"Initial rep was great and informative. Felt comfortable with initial sale. Hardly had any contact from customer service except for the payments. There were several delays that we were not informed about unless we called to ask. Took 7 months before they showed up to begin project. Only 1 person was sent to build steps. Took a week. Hard worked, hardly took a break. Had to call again to see when they would come to pour patio. Never knew when they were coming, they just showed up. Hardly spoke with the homeowners. Inspection paperwork was just left on porch. Additional paperwork that is "required by the County" had to be completed by homeowner and taken to Court house to be notarized and filed and also provide a copy back to Long Fence. Time sensitive materials which added to homeowners to-do list. Gave this contract to LF on the surface of their history and appearance of a 'good local company' but should have stayed with original contactors in VA. Puddle of water forms when it rains"

S & S Ceramic Tile: Your Trusted Ceramic Tile Experts in Washington D.C. Specializing in Ceramic Tile and Marble Repair, Replacement, and Remodeling. Contact us today for all your tile needs.

"Ali Rajabi, the owner of S&S Ceramic Tile, is as good as it gets as a tile craftsman and business owner! Ali completed two tile jobs at our house. The first involved removing the existing tiles from around a tub and retiling the surface using marble tiles with a mosaic accent row. The other job involved removing existing flooring from a small bathroom and retiling it using ceramic tiles. His work is outstanding, and he pays attention to even the smallest details to make sure each tile cut is exact and perfect. What you see is what you get with Ali. You don't get a person who has a large corporation behind him, looking to secure the next job. What you will get is a talented craftsman who is honest, professional, creative, hardworking, meticulous, and, most importantly, a man of high integrity. Ali does all of the tile work himself, and if other skilled professionals are needed, such as a plumber, he coordinated those services. The plumber he brought in to replace the 55-year-old hot, and cold faucets for the tub with a single handle was also top-notch. Ali genuinely has the customer's best interest in mind, both financially and stylistically. He looks for ways to save the customer money while achieving the best design options for your interest."

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse building service projects in Alexandria, VA

Most sheds larger than six feet by eight feet require a foundation to remain level and dry. A compact tool shed might get by without one, but anything heavier should sit on at least a 4-inch-thick stone-and-gravel pad that extends two feet past the walls. The gravel protects wood skids and promotes drainage. If you want maximum stability—and your budget allows—a poured concrete slab is the strongest option.

Your ideal shed size hinges on purpose. A common 10-by-12-foot kit gives you 120 square feet—plenty for lawn tools and bikes. Need just a spot for a mower and a few rakes? A compact 4-by-7-foot model should work. If you’re envisioning a workshop or hobby room, look at 12-by-16 feet or larger.

A good rule is to raise the shed floor four to six inches above the surrounding soil. That clearance encourages water to drain away instead of pooling beneath the structure. The simple step is especially important for wood floors and skids, helping deter rot, mold, and insect damage while extending the life of your new outbuilding.

Choose the route that fits your goals. Prefab sheds arrive in standard layouts and go up fast—perfect for basic storage on a tight timeline. Custom builds cost more and take longer, but let you add windows, wiring, plumbing, and unique finishes. Balance budget, features, and timeframe before deciding which type of shed is best for your needs.
