We have a Timber King portable saw mill  - we custom-cut our own lumber

We can use our lumber - or yours. Because we have our own portable saw mill, we can supply all the wood for your shed, or we can use wood from your trees. We typically use white pine, but can accommodate you depending on the trees you have. Call us for complete details.

We have many years of experience and we use only the finest materials & methods. Most often, we manufacture most of lumber for all of our projects and for those items which must be purchased, we use local suppliers and top quality items.

There are no nails in the frames of our sheds - we use FastenMaster and DeckMate screws

We build our shed & mini-barn foundations two ways: Poured cement slab or pressured treated beams. Each method has specific cost/durability advantages. Call for details.

We build our sheds in our shop from our custom plans - to your exact specifications. When we build a shed or mini-barn for you, we cut & test-fit all of the pieces in our shop in advance. When we arrive at your location, your shed is 100% ready to be assembled on-site.

Most typically, we build all our windows from scratch. The windows you see in these photos were built by us to match the exact size specifications of this shed.

We build our mini-barns with a 45°, 12 pitch roof and our sheds with a 18.5°, 4 pitch roof.

Some of the high quality attention-to-detail features we include are: ridge vents (under the shingles), traditional beam construction styling, extra-wide sliding doors, passage doors, shiplap joints, tongue & groove joints, authentic barn-board styling, pressure treated sills, joint braces and more. Also, anything we build can be wired for electricity - call us for details.

Because we have our own portable band-saw sawmill, we can create your outbuilding with lumber which we mill from trees harvested on your property. Not all customers do this, but whether we use your lumber or whether we supply the lumber, each time that we use locally harvested trees, we help you protect the environment. The ability to harvest & mill lumber locally makes us substantially unique among local builders and gives our customers the advantage of protecting the environment while at the same time getting top quality construction using 1st quality, hand-selected lumber.
