The quality of their work is top-notch, they stay on budget, and everything runs smoothly from start to finish. Their design sense is excellent and they always manage to get things done right on time. I can’t recommend them enough, truly a reliable, talented, and easy-to-work-with crew."

"Finally an honest Solar company!! I went through several companies trying to get quotes for one of my properties, either they were ridiculously expensive or they didn't return my calls. A friend of mine referred me to Mega Sun and I have to say I am very pleased. Within a couple days from the initial phone call I already had an estimate and once i decided to go with them the installation was completed in one week. Its been a little over a month since they completed the install and everything is working smoothly.

I was amazed at just how great the customer service was. I just want to say thank you to the whole team who helped out, I really appreciate all your hard work. Now I know you guys are the ones to call for all future jobs."

"Gary Tracht and his crew, Candido Marin and Abelardo Portillo, spent much of the last 16 months on a massive renovation of my two-unit home on Vesta Street in San Francisco. We initially hoped the task was limited to a termite problem in a front bedroom on the second of three stories on our home so got a simple, over-the-counter permit for repairs. But the termites had gone through the siding down into the front and south sides of the house and into two bedrooms on the ground level. Worse, Covid restrictions came into place and the City tried to shut down our renovations as "non-essential." All this with a mean rain season the first year and leaks to contain. Gary, Candido, and Abelardo had to carve off the whole front off the home and the whole south side to repair the damage, and they found a weak foundation on the front half of this historic two-unit building, which had to be re-poured and placed. Gary enlisted Kevin O'Connor, Inc to do engineering plans and pull additional permits as the City evolved into a new nightmare, on-line permitting process, which Kevin learned and navigated like the pro engineer he is. The building was carved out down to the dirt, a foundation poured, and four bedrooms re-framed, hardwood floors lovingly installed, custom stucco on the front and Hardiplank siding on the south wall, stair replacement, etc. They are very good with drywall and base molding replacements. The finish on those walls is smooth and perfect. Your eyes are happy to travel over the new paint, onto the base moldings and around closets and windows trims. A renovation at this scale is complex, and included electrical permit/inspection etc. Colm at Graham Plastering was the contractor (whom my family has used three times) placing tinted stucco on the face of the building that resembles marble! We got final on time for the whole job this month. Also, this job was cost effective and so was Kevin O'Conner, Inc (whom I have put onto additional, well performed work as I am an insurance adjuster)."

"This was the second project Rob performed for us. The results were top notch. Rob is great at working with others, as evidenced by the cooperation he gets from subcontractors (electrical, texturing) that worked on the project. The job was completed without any delays or change orders. Additionally, if you are not looking for a complete remodel, ask to see pictures of his custom furniture or cabinets he has completed. He is truly an artist with wood. If you are looking for tremendous results and a very pleasant experience with a contractor, Rob is your man."

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse building service projects in Cool, CA

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.
