About The Shedfather
We're a Texas‑proud, family‑run company that designs, builds, and installs storage sheds, playhouses, and backyard structures built to outlast Gulf‑Coast weather.
No. We're locally owned, locally managed, and every dollar you spend stays right here in Texas.
Stronger framing (2×4 studs 16″ OC with double top plates), customization without nickel‑and‑dime up‑charges, and a single point of contact from quote to final walk‑through.
Products & Materials
From 6×8 lawn-mower sheds to 16×40 barn-style workshops. If you can sketch it, we can likely build it.
Yes. Floor joists and skids are ground-contact rated. Side-wall studs and rafters are premium kiln-dried SPF.
30-year architectural shingles (standard) or 29-gauge R-panel metal in 20+ colors. We can match your home’s roof if you’d like.
We rough-in conduit chases and venting points on request. A licensed electrician or plumber must make final connections to meet local code.
Customization
Extremely. Extra doors, transom windows, lofts, interior partitions, LP Smart Floor, insulation, Hardie® siding—if it’s code-compliant, we’ll quote it.
Absolutely. Provide the color code and we spray with Sherwin-Williams Emerald exterior paint.
Yes. On-site builds run 10–15 % more due to crew time, but they avoid crane fees and yard damage.
Ordering Process
Call, text, or start a build in our online Shed Configurator. You’ll receive a line-item estimate within one business day.
30 days. Lumber markets swing, so lock your price with a $500 deposit.
2–3 weeks in off-season, 4–6 weeks March–July. We schedule delivery the moment your floor system hits the production line.
Payment & Financing
ACH, credit/debit, Apple Pay, checks, or good old cash.
Yes—0 % for 12 months (subject to credit) or rent-to-own with no credit check.
50 % at order and the remaining 50 % on delivery. Financing plans vary; full details are in your quote.
Delivery & Installation
We use a Shed Mule (motorized dolly) that can slip through a 68″ gate without tearing up your yard. For tight spaces we build on-site.
We level each skid with concrete blocks at no extra cost. For garages or heavy workshops, we recommend a concrete slab (you provide).
We level up to 12″ total variance. Beyond that, we’ll quote a custom pier system.
Permits & HOA
Inside Houston city limits, yes—we pull and post permits. In other jurisdictions we provide engineered drawings; the homeowner files the permit.
Absolutely. We supply site plans, color samples, and photos. Our approval rate is 99.99 %.
Warranty & After-Care
10 years on workmanship, lifetime against termite damage on pressure-treated components, and 30 years manufacturer warranty on shingles/siding.
Re-paint every 5–7 years, clear roof debris twice a year, keep vegetation 6″ away. We offer annual check-ups for $99.
Case-by-case. Send photos and we’ll quote repairs.
Returns & Cancellations
Fully refundable within 3 business days of signing. After that, we keep material costs incurred.
Our pre-site check prevents surprises. If access is blocked, we can build on-site or reschedule for a $250 trip fee.
Miscellaneous
Yes, starting at $4 per loaded mile plus set‑up fees.
Standard builds meet 140 mph wind uplift when anchored to a slab. Ask about our coastal upgrade kit for 160 mph.
