"I hired Olsen to fix the leak in my shed's roof. Olsen came and looked at the damage and got back to me very fast about what is needed to repair the shed. Olsen was very professional when we spoke to on the phone and he explained everything. He went about and beyond to get the products that were needed to fix the shed. When he came to fix the shed, he did it professionally and made sure everything was completely fixed. The work was done very well and I am very happy with the service given to me by Olsen. I highly recommend Olsen's Renovations."

"We had our entire house, 3 car garage and smaller shed completely re-sided and painted through Handymack. The work was fast, cost effective, and beautiful. Everyone was extremely professional and worked with us with every request we had. Judy, Mack wife, was amazing to work with. She was so sweet and did not hesitate to call if they had questions about a paint color, light fixture or our experience. They also tore down our previous front porch and built a new one. It is absolutely beautiful and exactly what we wanted. I will 100% hire this company again for the re-modeling of the interior of our home. Thank you Handy Mack"

"Craig and his team did an outstanding job building our custom cedar deck! Their work was meticulous, and the end result exceeded my expectations. Craig was amazing to work with—professional, dedicated, and truly invested in delivering quality craftsmanship. I highly recommend Craig and his team, and I’ll definitely be using them for all of my future outdoor and indoor projects!"

"We needed handicap bars in the shower for my mother so we checked Angies list and found Frank. He's such a nice guy. He gave us a quote over the phone and was here 30 minutes later. He even told us about the Angies list coupon he has to save us money. You can't find a more honest person. Thanks Frank and good luck."

"THE CO. REMOVED THE OLD DRIVEWAY ASPHALT, LEVELED THE GROUND, REMOVED OLD DEBRIS, AND REPAVED WITH NEW ASPHALT. THE DRIVEWAY LOOKS GREAT. THEY LEFT THE PLACE VERY CLEAN AND WHILE DOING THE JOB DID NOT INCONVENIENCE ME IN ANY WAY.THE COST WAS APROX $3200
ON THE 2ND CONTRACT, THEY SIDED AND REPLACED THE WINDOWS IN MY OLD BARN, WHICH WAS CONVERTED TO A GARAGE MANY YEARS AGO. THE BARN WAS NEVER SIDED (WAS BUILT IN 1912) .THEY INSTALLED THE SIDING, THE NEW WINDOWS, REPAIRED THE DAMAGED WOOD, CLEANED AND PREPED THE GARAGE, INSTALLED INSULATION, CREATED A SOFFIT (THE BARN HAD NEVER HAD A SOFFIT). REFRAMED AND SHIMMED THE NEW FRAMES AND INSTALLED NEW ALUMINUM TRIM ALL AROUND.MY BARN NOW LOOKS LIKE A COMPLETELY NEW STRUCTURE.
ONCE AGAIN THEY CAME AND DID THE JOB, EFFICIENTLY, CLEANLY, AND DID NOT INCONVENIENCE ME.
I WAS ALSO VERY PLEASED WITH THE COST
MY NEXT BIG JOB WILL BE FINISHING MY BASEMENT NEXT YEAR AND I WILL MAKE SURE TO GIVE THEM A CALL WHEN I AM READY.

"I was giving myself some time because the work was supposed to be done in the cold weather.  I wanted to give him more time to get a little stronger and see how it goes.  He was good and was good to deal with.  He came the day when he was supposed to come.  He was a good person to be with and talk to.  So far, the tuckpointing work is holding.  I don't know how long the tuckpointing would take to see the real scene because he was doing it in the cold weather.  The price was fine and more and less it was the same price as others.  He was a nice person.  My first experience with this person has been nice so far."

"I knew it was going to be challenging to find an investor that would lend me money for this real estate venture.  I have lived 20 years in a four unit historic condominium building in downtown Jersey City and I wanted to buy the unit above me as an investment property.  But with Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac rules, they would not give me a loan because I would own half the building and this would give me too much control over condo association decisions.  I checked with Angie's List where Central Lending was well recommended and spoke with Mark, the president of Central Lending, about my situation and that I needed an unconventional loan outside of Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac oversights.  After many disappointments and on the very last day of my contract with the seller, Mark found a lender.  And on the very last day of the window to the loan, it closed.  I cannot thank Mark and his assistant Judy enough for their patience and steadfast of seeing this through.  I cannot tell you the emotional roller-coaster ride I went through during the 4 1/2 month duration.  There were many moments that I wanted to give up but Mark reassured me that the sale would happen.  Without Mark's personal intervention with the lender and title company, this deal would not have closed.   You can be sure that when I am in the market to buy unit #3, I will not hesitate to contact Central Lending.  Thank you so much."

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse building service projects in Howard Beach, NY

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.
