Meet Steve

Steve Walther

I'm Steve. I've been in the trades for 32 years. Started when I was 14.

"I love to build stuff, but I hate fixing things that aren't built right... so I build things I won't need to fix."

Every shed I build is something I'd put in my own backyard. That means 50-year panels, PVC trim that never rots, treated floor joists 16" on center sized to the span, and flooring that won't buckle if it gets wet. I don't use this stuff because it's expensive. I use it because it means your shed will still be standing in 25 years.

I build one shed per week, on-site, from scratch. Tight gate, narrow side yard, back corner of the lot? No problem โ€” your shed goes exactly where you want it. When I'm done, you inspect everything before you pay the balance. If anything isn't right, I fix it before I pack up my tools.

This isn't a franchise. It's me, on your property, building something that lasts.

"If you need a shed and don't use Steve, you're missing out. This shed is honestly some of the best money I've ever spent. Communication is great, materials are top notch. We have two dogs who love the yard and Steve had no problem with us leaving them in the yard even though I'm sure they were in his workspace more than once just being curious. The finished product is amazing and will definitely last a long time!"

"Steve is incredible. He built a custom shed for my backyard and did an outstanding job. Not only did he handle the entire build with skill, but he also walked me through every product he used and explained how the whole structure came together. Highly recommend him!"
