"They had to tear down existing deck and replace with composite decking. Finished product looks great. They also did some landscaping around the pool which also looks great. I would definitely recommend Brock Marshall and crew and will be using them again."

"Everything was done correctly and properly and allowed me to check off two more projects before winter set in. Both Mark and Simon (and Tim) were professional, but also friendly and easy to talk to. Enjoyed the the time I spent with them. Would highly recommend them, as well as will reach out next spring for some additional projects I have plan for our old house."

"Trino and his two men worked well and got the whole kitchen done in a timely way. The work was VERY good and can recommend them for your job. This was to repkace the flooring, add a couple electric lines, run a waterline across the floor to new fridge, install new cabinetry and paint the walls! Bob"

"Excellent. Jeff has been great to work with; he is personable and accommodating to making our space exactly how we wanted it. We had a large screened room and deck added to the back of the house, as well as two windows taken out of our dining room and French doors put in. The new deck area makes my house feel significantly bigger and our family has already begun enjoying this new outdoor space. Hinsford provides good quality work with sturdy construction and materials. I plan to continue working with Hinsford Building in the future."

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse building service projects in Cincinnati, OH

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.
