We are very pleased with our decision to hire The Volusia County Shed Crafters. From beginning to end the entire experience was fabulous.
To make the most of the space, we requested a lot of customization and Ed worked with us to ensure we got just what we wanted. He was patient, accommodating, flexible and understanding, even when build-day had to be delayed because Lowe's inadvertently delivered the wrong door.
The entire team was meticulously attentive to detail, which we very much appreciated. We also appreciated that Ed was onsite for the duration of the build. Call me partial, but I liked the fact that a woman was second in command.
The finished product is exactly what I/we wanted: an adorable cottage on the exterior (because since I have to see it every day I want it to be pretty) with a fully functional interior. The goal was to make the most of the space, reserving the floor for heavy/bulky items (lawn mower, generator, air compressor, etc.) with a highly organized interior without the need for free-standing shelves. To accomplish this we chose two lofts instead of one; "workbench" (aka lower shelf) on two walls instead of one, stopping it short to provide room for our bicycles; and U-shape upper shelving on three walls. As a result, not only is there room for everything, there is also room to grow.
Full disclosure: we provided the door and windows and Ed adjusted the price of materials accordingly. The French doors and double hung windows were a major splurge but are worth every penny. The 5' French door had to be ordered because that size isn't stocked locally. The quality of the lower priced brand sold by Lowe's was disappointing, whereas the brand sold by Home Depot is a much higher quality with a corresponding price tag, but again, worth it. Because of their size, the double hung windows had to be custom ordered / custom built, which took about a month. read more
