on an existing slab if it is square and level and meets the exact dimensions of the shed you are ordering. Please contact us for approval if you want your building to be constructed on a slab. Due to the additional labor to retrofit and specialty materials needed, there is no discount or reduction in price for installing on a concrete slab.

No, we do not offer any Do-It-Yourself products at this time. All of our buildings are handcrafted on your lot or pre-built and delivered to your site.

The standard building includes the basic structure, including the floor and roof as well as our standard 41in shed door. There are no additional accessories like windows included in the building price, but you can order more options to customize your building at an additional cost. Caulking and Painting is not included, however the building will come primed and ready for paint. *Garden Cottage comes with dormer windows only

Our outbuildings are made to last. We use materials that are meant for installation on homes:

• Pressure-treated 4×4 skids made for in-ground use
• 2×4 floor joists every 12 inches (most of our competition use 16-inch floor spacing)
• Heavy Duty ProStruct Flooring (made specifically for shed flooring)
• 2×4 kiln-dried wall studs every 16 inches (Most competitors use 24-inch wall spacing)
• Double top plates/single bottom plates with no splices (increases the integrity of structure)
• Full Dimension window and door headers
• Quality Engineered T-1-11 house siding
• Quality 1-1¼ inch coordinating house trim materials
• Trusses joined with sturdy steel plates
• Roofing underlayment
• Architectural Laminate Shingles

Yes, our sheds are meant for customization and design by our customers and only include a standard shed door so that you can add or upgrade the building. We offer a wide variety of options and accessories to tailor the building to fit your exact needs.

Our buildings come primed and ready for paint. We usually offer caulking and paint for your building, but in some service areas, this is not available. For warranty activation, caulking and painting must be done within 90 days of construction. Doors must be painted on both sides and all four edges. All horizontal, vertical, and diagonal trim should be caulked as well as any seams in the siding.

We offer the best warranty in the industry. Better Built Barns sheds have a 10-year limited warranty, so you can have peace of mind.  To activate your warranty, you will need to paint the buiding within 3 months and send us your photos.  You will initially be sent a 5 year warranty.  You will be eligible for a warranty renewal after 5 years, if you re-paint your building and submit your photos a second time.

You can use our 3D BUILDER online or you can call or email us with your information and get an estimate on the building you want. Once your estimate is accepted, you can place the order by placing a 1/2 down deposit. At this time, Better Built Barns will reach out to schedule the appointment for installation. If you need to wait for site prep, we can put your order on hold until you are ready to schedule.

We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, check, or cash. Additionally, we offer financing on approved credit or have payment options with no credit check.  Inquire with our sales team for more information on the financing or payment plan options.

It is very important to have someone you can trust in your backyard. All our installers have passed a background check and completed our training program before they ever step foot on your site. Because they are a part of our team, they have a vested interest in the company and the product that we are producing. Better Built Barns, Inc. is also a licensed, bonded, and insured corporation.

Yes, we offer financing through Greensky or Salal Credit union with loan products that are similar to an auto loan.  We also have products with no credit check like the Rent-To-Own program through RTO National or we offer an in house payment plan that we call the Easy Pay Installment Plan.  Whichever plan you choose, we aim to make the financing process as simple and straightforward as possible to get you into your new dream shed!

While our typical lead time is 2-4 weeks, we can get booked out 8+ weeks during shed season (Sept.-Nov.)  If you are thinking of getting your shed built in the fall, it would be advised to get your deposit in and a date reserved ahead of time and you are welcome to edit the details of the order (except for special order items) up until 1 week before installation.

We build outbuildings from 6x8 to 24x40.  Most buidlings we install are shed sizes 200 sq ft or less, but we build garages and larger structures as well. 

Our pricing may vary from competitors, but we believe our higher-quality materials and construction justify any difference. If you're comparing quotes, we're happy to explain the value we provide. Or, if you're concerned about price, we can customize a structure that meets your budget without compromising on quality.
