When I was searching for a shed for my backyard, I didn't want to settle for some dumb, unsightly wooden box thrown together haphazardly just to cram my crap into; I wanted something with a little more class... The kind of class you need to have if by chance you ever wanted that same shed to not only be a place to store your lawnmower and snow tires but to also double as a "tiny house" for my mother when she reaches her twilight years, to be able to be covered with gingerbread siding and giant jelly bean roof shingles for my amusement when said mother lives in the shed so to have fun scaring all the neighborhood children and to serve as a makeshift mausoleum when said mother dies. Sturdi-Built put together a pretty quality shed that could satisfy all of those ambitious shed desires.
The sheds are assembled off property - by the Amish, I was told - and take about 6-8 weeks for assembly and delivery. When my shed was delivered, the Sturdi-Built people even rotated it to position it in a way so that it would appear more appealing from the house. They were right, and I was glad for that input from them.
I was so excited the first day I received the shed. Even though it was REALLY windy, I had to go out and check the inside out. The wind immediately caught the man door and sent it flying into the little window and smashed it to pieces. I called Sturdi-Built to tell them of my error and they sent someone out to fix it. Apparently, their warranty even covers stupidity.
Speaking of the warranty, you get everything covered for 5 years. It had been about a year since I got my shed and the roof line popped up a bit from the settling process. Once again, I gave Sturdi-Built a call and they dispatched a serviceman to fix it up quick. Not only am I quite content of the fact that I have this warrant for 5 years, but the servicemen didn't ask a single question about the gingerbread siding, or the fact that I had a pot of green, glowing stew boiling ominously inside the shed (whew!).
The price of a Sturdi-Built Shed might seem a little high for your liking, but if you go to their sale stand at the Erie County Fair they give great "fair prices". Besides, a "tiny house" might cost you $70,000 or more, so put that in perspective when you want your mother to live in your shed. read more
