Who is 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.

What makes you different from big‑box stores?

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.

What sizes and styles do you offer?

From 6×8 lawn-mower sheds to 16×40 barn-style workshops. If you can sketch it, we can likely build it.

Do you use pressure-treated lumber?

Yes. Floor joists and skids are ground-contact rated. Side-wall studs and rafters are premium kiln-dried SPF.

What roofing options are available?

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.

Can I add electricity or plumbing?

We rough-in conduit chases and venting points on request. A licensed electrician or plumber must make final connections to meet local code.

How customized can I get?

Extremely. Extra doors, transom windows, lofts, interior partitions, LP Smart Floor, insulation, Hardie® siding—if it’s code-compliant, we’ll quote it.

Can you match my HOA’s paint palette?

Absolutely. Provide the color code and we spray with Sherwin-Williams Emerald exterior paint.

Do you build on-site if my gate is too narrow?

Yes. On-site builds run 10–15 % more due to crew time, but they avoid crane fees and yard damage.

How do I get a quote?

Call, text, or start a build in our online Shed Configurator. You’ll receive a line-item estimate within one business day.

How long is the quote good for?

30 days. Lumber markets swing, so lock your price with a $100 deposit.

What’s the lead time?

2–3 weeks in off-season, 4–6 weeks March–July. We schedule delivery the moment your floor system hits the production line.

What payment methods do you accept?

ACH, credit/debit, Apple Pay, checks, or good old cash.

Do you offer financing?

Yes—0 % for 12 months (subject to credit) or rent-to-own with no credit check.

Is there a down payment?

50 % at order and the remaining 50 % on delivery. Financing plans vary; full details are in your quote.

How is my shed delivered?

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.

Do I need a foundation?

We level each skid with concrete blocks at no extra cost. For garages or heavy workshops, we recommend a concrete slab (you provide).

What if my yard isn’t level?

We level up to 12″ total variance. Beyond that, we’ll quote a custom pier system.

Will you handle city permits?

Inside Houston city limits, yes—we pull and post permits. In other jurisdictions we provide engineered drawings; the homeowner files the permit.

Do you help with HOA approval?

Absolutely. We supply site plans, color samples, and photos. Our approval rate is 99.99 %.

What warranty do you offer?

10 years on workmanship, lifetime against termite damage on pressure-treated components, and 30 years manufacturer warranty on shingles/siding.

What maintenance is required?

Re-paint every 5–7 years, clear roof debris twice a year, keep vegetation 6″ away. We offer annual check-ups for $99.

Do you service sheds you didn’t build?

Case-by-case. Send photos and we’ll quote repairs.

Can I cancel my order?

Fully refundable within 3 business days of signing. After that, we keep material costs incurred.

What if the shed doesn’t fit on delivery day?

Our pre-site check prevents surprises. If access is blocked, we can build on-site or reschedule for a $250 trip fee.

Do you move existing sheds?

Yes, starting at $4 per loaded mile plus set‑up fees.

Are your sheds hurricane‑rated?

Standard builds meet 140 mph wind uplift when anchored to a slab. Ask about our coastal upgrade kit for 160 mph.

Do you offer discounts?

Veterans, first‑responders, and teachers receive 5 % off the base price year‑round. Seasonal promos appear on our offers page.
