"While they were not the experts on my particular project, they contacted another company to confirm that they would work and then let me know. Very nice people that took time out of their day to help me out!"

"A rare excellent experience. I have had a few bad ones in a row, but this was well above in quality of work, communication, value, service, courtesy, and promptness. I can recommend them with confidence. The project began with deck repair, but thanks to Moldez, I discovered a rotting sill plate and sub floor, and was able to complete the hidden damage repair, and the deck repair, without complications successfully."

"The original front porch on our house was unusable because it was less than 4 feet deep and the wood floor was unstable and slanting. John drew up detailed plans for the Upper Arlington Building Department which were approved. He demolished the original front porch and built an entirely new front porch that is 8-feet deep, with bead-board ceiling and beautiful trim. The project resulted in a remarkable improvement in our house's curb appeal and functionality. John was professional, punctual, creative and reasonable throughout the scope of the project. I would hire him again."

"Great work! I liked being able to put in my request online. Trey got in touch after the initial request to set up a date for the work to be done. Richard did a fantastic job with the bathroom “mini-renovation”! He was ON TIME, professional and knowledgeable. Everything took a couple of days and cost approximately $900. I would hire them again for EVERYTHING I need repaired or replaced around my house! Totally happy with them!"

"Gary was a terrific service-provider from the first call forward.  Returned my request for service call promptly, met with me within days to look over the scope of the job, provided suggestions on the spot about the best way to repair what was wrong, was the only person that I brought out who recognized why rot took place at the back of the garage (faulty metal roof installation).
He gave a verbal, charge-by-the-hour estimate and stated an approximate week he would be free to tackle the job.  He came exactly when he said he would and in the span of about 2 and one half days started and finished the job.  He did as good a job on the wood repair (matching the trim, making sure to prime wood properly) as a carpenter would and he completely solved our roof issue by adding a metal stop to the back of the roof, underneath the original flashing (correcting what should have been done when the metal roof was initially installed).   He also did a wonderful job trouble shooting how to fix a decorative element in the front of the garage (a horizontal wood panel above the garage doors that gathered water from the vertical barn board siding above it).  He pulled and replaced that panel and put a drip cap type fix underneath it.
He is versatile and professional.  Worked with his father in-law on the job and had no discomfort doing a lot by tall ladder.  Did a terrific job cleaning up  by bagging all the discarded wood in heavy duty garbage bags so they could easily be placed out on the curb for garbage pick up.  Finally he also took the time to tell us that we had potential issues with carpenter ants.  Even saved the damaged wood so that my husband, who is an entomologist, could look it over and identify the type of ants.  His final price, although not inexpensive, was completely in line with the other 2 estimates I had received.  I certainly feel his work was worth it!

"This project went so well, I am ready to sign-on with JRush to redo my 2nd bath immediately!
From initial consult, Justin and his team were receptive to my ideas, provided guidance and suggestions, but proved they were 'in it' to make me happy!
Whenever possible, they did the materials pickup, so I didn't have to worry about lugging a vanity or shower doors or marble vanity top in my own car!  They helped me to understand what I needed to choose and how much I needed (tile, paint, etc) and then they dug right in!
The did the demolition - hauled away all the detritus except what could be donated to Habitat for Humanity - and there was little evidence when I got home from work that they'd even been there!  they cleaned up after themselves so well that some days I really didn't know whether they'd come or not, until I checked the progress in the bathroom.  
We experienced a slight delay due to my late selection of the sink and countertop, but as soon as these items were available, JRush was in my home and working.
Overall, the project took 2 weeks, start to finish, but it was the fastest and easiest 2 weeks you could imagine!  I would - and have already - highly recommend this group for projects of this scale, especially where tile work is involved because the attention to detail in my shower - wall tile, floor tile, decorative tiled niches - and my floor tile - is art-work quality. 
So, in a nutshell, this group did
demolition
plumbing
tile work
painting
lighting"

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse building service projects in Galena, 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.
