"Tony did a great job building my outdoor shower. We had to work closely with my HOA and Tony was very helpful with this process. The shower work was done on time and within my budget. I will be happy to use Last Looks in the future."

"We had a front and side porch replaced. The entire team worked together effortlessly. They were reliable, competent and preformed high quality workmanship. The work was completed in the time frame given and on budget. Most importantly were the open communications throughout the job. This was huge for me since I was unable to be present for most of the project. Thank you for all your hard work and professionalism. I highly recommend Accessible Home Builders. They were awesome!"

"Brent and his crew are extremely professional in every aspect! Communication was very consistent and thorough. Efficiently got the job done but very precise and took the time to ask questions to confirm aesthetically this is what we were looking for. Their workmanship was top notch. Also a product arrived damaged from the manufacturer and Brent took care of it and exchanged it immediately. Very clean with debris and conscientious about noise and parking in our neighborhood. Will absolutely hire them again. "

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse building service projects in Ocean View, DE

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.
