Outdoor Home Center has been in business for over 15 years in Manassas and the Northern Virginia area. Storage sheds and gazebos are our specialty. We do free at home site visits bringing brochures, paint samples, vinyl siding samples, and roof shingle samples. If you want to visit us at our shop we have almost an acre of outdoor displays. No appointment is needed. Outdoor Home Center is open 7 days a week too. We are a small company with two owners.

"If I could give this company a 6 out of 5 stars I would! They did a fantastic job overhauling my mother's deck, back patio, fencing, and front portico. All of the work was absolutely essential for safety and structural reasons, and I'm so glad I chose OSSA to do the work. My mother has Alzheimer's, which presented additional issues, but the entire crew was incredibly kind, respectful, and understanding of the unique challenges they faced. They were responsive and kept me aware of everything regarding the job along the way. My mother is so pleased, and I have the peace of mind that all of her outdoor space is safe, beautiful, and accessible. I will be hiring OSSA to do some work in my own home, as I look to make necessary improvements in the future. I've told everyone I know how how wonderful they are. 6 out of 5 stars!"

We are a local company focused on giving our costumers the best quality work with the best prices out in the market and exceptional craftsmanship. Wr focus on Decks,Screened-Porches and gazebos. Why screened porches you might ask? Because it is an area where you can enjoy the beautiful view of your backyard. It's an opportunity to enjoy the nature and the beautiful weather in Virginia. The background story of the company: Isaac Camacho who is the founder of the company, who has been working on the field for over 25+ years. We make sure our customers are happy and comfortable throughout the process and all of their concerns or questions will be answered right away.

"DO NOT use this company. I went through Lowes to have a composite deck built. Working with them was an absolute nightmare. It took them 3 months to even START the job. I discovered the reason for the delay is because when they filed the permit (which took them 6 weeks to do), the contractor's license was expired. It then took them another 5 weeks to update their license in order to get the permit. They ordered and installed a completely differently railing style than what was on the contract/design, then blamed me for the mistake. Rather than ordering a new product, they cut the existing one to make it work. I am now 9 months post project, and the railing has warped, the deck is sloped, and the overall quality is horrible. Worst of all, turns out they NEVER GOT IT INSPECTED! I learned that Lowes had to fire them due to MULTIPLE issues with the company. I am thankful I have Lowes to help rectify the issues, but if i didn't, I would be pursuing legal action against them!"

"We have been planning to upgrade our deck from lumber to composite TREX for quite some time and FA Outdoor Spaces was the only company that offers three options for decking- refloor, facelift and new deck. Brandon Campbell and Brandon Wheatley who assisted him, understood what we were looking for an provided a proposal to upgrade the flooring, railing caps and steps by replacing the wooden boards with TREX , reinforce the foundation of the deck and steps, and re-finish the existing railings to retain the original aesthetic of the deck with a modern flooring.

Ricardo was frequently on site and available to answer questions in person, by phone or text. We interviewed 4 different builders in our area before ultimately choosing DBI for several reasons: First, DBI was able to provide the TimberTech composite boards and railings we preferred; second, they offered the most reasonable pricing for our project; and third, we were impressed with their level of expertise and decades of experience.

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

When building a shed, you should hire a general contractor or a local shed-building specialist. The ideal professional will have experience constructing the type of shed you want and can provide a detailed estimate and timeline. Ensure they have proper licensing and insurance and can handle additional services like land clearing and material hauling.

The type of shed you need depends on your budget, intended use, and property specifics. If you want an affordable and quick solution, prefabricated sheds are cost-effective but offer limited customization. Custom-built sheds allow you to tailor features like wall height, square footage, workspace, and window placement to your exact needs. Consider materials, durability, and local zoning regulations when choosing between prefab and custom sheds to ensure the shed meets your requirements.

The average cost to build a barn varies widely based on size, style, and intended use. American barn-style sheds typically cost between $3,000 and $7,000, providing a rustic storage solution. Larger, commercial-style barns range from $25,000 to $80,000 and are suitable for housing livestock or large equipment. Depending on the barn's style, you can expect to pay $15 to $50 per square foot. Additional factors like materials, labor, and custom features like stalls or storage lofts will also influence the total cost.

Building a shed can take anywhere from a few hours to several days, depending on the type and complexity of the project. Prefabricated sheds can be assembled in 4 to 8 hours, providing a quick storage solution. On the other hand, custom-built sheds may take 2 to 5 days to construct on-site. Size, design features, and weather conditions can also affect the timeline.

Building a shed can enhance your property's functionality but may not significantly increase its market value. While a well-built shed provides extra storage or workspace that can appeal to potential buyers, it typically does not add to the home's appraised value. However, in areas with limited storage space, a high-quality shed might make your property more attractive on the market, potentially influencing buyer interest positively.
