Our clients have turned their modern Sheds into home offices, art studios, guest cottages, man caves, fitness rooms, music studios, garden sheds and more. Checkout our stories at www.modernshedblog.com How long does it take to install a Modern Shed? A: For a small home office style shed, (under 120sf) the timeframe can vary from 4-8 weeks (depending on window, door and paint selections) from the time the customer approves the design to delivery. Installation of these smaller structures can take 3-5 days once installation begins. Larger dwelling (permitted) style structure have a widely varied timeframe based on each building jurisdiction. Permitted projects can take 4 months to over a year from start to finish. Do we need a permit to build a Modern-Shed? A: In many cities and jurisdictions, you can place a Modern-Shed without a permit based on size and location. Please check with your local building jurisdiction to find out any zoning/set-back/building restrictions or guidelines. Modern-Shed structures are designed and with certain options, are 100% permit-able; even in the strictest building code jurisdiction of Los Angeles, CA. Your Modern-Shed representative will assist you in designing your Modern-Shed to meet the exact requirements needed for your area. Can Modern-Sheds be installed with electricity and plumbing? A: Yes. Ask your Modern-Shed representative about options to connect your Modern-Shed with utilities. We pre-drill all of our framing units to accommodate electrical wires. Final electrical work is completed by installers on site. Modern-Shed will soon be partnering with a solar company to give you even more flexibility. Do Modern-Sheds need a foundation? A: Not in the traditional sense. Modern-Sheds ordered without our unique floor sytem can be placed on a poured slab or by using our unique (can be pre-insultated), panelized floor system can be installed with minimal ground work. We have developed several systems that meet local building code and adapt to uneven grade with minimal site work required. Does Modern Shed offer financing? A: Modern Shed has teamed up with Acorn Finance, a trusted name in finance to provide you with a myriad of lenders and finance options with rates as low as 4.99 (as of 09.17.20).

A: Yes, we offer the highest quality paint from Benjamin Moore® as an option, which we do at our manufacturing facility for our customers' convenience. How much does a Modern-Shed cost per square foot? A: Modern-Sheds vary enormously in size, design and options, all of which affect cost. Therefore we never quote a per square foot price. Come to us with your idea. We'll discuss options with you and create a structure/price to meet your budget.
