"In all the times I have worked with people only have I recommend two of them to my family or friends, but now without a question I can add a third person to that list. John did an outstanding job and went well beyond the exceptations of what I excpeted. Without a doubt anytime we have a home improvement project of any kind John will be the first person we contact. I looked at his ratings before choosing him and all he recieved was five stars from his previous customers and it is easy to see why."

"We love our kitchen! Quality is excellent and the attention to detail is obvious. We were so grateful when Ralph connected us to a design team to help us with our dream kitchen. But his creative ideas and wonderful problem solving skills kept the project moving. The construction area was cleaned daily and the project was finished on time and on budget. We really enjoyed having him in our home. His can do attitude made us feel confident we chose the right contractor."

"The initial work went well but we have had several issues since then and he doesn't follow through or be responsive.  We have had to contact others regarding the repairs/issues that were seemingly the result of the new roof and skylight.  We have asked him to come out three times but he has only shown up once.  We paid the big bucks thinking we would get great service but have been more than disappointed with Weatherhead's accountability.

"This was the third job hired this company to do for me. This was the biggest and like the others before I was thrilled with the result. When you're waiting for a contractor they're being punctual is very important and they did not disappoint. They were very careful not to let any of my pets Escape during the window Exchange. They were meticulous about cleaning up after themselves and when I ask about measurements for new blinds I got a tutorial on how to measure and explain to the sales associate how I would need a specific type of arc at the top. I thought this was extremely helpful because I would not have even thought about how to measure this Arc. Very courteous and capable people. I would highly recommend them for any Home Improvement or remodeling job you have."

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