"The whole process, from designing the shed to actually building the shed, was done professionally. I really liked the crews communicating with my wife and I on arrival and/or weather delays. The crews left our yard just like it was, clean and tidy, before leaving."

Customers say: Quality work

"Working with Safe Space Construction was pretty much stellar. Steve consulted with us about what we wanted, made a few suggestions, and gave us estimates for different materials (along with info about the pros and cons of each). The crew came and demolished the old, rotten deck in surprisingly little time, and proceeded to build the new, improved deck. They are all very skilled, and both courteous and personable. We're very happy with the result, and can't wait to start entertaining out there!"

"Jonathan is Very easy to work with and has Excellent knowledge of the work he does. He’s always on time and gets the job done in a timely manner. He has excellent ethics. For example, when he built my stairs for my back porch, I told him they were only going to be temporary, but he explained to me, no matter if it’s temporary or permanent, safety is the main Priority. He also built them to my specifications with only a 5 inch rise instead of the standard 7 inch rise, which makes it much easier for me to be able to get up and down my steps. He and his team also did my vaulted ceilings, all my window frames, baseboards and anywhere else that needed trim work, etc. excellent excellent work."

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse building service projects in Austin, TX

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.
