    Our little house in Pacifica.
    Christie R.

    Hector and his team, initially run by David, were fantastic. During the initial discussion, Hector proved to have an excellent grasp of architecture, construction, and the costs associated with the various aspects of building an AUD. He was knowledgeable about local permits and the importance of informing our neighbors and the HOA about our plans. Everything ran very smoothly! And as Hector anticipated, the work took almost exactly 1 month to complete. Hector communicated with me regularly by email or text about work plans. There was only one 2 day delay (windows took a couple days longer to come in than expected). From what others have shared, that is minor in the scheme it things. Hector was great at asking about details over time, so he didn't overwhelm us. He confirmed as he systematically planned and ordered items - like paint colors and boarders, type of door, type of windows, outlet locations, wiring (we brought in an outside electrician for the house to house work), etc. What a change this finished little house has made in our lives! Our kids have more space, my husband is no longer working in a kids room, and we all have another spot to chill out when needed. I'm so in love with our little house. I highly recommend going with Best Shed Ever because you will end up with THE BEST SHED EVER!

    We love our new shed built by the Best Shed Ever team. Arles and his crew were awesome to work with! The project took just under a month to complete and we are so happy with how it turned out, as we use the shed as an office space every day. The quality of craftsmanship, the crew's attention to detail, and the level of communication were excellent. There were no change orders or surprises and Arles was proactive in reaching out to keep us updated on scheduling and timing. Couldn't recommend them more highly!

    The Best Shed Ever team was a pleasure to work with. Arles came by our house and put together a 12'x6' shed design that fit perfectly into a limited space area in our backyard. We worked out a fair price for the shed and the construction started about 2 weeks later. It only took the 2 carpenters a day and a half to build and paint the shed. The paint was a perfect match to our house. They workers were prompt, friendly and did meticulous work. I highly recommend Best Shed Ever to others.

    Original Chief Architect drawing

    I shopped for a shed company for about a year until I found Best Shed's website and went browsing through their ample gallery (go to their website to see the whole thing - there are hundreds of sheds to look at). There was a shed that stood out - entirely clad in real stone, and sporting wood beams. It had a VERY rustic look. I knew I had finally found my builder! I designed the look of the shed in Chief Architect software (not strictly necessary, but I've done eight renovations and now it's how I do things), and hired Hector and his team to figure out how to build it. Picture of the rendered concept-shed attached. Hector was VERY patient and indulged my weird passion for building a very small half-timber tavern (I'm in San Francisco and we're limited to 100 sqft). Truth be told, I'm not the hardest customer to deal with, I'm pretty easy going - but I did want A LOT of stuff. And he never gave up or tried to talk me out of all the bits I wanted. For that I'm grateful. :) My little shed/cabin/tavern includes custom stained glass windows (stainedglasswindows.com) the art for which was created from ai, reclaimed barnwood for the half-timber look, stucco for the plaster, chandelier and torch lighting from Romania and Ukraine, blacksmith made hardware from Indiana, and a barn door from Rustica.com. And the shed is a proper building. It is insulated, has full electricity, is fully finished inside and has glued in hardwood floors. It's like a real house (no plumbing, but that's more San Francisco Planning Dept's fault than Best Shed's). I will be honest... it took a while. But that's nothing new for coordinating a variety of trades coupled with trying to build something complicated outdoors over the rainy months. And of this writing it's 94% complete, only missing it's stone footing but I have every confidence that will be coming soon. And what you're asking - price. You aren't going to build what I did (because why would you? You will have your own dream) but I deal with contractors all the time and I thought Best Shed Ever's prices were lower than average for similar work. Simply put - if you have a simple shed or something heavy concept like mine, I wouldn't hesitate a moment to give Best Shed Ever a call.

    Finished product. High ceiling shed with custom paint job.

    Hector was outstanding during the planning phase. He made sure he understood our shed requirements. His team did everything professionally and with good attention to detail, down to the texturing of walls and edging of paint. In the end, my wife got the shed of her dreams. Now all we have to do is furnish it for her new office!

We drove over to their office, and Angela showed us around and took quite a lot of time to show us the various models and explained the available options. We picked out the model we wanted, and they were able to give us an installation date less than two weeks out. They had it installed and painted in just one day. There were a couple of issues with our shed installation, but when I called the office, Angela sent someone out the very next day to correct them. Overall, a very pleasant experience, and our shed looks great.

She went over all the different options I had and I was able to pick out something that fit my space and needs perfectly. Angela came out to check and measure my space beforehand and set a date for construction. The workers showed up on time and the shed was completed in less than two days. My shed was built on a slope, and when it was completed, I expressed concern with the piers that were placed on one end. Angela arranged for a supervisor to come out and, even though the piers were installed exactly as they said they would in the contract (I don't always read the small print), he had someone come out and revise them to appease me. I would highly recommend this company.

This WONDERFUL place has a HUGE assortment of pottery in so many colors, shapes, and sizes. I gotta add that our yards are beautiful thanks to being able to shop there. We get so many compliments from our neighbors and friends about the matching colors and sizes of the planted pottery in our backyard and front yard. I highly recommend you go and look around at the Plant and Pottery Outlet! You won't be disappointed, even my Honeyman enjoys going there, seriously. Also, we are older seniors, so we appreciate them loading our purchases in our SUV. And, when we buy HUGE pieces of pottery, we ask them about a delivery man that delivers. The guy delivery guy doesn't work for them, but they call him if you ask; and he's delivered to our home for a fee about four times through the years, which was well worth his price. And yes we tip him! Again, we love Plant and Pottery Outlet at 6467 Mission Road, Fremont CA. Thanks for reading and happy shopping!
