Sheds and Pergolas for New Yards East of Town

A brand-new subdivision yard is a blank slate, but not always an easy one to build on. Backfill around a new foundation can keep settling for a few years, and the lot is graded to move water away from the house. A shed or pergola has to sit on a base that won't sink or block that drainage. We look at the slope and where the water goes before choosing between a gravel pad, deck blocks or poured footings.

Shed building often comes first, because the garage fills up fast once the mower, bikes and patio furniture all need a home. A basic shed usually runs $2,000 to $5,000. We frame the floor with treated lumber, keep it up off the wet ground, and set the door where it works with your gate and the path to the house. If the project needs a building permit, we tell you at the start and can coordinate with the municipality.

The older lots near downtown and on the Westside bring different work, such as replacing a rotted shed floor or framing a new room in a mid-century basement. Framing and finishing a basement room typically starts around $4,000. Every project gets its own written estimate covering materials, labour and timeline.
