Our little house in Pacifica.
Christie R.

Hector and his team, initially run by David, were fantastic. During the initial discussion, Hector proved to have an excellent grasp of architecture, construction, and the costs associated with the various aspects of building an AUD. He was knowledgeable about local permits and the importance of informing our neighbors and the HOA about our plans. Everything ran very smoothly! And as Hector anticipated, the work took almost exactly 1 month to complete. Hector communicated with me regularly by email or text about work plans. There was only one 2 day delay (windows took a couple days longer to come in than expected). From what others have shared, that is minor in the scheme it things. Hector was great at asking about details over time, so he didn't overwhelm us. He confirmed as he systematically planned and ordered items - like paint colors and boarders, type of door, type of windows, outlet locations, wiring (we brought in an outside electrician for the house to house work), etc. What a change this finished little house has made in our lives! Our kids have more space, my husband is no longer working in a kids room, and we all have another spot to chill out when needed. I'm so in love with our little house. I highly recommend going with Best Shed Ever because you will end up with THE BEST SHED EVER!

We love our new shed built by the Best Shed Ever team. Arles and his crew were awesome to work with! The project took just under a month to complete and we are so happy with how it turned out, as we use the shed as an office space every day. The quality of craftsmanship, the crew's attention to detail, and the level of communication were excellent. There were no change orders or surprises and Arles was proactive in reaching out to keep us updated on scheduling and timing. Couldn't recommend them more highly!

The Best Shed Ever team was a pleasure to work with. Arles came by our house and put together a 12'x6' shed design that fit perfectly into a limited space area in our backyard. We worked out a fair price for the shed and the construction started about 2 weeks later. It only took the 2 carpenters a day and a half to build and paint the shed. The paint was a perfect match to our house. They workers were prompt, friendly and did meticulous work. I highly recommend Best Shed Ever to others.

Original Chief Architect drawing

I shopped for a shed company for about a year until I found Best Shed's website and went browsing through their ample gallery (go to their website to see the whole thing - there are hundreds of sheds to look at). There was a shed that stood out - entirely clad in real stone, and sporting wood beams. It had a VERY rustic look. I knew I had finally found my builder! I designed the look of the shed in Chief Architect software (not strictly necessary, but I've done eight renovations and now it's how I do things), and hired Hector and his team to figure out how to build it. Picture of the rendered concept-shed attached. Hector was VERY patient and indulged my weird passion for building a very small half-timber tavern (I'm in San Francisco and we're limited to 100 sqft). Truth be told, I'm not the hardest customer to deal with, I'm pretty easy going - but I did want A LOT of stuff. And he never gave up or tried to talk me out of all the bits I wanted. For that I'm grateful. :) My little shed/cabin/tavern includes custom stained glass windows (stainedglasswindows.com) the art for which was created from ai, reclaimed barnwood for the half-timber look, stucco for the plaster, chandelier and torch lighting from Romania and Ukraine, blacksmith made hardware from Indiana, and a barn door from Rustica.com. And the shed is a proper building. It is insulated, has full electricity, is fully finished inside and has glued in hardwood floors. It's like a real house (no plumbing, but that's more San Francisco Planning Dept's fault than Best Shed's). I will be honest... it took a while. But that's nothing new for coordinating a variety of trades coupled with trying to build something complicated outdoors over the rainy months. And of this writing it's 94% complete, only missing it's stone footing but I have every confidence that will be coming soon. And what you're asking - price. You aren't going to build what I did (because why would you? You will have your own dream) but I deal with contractors all the time and I thought Best Shed Ever's prices were lower than average for similar work. Simply put - if you have a simple shed or something heavy concept like mine, I wouldn't hesitate a moment to give Best Shed Ever a call.

Finished product. High ceiling shed with custom paint job.

After extensive research, we ultimately decided on Shed Mania to build our office shed because of…read moretheir dedication to quality, communication, and customer service. We had a number of questions before making a final decision, and John promptly answered all of them and walked us through the entire process. It was easy to customize the proposal and get a quote for the final project. We worked with Insang to design our shed office and loved how simple it was. The 3D design allowed us to visualize every aspect of the space, including small details like outlet locations and light switch locations. At the end of the process, we were confident we knew exactly what our office shed would look like. When it came time to build the shed, the crew was on time, organized, and fast. They were open to small adjustments that needed to be made throughout the process to ensure that we were satisfied with the final product When the space was complete, Insang and John made sure that we were 100% satisfied before the final payment. I highly recommend Shed Mania! They are by far one of the best builders that I have ever worked with. I can guarantee you will not be disappointed in your decision. We love our new office shed and are so happy we went with Shed Mania!

We had an incredible experience working with Shed Mania from start to finish. We came into the…read moreproject with a pretty specific vision for turning an old backyard structure into a finished office and storage space, and the final product genuinely exceeded what we had imagined. What stood out most was the level of communication and attention to detail throughout the entire process. John, Song, and the team were incredibly responsive, moved quickly, and kept us informed at every stage. They took the time to understand not just what we wanted the space to look like, but how we planned to use it, and that thoughtfulness showed up in so many of the design and construction details. They were also extremely accommodating as the project evolved. Whenever we had a question, wanted to adjust something, or noticed a small detail we wanted refined, they were receptive and worked with us to get it right. There was never a sense that they were simply trying to finish the job and move on--they clearly cared about the quality of the finished space and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with it. The craftsmanship is excellent, the process was remarkably smooth, and everything came together faster than we expected for a project of this size. What started as a dilapidated backyard structure is now a beautiful, thoughtfully designed office that feels like a true extension of our home. We couldn't be happier with the experience or the finished result. If you're considering a backyard studio, office, shed, or similar project, I would recommend Shed Mania without hesitation. They took our ideas seriously, sweated the details, and ultimately brought our vision to life better than we could have hoped.

Shed and his crew are simply the best. If you want a friendly, helpful experience with a highly communicative business owner, reliable installation, and a top-notch quality shed, these are your guys. The entire process was smooth from start to finish, and the craftsmanship was excellent. There were many customizations and they accommodated all of my wants and needs for a very reasonable price. I have worked with Tuff Shed in the past and these sheds are better built, less expensive, and hands down a better customer service experience. Highly, highly recommend!

The shed selection on site made it easy to pick our options, but we did ask about some extra add ons not on display that really made a huge difference in the look of our sheds. Based on some other shed photos we saw online, we upgraded the doors to the window door and on the shed that we finished, we added 3 small windows on the top long wall and it added so much light, and doesn't prevent tall shelving from being used. If you are getting a shed for a working space, I highly recommend adding those top small windows. We worked with Richard to order everything and he was super chill and no pressure. All the upgrades were things we brought up, and he clearly explained what would/wouldn't work. I felt the upgrades were very reasonably priced. Each shed took one day to build and the friendly crew came out on time each day. It took about 3 weeks to get on their schedule, which was enough time for us to get the space ready for the build.
