"Very professional - I had some issues with my neighborhood association, Chris, my foreman, took care of everything for me. My neighbor watched everything DDR was doing and had even talked to the the workers, he mentioned to me several times on what an excellent job they were doing and how professional they were. The salesperson who sold me the sunroom was also very knowledgeable and helped me with the many decisions I had to make. Cost - I had called several companies, including companies that just built sunrooms since that was was I was getting. DDR was overall the best price with the end result being more a part of my house than just a sunroom added. Informative - Since I had no clue as to the process of building an addition to my home, I found my foreman and workers to be very informative in keeping me in the loop on what was going on. Chris, my foreman, let me know each night who was coming the next day and what they were doing. Money well spent, I absolutely love my new sunroom and have had many compliments from friends and neighbors. Thanks DDR!"

Planning on more work for them in the spring"

"I do not remember the price, because I had done other things and we kind of incorporated all of it.  Overall it was excellent.  I had to call and have the container cleaned up for them to get rid of all the shingles and everything.  There were no nails, shingles or anything.  They covered the plants.  They were very good.  They were thorough, in and out. They did very fast, and I was really surprised.  They put in paint bars, air vents which I had not had but that what helped.  I had seen an advertisement on the internet and seen the name out there and through word of mouth.  I mean I was so pleased with their work; they had done most work for me since then.  They did a complete redo of the inside of my home.  They replaced the tiles, and they did my entire house.  They do really good work.  They did tile work, and they did my bathroom.  They paint, and they repaired my deck. The floor was good but the steps and things like that weren’t, so they redid that.  They redid my hardwood floor.   I had a wall between the living room and the kitchen and they actually cut out of a part of that wall and made a see through bar between there.  They do woodworking and everything, they are very good.  The pricing was very good because I had actually checked with some other people beforehand and they had a very competitive price.  The quality was excellent.  They cleaned up after everything and cleaned every day.  They were always there when they said they would be.  In fact I planned to use them, there is an addition that I wanted to do on to my deck, but I was kind of waiting until my income tax came in.  They also build an outbuilding from scratch and it is very nice.  They cleaned up after themselves every day before they left.  They are very very clean.  Sometimes it was a mess, and I would come home expecting something to do but I really didn’t.  They were very thorough.  They removed 2 huge palm trees from my mother’s property.   They do everything."

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse building service projects in Lexington, KY

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.
