Long Island Shed Builders

It depends on size and your municipality. In most Nassau and Suffolk towns, sheds under 100–144 sq ft on a temporary foundation don't require a permit. Anything on a permanent foundation or over that threshold typically does. We pull permits for all projects that require one — it's included in your quote, not an add-on.

A standard 12×16 wood shed typically takes 1–2 days once the foundation is set. Custom builds or larger structures run 2–4 days. We always give you a firm schedule before we start, and we stick to it.

A pergola has an open lattice or beam roof — it provides shade and structure but lets light and a little rain through. A pavilion has a solid roof (shingles, metal, or polycarbonate), so it's full weather protection. If you want outdoor dining that works even when it's drizzling, a pavilion is the right call.

Yes. We've pulled hundreds of permits across Nassau and Suffolk municipalities. We know what each town requires, which drawings to submit, and how to get approvals without delays. All permit costs are included in your estimate upfront.

We offer pressure-treated skid foundations (no permit in many areas), concrete piers or tube footings, crushed stone beds, and full concrete slabs. The right choice depends on your drainage, soil, and intended use. Kevin walks every site and recommends based on what he sees.

Yes. Our portfolio page has before-and-after photos from 80+ projects across Long Island. You can also see project photos by service type (sheds, pergolas, gazebos, pavilions). We'll also share photos from projects in your specific town during the estimate walk-through.

Yes — we build Long Island sheds from Montauk to the Nassau border. Nassau County, all of Suffolk County, every town in between. We don't subcontract: same crew handles your shed from the foundation to the final trim. No travel fees anywhere on Long Island.

Most Long Island towns allow sheds up to 100–144 sq ft on a temporary skid foundation without a permit. The exact threshold varies by municipality — Hempstead, Oyster Bay, Islip, Smithtown, and Brookhaven all have slightly different rules. We check your specific town before quoting and pull the permit if one is required, at no extra charge.

Long Island shed prices start around $3,500 for a 10×12 wood shed on a pressure-treated skid and go up to $35,000+ for a custom 20×24 finished workshop with electrical and a concrete slab. Most homeowners spend $5,500–$12,000 for a 12×16 to 14×20 build. All quotes include materials, labor, foundation prep, and delivery.

We build with LP SmartSide engineered wood siding, western red cedar, vinyl, and composite panels depending on your preference and budget. Framing is kiln-dried pressure-treated lumber rated for Nassau and Suffolk County's coastal climate. Hardware is hot-dipped galvanized or stainless to resist salt air. Every material spec is in your written quote.

Most Long Island shed installs run 1–3 days for the build itself, depending on size and complexity. Permit turnaround in Nassau and Suffolk typically adds 2–6 weeks before the build date. We schedule your install date the day your permit is approved and stick to it. Same-week installs are possible for permit-exempt sizes.

You can order Long Island sheds from big-box stores, prefab shed dealers, or a custom builder like us. The difference: big-box and prefab sheds are drop-shipped kits with generic dimensions and no permit support. We build every Long Island shed on-site to your exact specs, match siding and trim to your house, and pull all Nassau and Suffolk permits. The installed price is competitive with delivered prefab sheds once you factor in foundation prep, assembly, and permit filing that prefab companies don't include.

We don't deliver prefab sheds — we build Long Island sheds on-site at your property. Our crew arrives with all materials, constructs the shed from the foundation up, and cleans up before leaving. This means your shed fits your exact lot dimensions and meets your municipality's code requirements. No travel fee anywhere in Nassau or Suffolk County.

For tight lots common in Levittown, Hicksville, and South Shore communities, an 8×10 or 10×12 shed maximizes storage without overwhelming the yard. We design narrow-profile and corner-fit sheds that work within tight setback requirements. Vinyl siding keeps maintenance at zero on a small shed. These sizes are typically permit-exempt in most Long Island municipalities.
