"Tom and his crew rebuilt our composite deck in the June-July 2018 time frame. We could not be happier with the job. The Built To Last crew was very professional and definitely went the extra mile to ensure that the rebuilt deck was better than new. Everything is very secure and tight. During the construction, Tom made several suggestions to keep the price down while not compromising quality and our satisfaction. Tom provided price transparencies for all materials. Greatly appreciated! We would definitely use Tom and his crew again. Highly recommend Built To Last Construction. Just as a note... this was a very large deck with a great deal of work."

"Mike and Johnny did a great job! They gave a good quote and said they could start the following week. They did the job faster than quoted and were very meticulous with the details. They were even on their hands and knee wiping dust off our floors before they left each day. Already looking at hiring for another project we are working on!"

"Mark did an incredible job remodeling my kitchen! The job was a full kitchen remodel, from the floor up. I appreciated that throughout the entire job, he was consistently patient and did the job right. There were a few surprises in the remodel after demolition was completed. With each surprise, he consistently chose the option that was right for my house and not necessarily the easiest or quickest route. He was also patient to explain what needed to be done and why. Finally, I truly appreciate that he is a trustworthy contractor. I had to leave most days during the job and it was so comforting to know that I had a contractor that I could fully trust. Mark did the job right and it was done with excellence. I highly recommend him for any remodel or construction job you have at your home!"

"I was very pleased. The worker (Rusty) who performed the job was friendly and all around pleasant. He worked on it non-stop to get the job done in one day and done professionally. I'm very pleased with the workmanship. The gutters were custom made on site and gutter guards were installed as well. I like that it ended up being cheaper than anyone else saving me some extra $$. When he left, there was no mess at all including any signs of the old gutters and hardware."

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse building service projects in Farmington, MI

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.
