Are you tired of tripping over the lawnmower every time you try to grab your bikes? Building a custom shed is the best way to get your garage back, but rushing into it without a plan is a quick route to problems. Wichita Shed Builders maps out a backyard project so it goes step by step from the first sketch to the final cleanup.
The Timeline: What to Expect Week by Week
Most homeowners want to know how long the entire process takes. From the day we finalize a design to the moment you start loading in your gear, you are usually looking at about four to six weeks. The first week or two is all about design, material choices, and sorting out paperwork with the MABCD here in Wichita, KS. Once permits are rolling, material delivery takes a few days. Actual on-site construction usually only takes two to four days depending on the size and complexity of the Custom Shed build.
Preparing Your Yard for the Build
Kansas weather can change very quickly, and our local clay soil loves to hold onto moisture after a heavy spring storm. Before Wichita Shed Builders shows up with lumber and tools, make sure your build site is accessible. Clear out any low-hanging tree branches, move patio furniture out of the way, and make sure we have a clear path to get materials from the driveway to the backyard. If your property sits on a slope, we deal with grade changes all the time, but we will need to account for extra leveling work upfront.
Important Questions Before You Sign That Contract
Never sign a construction agreement until you have straight answers to a few key questions. You need to know who is pulling the local location permits, what exact wind ratings the framing and roof meet to stand up against our open plains gusts, and what kind of warranty covers both the workmanship and the materials. Wichita Shed Builders always lays this out clearly on paper so there are zero surprises halfway through the week.
