"Kevin Clark and his company did an outstanding job on designing and building a beautiful storage building for us. He responded to our email quickly, met with us to see what our expectations were as far as what we wanted the structure to look like and what we intended the building to be used for. He made cost saving suggestions and in a day or so we received a professional appearing proposal. He was very involved throughout the building process. His crew was professional and hard working, showed up on time and the end result is outstanding. We would use Blue Ridge Carpentry again with no hesitation.

"Steve Smith from Smithstonian was excellent! The retaining wall is beautiful, and my neighbors cannot stop commenting on its professional design and layout! He and his team are world class and I have, and will, recommend them to anyone looking for professional stone work of any type. It has been a true pleasure and the results are amazing!"

"It might corny but it is true - when you deal with Smithstonian, you are treated like family. Steve and Derick helped us turn an old garage/boathouse into a unique, cozy, rustic cottage (see photo above!). Although this company specializes in, and are total artists in stone masonry, our project was a major renovation that required all construction skills; carpentry, electrical, plumbing, framing, HVAC work, concrete, roofing, sheet metal work, and demolition. Smithstonian can bring all professional skills to bear and offer a turnkey project that didn't require me to increase my budget and hire multiple subcontractors. If any questions or issues arose, Smithstonian went above and beyond to ensure they were addressed immediately, even coming to our house after hours to meet with us face-to-face. Not only are we extremely pleased with the final results of all the work done, but we are also excited to have found a reputable, respectful, and trustworthy company to partner with in the future. Steve quickly becomes more than a construction partner, he becomes a trusted friend that has your best interest at heart."

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse building service projects in Shepherdstown, WV

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.
