"Dave Thacker is old school. He gives you a quote for your project and sticks to it. If he finds something he missed, he doesn't charge extra and fixes it. He gives fair quotes, works fast, and is really a pleasure to work with. While he was at my home my old fence blew down. I had him fix that too. Both the deck and the fence look professionally made, like the professionals that built them! I would definitely refer a friend or relative to PlanTrak!"

"Auland was great. He replaced a light, fan and mirror in our bathroom. A couple weeks later we had an emergency outside wall that needed a temporary patch job-(a woodpecker had broken through in several spots) Auland covered the holes for us. We will call Auland for any future jobs or repairs that come up."

"They were the first to respond to my request, set up an apointment for the same day and completed the work that day (in the rain). Others responded later saying they could give me an estimate later or had a much higher estimate than Rite Professional Services. I would definately use them again for any other gerneral contractor need."

"We had an outstanding experience with Sean and Bzr team. From the initial call with Gaby to the finished product. I highly and strongly recommend BZR. We first started with a bathroom addition and ended up with an ADU project which turned out great adding a kitchen and 3/4 bath. It did take time and many changes, I want to thank Sean for his patience. I would absolutely in a blink work with them again. I will upload photos when wife has finished furnishing."

FAQs for shed, barn or playhouse building service projects in Tacoma, WA

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.
