His hard work, attention to detail, and professionalism was refreshing to see in a contractor is South Florida and the pricing was more than fair. I have dealt with a lot of contractors in the past to mixed reviews but I am sure that I will we working with David and JGB in the future."

"I recently used Garage Makeovers to revamp my cluttered garage, and I couldn't be happier with the results. The team was professional, efficient, and attentive to my needs. The quality of work and materials used was great. From consultation to completion, the process was smooth and efficient. My garage is now both functional and visually appealing. Highly recommend!"

"I opened the door to the garage one day and there was light coming in the original 1959 wooden garage door and i realized it was bowing out and the header was slipping down. I talked to garage door companies and they were unwilling to touch it because it would require structural engineering to bring up to hurricane code. No handyman would touch it because it was too big of a job for them, and I talked to several general contractors who would either refer me to a structural engineer who couldn't seem to coordinate with anyone, or they weren't interested because it wasn't a big job. One contractor said he only did highrises. And then I talked to Lenny, and he wound up coordinating everything and everyone. The county inspections, the extra electrical work, the engineering, the concrete work and the rebar work, custom sizes, everything. Very happy!
The crew came out, worked quickly & professionally, cleaned up after themselves. Lenny was very responsive and always returned phone calls in a timely fashion. The price was more than reasonable.
I am working on my house piecemeal, and I would not hesitate to use him again.I just wish I had found him for the last big job!

"I had a wonderful experience working with Zahir and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home. I always viewed home repairs, renovations, or even new constructions as a long, hectic, and quite confusing process, however Zahir guided me through every step. He led with care and my best interest in mind. He remained attentive to details and was very easy to communicate with throughout the process. Zahir worked diligently to ensure all my goals were met. Thank you for all the hard work and if I am ever in the market looking for further projects, I will definitely prefer to work with Zahir again."

"Builders were fast, clean and knowledgeable. Built four ramps for my recently handicapped daughter. Contractor knew proper specs for safety and completed the job more quickly than expected. Would highly recommend for any project. Was awaiting quote from another contractor that submitted a higher bid for the job, and bid arrived after ramps were completed."

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse building service projects in Fort Lauderdale, FL

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.
