100% happy with the final result! I needed an art studio, and natural light was my biggest priority. Shedmania delivered on that completely. I had a 12' x 16' studio built with a lean-to roof and skylights, which make the space feel much larger, and allow me to work without relying on artificial light. The structure transformed an overgrown, unused part of the backyard into something that now feels like an extension of the home, and seamlessly integrates with the garden. The permitting process with the city took some time, but the end result was absolutely worth it. The first day I worked in it, I finally had windows to look out of, and the skylights filled the space with natural daylight. Now I notice things I couldn't before, like squirrels in the tree, butterflies passing through. read more

We've had our shed for over a year now and we're kicking ourselves because we waited so long. We decided to build this as a his/hers office (instead of an home addition) with additional storage in the loft that could also double as accommodation for out of town guests. Its been fantastic and we couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out. read more

John and Song and their crew did an amazing job with our project of renovating an existing structure and building a standalone shed in our yard. Every part of the process was very smooth, they were clear and transparent in their communication and pricing, and we are so happy with the end results. I highly recommend Shed Mania! read more

From the first interaction through the final installation, John and Song worked with us to create something beautiful. Even when the city had issues with our permit (totally their fault), they supported me through the entire process. We love having the extra space and couldn't be happier with the service! read more

I hired Shed Mania to repair and redesign my external one car garage to turn it into an office and storage space. I had a general idea of what I wanted to do, given the space and structure available to be, but John and Song were able to make that real. Given their schedule, it took us a month or so to get started, but that fit well within my summer timeframe. Their work ethic, work quality, and finishing skills were awesome. I've had a fair bit of work done on my house and working with a contractor and crew that communicates consistently, arrives when they say they will, and deliver on schedule are unusual. As part of planning, there were also opportunities to spec upgrades like wood flooring and dimmers, and have a skylight installed. This resulted in a really special space that provides a lot of value to my home. All of this at a reasonable value. I'd highly recommend Shed Mania. read more

I contacted Shed Mania because we have two kids, a large enough backyard and needed an extra office to retain our sanity while raising young screaming children. John contacted me after I sent a note through Yelp and he and Song, the design engineer, prepared a quote which included everything we wanted. Once they visited our backyard, Song noticed that a deck would be a great addition. We agreed. The design was sent over to us for our approval on time and with the entire scope of the project laid out. Once the work commenced all of their team acted with courtesy and professionalism. They came when they said they would and cleaned up very well at the end. I couldn't be happier with their team and how they operated. As for the shed, we LOVE IT! We took PG&E out of the equation and made it 100% solar/battery operated WITH heating and AC. Battery technology has made this type of shed/office the new standard IMO. Love it. Screw PG&E! read more

The Shed Mania team was great to work with. They took a stalled shed project of mine and transformed it into a polished, well-executed structure in a few short days. From our initial design conversations to cleaning up after the project, these guys were professional and world class. Highly recommend working with them for sheds of any size. read more

We had a fantastic experience with Shed Mania. I was looking for an office shed to put into our backyard in WC. John, Song, and Son were all super helpful throughout the process. They constantly provided updates from the permit process to each stage of the build. The workers were also very respectful of the space. I believe we got a 120 sq ft shed, with direct electrical and WiFi. I take meetings and play video games in this space super easily, and it feels so spacious. We also just had our first big rain out here and there have been no issues. I highly recommend Shed Mania! read more

Shed Mania did a great job. The issue with this job was creating a shed on a down slope. They designed and built the shed with concrete piers to support the shed. Having some knowledge in constrution, I can say that the construction was top notch. Very straight walls and great job installing windows and doors. Shed Mania workers run an extremely clean job site. Their care and professionalism was top notch all the all. I am extremely pleased with my shed and with their work, and highly recommend them. read more

In a day and age where quality new construction is hard to find, there is still Shed Mania. They built my office shed in my backyard. John and Song were very helpful to walk me through the process and address my needs. Their pricing is very reasonable. At one point after their team poured the foundation, it was clear that it was not lined up with the house. They took it upon themselves to fix the slab so that it is aligned. They care a lot about their workmanship. I went with their standard paint design, the white with black trim, and it is very cute. Inside, the shed is spacious and I can tell the work and materials are of high quality. It's been great working in here so far. I appreciate there are still contractors like Shed Mania out there that are dedicated to quality work. read more

We came across Shed Mania online as we needed more space after moving into a new home. Pamela and John were very helpful when we reached out and guided us through the initial ideas and size/location of the shed in order for it to comply with city guidelines, we decided on an 8x12ft gable roof shed. Song then created the 3d drawings of the new space and was very knowledgeable in all the construction aspects when we had questions. Walter and his crew worked extremely hard, any complications along the way were dealt with quickly and to a high standard. We are very happy with this new build and the overall process from design to completion. read more

I could write a whole page praising ShedMania for being leaps ahead of any contractors I've ever worked with, but I'll keep it brief. When searching for a shed builder for a small office for my wife, I contacted several companies, including WellMade in the Bay Area. It became clear quickly how flawed their sales process and customization options were. That all changed when I spoke with John at ShedMania. Given the limited space on my property and strict permit requirements, John and Insong collaborated closely with us to ensure all permits were approved. I can't thank them enough for their dedication and expertise. The shed they delivered not only met but exceeded all our expectations. The team was consistently punctual and showed a remarkable attention to detail. Thank you, ShedMania, for delivering our dream shed. read more

Shed Mania - We love our shed - General Contractors Near Me - Hayward, California

I cannot say enough nice things about John and the Shed Mania team. They have this process down to a tee and it took something that's usually quite stressful (construction) and made it entirely carefree. The build process was incredibly smooth with no hiccups and everyone on the team was kind, communicative, and worked with great care. I'm so happy with the final product. The quality is extremely high and both interior/exterior are super visually appealing. I looked at several different pre-fab and full construction options and found Shed Mania to have by far the best value proposition. Would highly recommend Shed Mania to anyone looking for a little extra space. read more

Shed Mania did a 18 x 12 shed for us in our backyard. The final product is amazing - great design, workmanship and quality. The crew and project manager were very wonderful to deal with. Incredibly kind and clean. They did very good work. There were a few small hiccups along the way, as there always is with construction, but we worked everything out and are very happy with the finished product. Shed Mania handled everything from getting architectural drawings and engineering and handled the permit process with San Jose. I highly recommend them. read more

Money well spent- the quality of the shed is fantastic. John and Song made the process very simple. While I had the shed built when I was working two days a week at home, that has been reduced to one day. But I still love the shed, use it everyday, and I'm so much more productive in it than my couch or my regular office. Also, if you're getting one as an office, get the heater/air conditioner. Overall, it's the best investment I have made in my home read more

Everything you're reading in the other reviews is true! John, Song, and Team are absolutely amazing at what they do- great communication throughout, transparent pricing, quality craftsmanship, and FAST. Like, once my project started, the onsite Team was here working all-day, every day, except weekends. Start to finish it only took them about 3 weeks! I did quite a bit of shopping around and Shed Mania was definitely the best value for the price. I loved how customizable everything was (ex: external dimensions, type of foundation, placement of the windows/outlets, roof material, interior/exterior paint, flooring, etc.) - we were able to design it to fit our needs exactly, which for us was space for an office desk (including fast internet, obviously!), space for stretching, and a wall for storage racks since we don't have a garage. The whole experience felt too good to be true so I kept waiting for something to go wrong... but it never did. I have literally nothing bad to say about them. I would hire them again in a heart beat! read more

We decided to work with Shed Mania after reviewing their impressive portfolio--and it turned out to be the best decision we could've made. Our project was well-managed and completed on schedule. The shed was built with expert craftsmanship: solid framing, proper insulation, and seamless flooring, to highlight just a few features. Most of all, the completed shed looks fantastic! The Shed Mania team was professional, accommodating, and highly responsive throughout the process. They have our highest regard, and we wholeheartedly recommend them. read more

Finally got around to write this review. Best decision we made was to go with Shed Mania. The process with John, Song, and Son was seamless, easy, and just an all around fantastic experience. The team accommodated changes we had and worked around our schedule. On top of all of that, we LOVE our sheds. Highly recommend! read more

I worked with Shed Mania to build a backyard office on a pretty tight timeframe (instead of opting for a more costly and time-consuming home addition) and am very pleased with the results. They were willing to work with me to customize the building - e.g., I wanted a custom window, custom French doors, a specific type of recessed lighting, and real hardwood floors, all of which I ordered myself through a distributor - while still bringing to bear the efficiency and expertise that they've honed from building hundreds of their more standard offerings. The communication with the team was quite good - they are responsive via text, drop by the project often, and genuinely seek to solve problems (whether related to the building itself or regarding staffing on the project). Overall, I would highly recommend Shed Mania for anyone looking for a backyard office or retreat - the finished product is great, the price is very fair, there is oppenness to more extensive customization, the team is collaborative and kind, and the speed of moving from initial meeting to a finished product is unparalleled. read more

Worked with Shedmania to build an office shed. They were on time, on budget and excellent communicators. The workmanship was also very good. If you're looking for a well made office shed at a good price I would recommend them. If you're looking for something a bit more design forward - might look elsewhere as their sheds reflect a more traditional / standard design which you can find on their website. read more

John, Song and their team are awesome! Our family was in need of another room when we had our second child as I had lost my work from home office. The Shedmania detached 120 sqft shed was the perfect solution. Now I have a very nice get away where I can be productive in the backyard. When comparing adding an additional room to a house vs a shedmania shed, shedmania is not only a better cost savings solution but a better all around solution if you need a quiet space to work. We originally were planning on having this work done in April but Shedmania was able to fit us into their tight schedule in December. The team operated so quickly it was pretty incredible to watch. The foundation was poured on 12/7 and I was able to move my office into it on 12/23. I've included some progress photos for the first week or so of the construction and the completed product. The shed has the following features: -On concrete slab foundation -Well insulated (I will go in the morning and temp will be at ~46 degrees F and after turning the mini split on to 70 it gets there in under 30 mins and has no problem staying there) -Electrical ran from the house panel -Ethernet hard line ran from the modem in house -8x3 deck -Laminate floors -French doors -Two 5x3 side windows -Composite roof After all the recent rain I'm happy to report no leaking. It is a south facing structure so I am exposed to the sun through the french doors but I installed some black out shades to use for sunny days and the problem's solved. I couldn't be happier with the end product as a solution for what we needed. Thank you again to John, Song and their dedicated team who did such great work! read more

The Shedmania team was stellar in bringing my home office shed concept from paper to life, and I highly recommend them! John and Song were very responsive throughout the process in ensuring the design and build fit as closely to what I had imagined. I was glad they were very responsible and communicative, focusing on delivering the best quality home office shed and addressing any of my concerns throughout the project. The team responsible for the construction has great workmanship and attention to detail as well. All this at a competitive price point for an end-to-end service! read more

We are very happy with our new shed! The project started and ended right on time, and the team was very communicative before starting and during the work.

It was an amazing experience working with Shed Mania! We had this old shed sitting in our backyard, and we wanted to update it. John, Song, and the team came in and gave me a very accurate estimation of what has to be done and recommendations. They gave me a quote and believe it or not it did not go even a dime more :) which is very rare in construction biz and remodeling nowadays. The work was done very fast, as promised and their team was efficient. The quality of work was incredible, the finish of the wall, roof, foundation, electricity and everything was done properly. Thank you so much for working on the shed - i am very happy with the result!! read more

John, Song and crew are probably the best contractors I have worked with. Responsive, patient, and flexible - but most importantly true to their word. I did a lot of digging in the world of office sheds - and these guys were the only ones that handled everything end to end. The quality of their work is also top notch. Project came in on time and on budget. What else could you ask for? Highly recommend Shed Mania for anyone looking to build office sheds / ADU! read more

The Shedmania team was a pleasure to work with, from the initial conversations and estimates with John, to discussions with Song during construction.

The only hitch was a small broken drainage pipe, which they immediately fixed for us, no questions asked. Overall, excellent experience and I'm very happy with the final product. read more

We worked with John at ShedMania and I could not be more pleased. After having worked with 25+ different contractors over the past year as we remodeled our new house, I can confidently say that John is one of the best. He is very easy to communicate with, honest, transparent, and goes above and beyond when it comes to customer satisfaction. If you are looking to build a shed office, you should definitely contact the team at Shedmania. read more

I cannot say enough great things about Shed Mania and I feel lucky that I worked with John and Song. Below are a few key things that come on top of my mind. - Super on schedule and on budget. Based on my experience, these are the most important but rare attributes of contractors. John is a great communicator and he made sure I was always on top of the project timeline and budget. - Song is a great craftsman and very experienced. He put together the 3D rendering working closely with me. I wanted something that's different from their standard offering. He helped me source the materials while make sure it's not over my budget. - During the project, Song proactively helped me think about all the details. I wanted a minimalist design to match the style of our main house. When I asked him how we were going to handle details such as trim and gutter, he had always thought about them beforehand and offered the best solution. Bottom line - I highly recommended Shed Mania if you are thinking about building a shed or ADU. read more

We hired Shed Mania earlier this year to build an office shed in our backyard.

Copied from my Google review: I researched high and wide before settling on Shed Mania and am super glad I did. A lot of the other providers were inflexible with what they build so it wouldn't match our main house, or couldn't accommodate a hill, and were also often more expensive. John and Song know what they are doing and are extremely service-oriented. Their crew is really competent and detail oriented. Unlike other providers, Shed Mania builds everything from scratch so you can essentially customize everything, from the dimensions to the windows / doors, to any add-ons such as solar + battery, deck, steps, all of which we ended up choosing, and all of which were very well built and fairly priced. I had a friend who went with a general contractor who was not specialized in sheds and his first winter resulted in lots of leaks from the rain. Do yourself a favor and hire John & Song who have so much experience and can accommodate almost anything you ask for. You'll get a product that is not only quality and delivered on time but a pleasant experience through it all. read more

If I could give 6 stars, I would! John and Song are amazing. They are experts in stretching the allowable "non-habitable" structure requirements. These structures might be categorized as "sheds" per city codes, but they're really just small houses (minus the plumbing). John handles the business communication side, and he's very responsive and communicative. He was able to walk us through the details of the shed and pricing over the phone. After we put down the initial deposit, we only had to wait for about one month before John was able to assign us a team to start building. The entire building process took only 3 weeks (no permit means no waiting for city inspectors!) We now have a beautiful home office, complete with dry walls, insulation, recessed lighting, flooring, solar power system, and AC/heater! We could spend all day in here, if only we didn't need to use the bathroom. If you're like us, you want to build something in the backyard and have no idea how or where to begin, I highly recommend Shed Mania. They'll get the job done quickly and properly, for a very reasonable price. read more

Five star experience from start to finish. I have to admit, when I was looking at various companies to bring my backyard shed dream to life, I saw all the stellar reviews and was skeptical. I wondered if the reviews were legit. Having been through the process with John, Song and their team, I can assure you that the reviews ARE legit. The process, professionalism, and results are exceptional. Before I found ShedMania, I considered working with a different company but was bothered by what felt like a lack of transparency on pricing (and the overall cost just kept going up up up). I'm so glad I decided to look a bit further. After my first call with John and reviewing his follow up emails, it was clear that these guys knew what they were doing. I went with a simple design, so that part of the process was pretty straightforward, but still it is worth mentioning that Song helped me visualize a different options with renderings until we got it just right. I had to wait a few months, but once the work began, my shed was complete and ready to use within a few weeks! They began site prep very beginning of November and I was able to begin working in the shed around Thanksgiving. The building crew was super friendly, professional, and respectful. The finished shed is so beautiful, well constructed, and bright (even without electric!). No hidden costs - my payments were outlined in advance and I paid exactly what John had quoted. After working in my shed for a few months, I noticed some dampness and condensation on the floor. I didn't suspect any mold, but worried that if I couldn't keep the space dry that might become an issue. I reached out to John and was contacted by him and Song within an hour! Song came by the very next day to thoroughly check out the shed and make sure everything is ok. Once again, super impressed by the whole team and how this business is run. John and Song take great pride in their work and stand behind every shed they create. read more

John, Song and team are one of the most professional folks we've worked with. Right from the beginning they helped us meticulously in planning and optimizing the design for what we were looking for.

If you are looking for a finished backyard studio shed, look no further! read more

John and his team did a wonderful job with building our shed and pergola. They are super communicative and easy to reach if you have questions or concerns. If you have concerns, John will address them right away. The building process was explained to us every step of the way. We had a weirdly shaped concrete slab and they still were able to make it work. They were able to finish the shed and pergola in about 10 working days without cutting any corners. Our shed turned out super clean and just what we wanted. We're very happy with their work and we love our new backyard oasis. I highly recommend John and his team if you are looking to build a backyard space. read more
