Wood Storage Sheds: The Current Top Choices
Back in the day, cheap wooden sheds were about the only choice if you needed backyard storage. They came with several variations of wood siding including T111, board and batten and then later DuraTemp siding. But all required plenty of maintenance, the minimum of which was keeping the paint on the wooden sheds fresh.

From Wood Storage Sheds to Vinyl Storage Sheds
Then came the addition of economy vinyl sheds. Vinyl Storage Sheds were bragged up to be the best maintenance free storage sheds on the market.
And no doubt, a vinyl sided shed lasts a very long time! There is virtually nothing to keep up with. No paint, no rotting (if you have a pressure treated floor), and more sleep at night!

2 Story Barn Garage – Excellent value and on time delivery. Very impressive team that works very hard. Arrived at 6:30 AM and worked until 7PM to finish – Everything was done as expected. this… is my 3rd project using them. Nix Besser as they say… Read more “Tom Roberts”
Sheds Unlimited was a pleasure to do business with. They delivered as promised at the price they promised even though the price of lumber had increased dramatically. They showed up at 6am on the day… promised. In 2 days they had a 28×48 garage done. Paint color even matched the house perfectly. There was an unforeseen problem with one of the garage doors and they came back in a timely manner and replaced the broken parts. Fit and finish is very nice and all that have seen it liked construction quality. The skylights on the second floor are great for daytime light and star gazing. Overall a very good experience. Thanks Read more “Sheds Unlimited Rocks”
I have nothing but good things to say about Sheds Unlimited. They were professional – every step of the way. They were patient when my wife and I spent 2 weeks deciding on colors. The… shed is rock solid and blends in perfectly. Nothing but kudos for Ben, AJ, and Nate. Read more “Eric Schulz”
Words are not enough to describe the quality of workmanship the quality of the materials used the honesty and work ethic of the Sheds Unlimited Family .I have never seen such hard working and high… work ethics in every individual that I dealt with in a company
The price was great and while other people nearly doubled their prices Sheds Unlimited never changed theirs throughout the whole process.
I received a lot of assistance in the design from Japheth our salesman and each time a change was made he sent me a new set of diagrams and cost breakdown. Total honesty from the beginning you just don’t see anywhere else.
The selection of buildings, materials, sizes and options was good but if I wanted I could have chosen anything offering flexibility.Gideon was a great help here and had great patience . I met a lot of the family when I went to Morgantown to the factory.Eli gave me the full detailed tour of the facility.I was introduced to a fine family of individuals whose ethic were beyond reproach.
The garage arrived at 7 am and was assembled as much as it could be by 8:00 pm the same day.The overdoors were not available yet and the windows sent were temporary due to the supply chain delays .Gideon was great in procuring the temporary windows which a couple of weeks later which were replaced by the ones my wife and I had selected. This was a special trip made by Sheds Unlimited giving you an idea of the lengths they go to to satisfy the customer.
The quality of the materials was amazing but the workmanship was even better.
These men worked solidly for 13 hours with an afternoon temperature of 102 degrees yet the workmanship and quality were perfect.
Very special thanks and credit to Gideon,Japheth ,Eli the assemblers the carpenters and the secretaries for helping me with the completion of this project.I wish Even my foundation man said he hasn’t had an easier time because of the accuracy of the drawings.
The overhead doors 8X10 and 8×13 open with one hand.
Don’t waste time going elsewhere . YOU WON’T FIND THE PRICE, HONESTY , QUALITY OF MATERIALS ,WORMANSHIP AND WORK ETHIC than you will find at Sheds Unlimited .
THANK YOU SHEDS UNLIMITED

Working with Sheds Unlimited was a pleasure. The process of designing and pricing a shed was very simple. I was able to make and submit changes easily, and they responded quickly to inform me of… the cost of my design. Once I completed the design process, signing a contract and making a down payment was simple. They told me when to expect delivery, and it was delivered as promised. The little “fork lift” type machine they used to bring it up the driveway and place it on the pad was amazingly maneuverable. I couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of the shed’s construction and with the entire design and purchasing process. I will use them again if I need another shed. Read more “Ben Berliner.”
One year ago I had my new 16X24 ft. garage built on my property by Sheds Unlimited. Due to high demand of products I had to wait 4 months. After the project was completed I… understand why high demand and 4 months of waiting time was justified. The whole project was completed in one day. The slab foundation was built according to specifications I received from Sheds Unlimited. As a result there were no delays or any necessity for “adjustments”. I believe that the price I paid was fair for the product. Last year in our area was the largest snowfall for last few decades. A structure and roof quality has proven the quality. I saw a couple of collapsed structures in our community. I asked the manufacturer a question about the structure and the roof before signing a deal and had his word that he has no knowledge of anything like this for Sheds Unlimited products. Probably the only improvement I would recommend is to give an option for metal roof. I have no reservations to recommend garage products. Read more “Nikolay Minkin”
The entire Team at Sheds Unlimited exceeded my expectation at every step along the process. From the initial design and pricing, to the final install everyone I dealt with was professional and courteous. The craftsmanship… and look of the garage is outstanding. Overall I would recommend them to anyone looking to build a shed or garage on their property. Read more “Nick Ciminello”
