". Excellent service. Very friendly and not at all pushy  while shopping. Sheds are built to order with many options available. Mine was ready for delivery a week early. Punctual and accurate delivery time. After the winter it still looks like new. A friend that is a contractor was impressed with the quality and stated he could not build it for the price I paid. My next purchase will be a woodshed from them.

"Ross is a true professional contractor who cares about customer service. He shows up on time, uses email to communicate and send calendar invitations, and above all, is a perfectionist regarding the quality of his work. My job involved applying a polyaspartic coating over an existing fiberglass deck. The key to a good finish is thorough surface preparation. Ross and his helper donned respirators and spent an entire day abrading the deck surface and patching surface cracks. Afterward, they worked in freezing temperatures to apply the base coat, pvc chips and top coat with slip resistant particles. BTW, polyaspartic coatings can be applied down to -30 degrees, look great and are superior to epoxy. For fiberglass deck owners reading this review....go with the polyaspartic coating when it's time to resurface.....you will be happy you did! Upon completion of the job, Ross cleaned up the work area and my garage which was used over a 3 day period. After showing off his work, Ross kindly presented me with the final bill and warranty and left leaving my wife and I with a beautiful new deck to entertain and enjoy for many summers to come! I highly recommend Ross Lindy for anyone needing a fiberglass deck or garage coating.....you will not be disappointed!"

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse building service projects in Philadelphia, PA

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.
