"Patrick with Farmhouse Construction did excellent work rebuilding my deck. This deck is off a 2d floor bedroom and has steps in between 2 levels. His measurements were precise and the wood (I believe fir and cedar is beautiful). He proactively explained his process, how he worked, any anomalies or unusual things he encountered and always answered my questions. He communicates very well. His work is outstanding and I would hire him again. I chose to stain the deck myself. Patrick spent a lot of time explaining the process of staining, the nuances of different staining products and applicators he recommended. He is great and cleaned up the old discarded wood and debris very nicely."

"It went great. Andy was able to start quickly and fit us in. He installed drywall, soffit and flooring as well as doing some Painting for us. Would recommend him to anyone and hire him again if we have any future home remodel or handyman services."

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse building service projects in Olympia, WA

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.
