"I hired this company to build an outdoor staircase with a wood handrail. I was told they have a three-week turnover time. Untrue. The person who bid the job also told me he would be the person doing the actual work. Also untrue. They farmed the project out to a subcontractor who. as I later found out, they had problems with in the past. The subcontractors were here a total of 3 hours a day, when they showed up at all. They built a set of crooked, uneven steps that did not start/stop where I requested. The handrail was set about 15" from the edge of the steps. It wobbled and was bowed in the middle. Eventually, Handyman connection sent a contractor down to fix the problems, but that was only after things got really ugly and an employee (Sarah) threatened to stop all construction at the site and leave me with a pile of materials in my yard, a gigantic mess, and no one to finish the project. Plus, I would have to pay the subcontractors, she said. I will NEVER hire Handyman Co again."

"From the initial estimate and quote to the actual execution of the work, Pedro and his team did a fantastic job. They were diligent, consistently on time, accommodating of our requests, and completed the basement finishing—approximately 700 sq ft—in just three weeks. We couldn’t believe the pace of their work. The quality was excellent. Keep up the great work, Pedro!"

"They did a great job. They were very professional and prompt getting back to me about any questions I had. Even though all the rain we had this spring extended the project they took their time to make sure everything was done right. I get compliments all the time on the great job."

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