"The work done was excellent. This tabletop is over 75 years old and was part of a family piece of furniture. When it was dropped and broke, it was a great personal loss. Rodney did a wonderful job of putting it back together. I would definitely recommend him again."

Customers say: True professional

"We couldn't be happier with the finished project of our screened in porch and new deck!! It came out even more beautiful than we imagined. The wide screen system gives us unobstructed views of our property and the new deck is perfect. What we noticed immediately about Sergio and his crew was their attention to detail. Triple measuring to ensure accuracy, always consulting with us along the way and willing to make changes when we wanted to alter the plans. Sergio is so patient, as we changed our plans several times before we decided on the screen room. We can't say enough about the professionalism and talent of Sergio and his crew. Their work ethic is admirable. They are kind and respectful. At the end of the day the area was always cleaned and debris picked up. Our new deck and screen room is so solid and sturdy. And it looks like it's been here since the day we built our house 14 years ago. It doesn't look like it was just added on. That's how well it blends in. Everyone that comes over says the same thing! Also the county inspector said said it was rare that such a big project only had a couple minor things that needed to be tweaked. You will not be sorry if you hire these guys. We are planning to hire them again for some indoor projects. We won't use anyone else! You will not be sorry you hired Antonio's Remodeling! And we are already planning to use them again for some indoor projects!"

"Rich did a great job adding custom shelving to two closets in my home. He was very professional and arrived at the time that we agreed to. No messes were left behind when the work was done. My closets look great now and have so much more storage space!"

"Scott was upfront, honest & and answered all my questions. He was able to get my shed built within a week and a half of my first contact with him. He did everything including ground prep. All we had to do was pay him! My husband is very impressed with the construction & feels it is solid & well worth the money spent. Hands down Scott was the best price around & able to build much faster than any that sell pre-fab buildings. We really appreciate his integrity & good work. Hard to find these days. Contact him for all your shed & storage building needs!"

"Well, until they left. Randy was to return to 1) replace a cast iron shower pan that cracked during installation 3) fix the buckled vinyl flooring his crew put in one bathroom and the pantry and 3) mount a chimney cap. Never did. But the worst is that Randy took a 200 year old slab of old-growth pine (approximately 30" wide by 42" long by 2.5" thick) salvaged from my great-great-grandparents' home and promise me a coffee table. TWO YEARS LATER I CAN'T EVEN GET THE SLAB BACK."

"We could not be happier with this company. Starting with the designer, to the very end of the project, every step of the way went perfect. It is often hard to find a company where all of the workers really care about how things are done. All of the workers were so professional and skillful. They were here everyday right on time and worked so hard to make sure everything was how we wanted it. They left our home cleaned each day and really took precautions to reduce dust and noise. The final results exceeded our expectations and we would only use this company for any future projects. They are truly outstanding!"

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse building service projects in Durham, NC

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.
