If you need it sooner than that, we may have an in stock building or have a prime option to get your building quicker.

We have nearly 50 different vinyl siding colors, 10 standard shingles and 21 metal color as our standard options.
If one of those doesn't work, no problem.
Any siding or roofing that is available for home insulation we can install.
Additional cost may apply depending on product, which would be standard in the home industry, as well as any sourcing goods and shipping fees that may apply.
Should I get a ramp?
A ramp is a necessary option for those who are needing to drive their lawn equipment, atvs or car into the building, and if you don't have it, usually you wish you did.
Should I get vents?
Vents are highly recommended and included with any structure.
If you don't want them, please let us know in advance.
Permits:
Do I need a permit?
We recommend that you check with your local township, while we do not require a permit on our end, some townships do require permits.
Can you take care of getting the permits?
Depending on where you are located we can take care of pulling permits for an additional fee.
If I pull the permits do you provide drawings?
Yes, we can provide drawings. For garage drawings there is a $500 deposit required.
When the building is purchased the $400 goes towards the building cost.
Can you get engineered drawings?
Yes, if your town does not accept our standard in house drawings, we can work with outside engineering companies to get engineered drawings.
The engineered drawings are an additional cost and are non refundable.
Can you do 3D drawings
Yes and no, depending on what you need.
Most all our standard shed lines with standard options we produce a 3D image for.
Don't hesitate to ask. Only takes us a few minutes to do.
Site prep:
Do you offer site prep?
Yes, we offer this service in some areas.
What do I need for site prep?
For sheds we recommend making a rock pad 6" minimum bigger than the building size on all sides.
We typically level the area, lay down weed barrier and then use 4’’ – 5’’ (3/4" CA6) crushed rock.
For non portable buildings with a concrete floor you want to put down a 4’’ concrete slab with footers.
Can you take care of site prep?
Yes. We can include that as part of the shed purchase and coordinate it with our site prep crew, if you are within our zone.
We ship farther than we prep sites, largely due to costs and contracts in areas less served.
Contact us for more info.
Can I use concrete blocks?
will raise the setup height, but yes. Blocks will need to be level with each other and use a minimum of 4” thick".
They will need to be placed 4’ OC down each runner.
For example, a 12’ wide shed will have 5 runners.
If the shed is 16’ long, you’ll need 5 (1 block starts at 0). 5 runners X 5 blocks per runner = 25 blocks.
We can install blocks at time of delivery and supply the blocks as well, but needs to be ordered when the shed is purchased and not the day of delivery.
Contact for more details.
Can you get rid of my old shed?
Yes. If you provide pictures and it is safe to haul it away, we can give you an estimate for us to remove it.
If the shed is in bad condition we have a crew that can come out and demo it onsite.
Delivery:
How far do you travel?
We are located in Central IL, but we work all over the state and surrounding areas.
How much room do I need to get my building in?
Typically you will need an opening 2’ – 3’ wider than the building.
Example, if you have a 14’ wide shed you should have a 16’ – 17’ wide opening.
I have a 3’ or 6’ wide gate, what should I do?
We can either build the building onsite for an additional cost, or
you can have the fence taken down prior to delivery and then reinstalled, which is usually a cheaper option than building onsite.
Do you take down fences?
Unfortunately we don’t take down fences, it is your responsibility to take down the fence prior to delivery.
If we arrive onsite and do not have access, there will be an additional charge.
When does my building get delivered?
Our deliveries happen from Monday- Friday and occasionally on Saturdays.
Our dispatcher will attempt to give you a 3-4 hour time frame of approximate arrival and then the delivery driver will call ½ hr before arrival.
Can I have Saturday delivery?
Depending where you are located, we may be able to accommodate your request for an additional fee.
Does the truck need to go into my yard?
Yes and no, depending on conditions. Our delivery drivers have small forklifts on the truck called a “Mule” which is used when necessary.
2 sets of flotation wheels go on one side of the building and then the mule goes on the other side and can pull the shed right into place.
Will my yard be damaged?
The mule is very good at not causing yard damage, but you will have tire marks pressing down the grass and
if it is muddy you may have small tracks in your yard. If you are concerned, we do offer rubber mats that will eliminate majority of any
damage and can be used for an additional charge.
How long will the driver be at my house?
Normally we figure less than one hour for a shed delivery.
If it is a double wide garage, it may take the driver 1-2 hours.
