"Adam M completely assembled my new rocker recliner chair with massage feature in a most professional and efficient manner. Initially he even dismantled my defective chair and boxed it up for me to have it prepared for the pickup return to Walmart. I wholeheartedly recommend Adam M (and his Elite Enclosures LLC). I plan on calling upon Adam M in the next couple weeks for another project. "

"These guys were great!! Reasonable estimate followed by very high quality work. Prompt work and attention to detail could not have been better. Even did some repairs that we didn’t think could be done. And finished in less than a week. I highly appreciate all their work and recommend them. Could not be more pleased. Give them a call!"

"Only thing they did themselves was the patio ceiling & French drain for my project. Acted as hiring contractor for all the other work. Overall project was a success, but I didn't appreciate how the lead crewman/ owner spoke to his employee. Subcontractors that were hired were excellent."

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse building service projects in Salem, OR

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.
