"I live outside of the Richmond area and wanted to do something for my sister’s birthday. Her front stoop was in disrepair and of the 4 contractors I contacted, Reggie was the only one to respond. His estimate was reasonable, he removed the old stoop and hauled away the debris. The new porch turned out way better than expected; he stained and beveled the posts, which added a nice touch (total craftsmanship). I highly recommend Craftsman Homes RVA LLC if you want your job done correctly! "

"S and S Specialty installed a new door and threshold in our porch and had to modify the door framing to fit. They worked so hard in the scorching heat! Yogi was very pleasant and knowledgeable and explained the work that they were doing in detail to us. They even came back the next day to make sure the handle was working properly. We found them to be very professional and reliable and they did quality work. I already asked them to do another project for us!"

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse building service projects in Richmond, VA

The ideal depth for a root cellar depends on your local frost line and climate conditions. The goal is to achieve a consistent temperature between 32°F and 60°F year-round. In warmer southern regions, you may need deeper excavation or supplemental cooling systems, while northern areas focus more on preventing freezing. 

Understanding your soil composition and water table is essential for determining appropriate depth and drainage needs to maintain a stable environment for your stored produce.

Most municipalities require permits for root cellar construction, particularly for projects involving excavation or structural modifications. Permit costs range from $1,200 to $2,000, depending on your location. 

The application process often requires submitting detailed plans showing drainage solutions and structural elements. Checking local regulations early in your planning process helps avoid potential fines or construction delays, especially for projects near property lines or those requiring utility connections.

Professional root cellar construction spans several weeks, with timelines varying based on design complexity and weather conditions. The process includes initial excavation, foundation work, structural construction, ventilation installation, and finishing touches. Permit processing and inspections add to the timeline. 

Working with experienced professionals results in more efficient completion compared to DIY approaches, though seasonal factors and contractor availability can affect scheduling.

Concrete represents the most common material choice for permanent root cellars due to its durability and moisture resistance. For above-ground structures, properly sealed pressure-treated lumber offers good performance at lower cost. 

Effective insulation is crucial regardless of construction type, with different materials suited to various climate conditions. Quality doors with proper seals help maintain consistent internal conditions, while corrosion-resistant hardware ensures longevity in humid environments.

Most produce stores work best at humidity levels between 80% and 90%. A hygrometer (costing approximately $25) helps monitor conditions accurately. For low humidity, placing containers of water or damp materials in the cellar can increase moisture levels. 

When humidity rises too high, improving air circulation through adjustable vents helps reduce excess moisture. Different crops may require varying humidity levels, so organizing your storage accordingly helps optimize preservation. Regular maintenance prevents condensation buildup and potential mold issues.
