Our Shed Moving Service Process


Shed Moving Frequently Asked Questions

What types of sheds do you move?

We move a variety of sheds, including storage sheds, garages, cabin sheds, horse shelters, chicken coops, and playhouses. If you’re unsure whether your shed can be relocated, contact us at 641-255-1675, and we’ll help you find the best solution.


Do I need a permit to move my shed in Centerville?

We handle all oversize transportation permits required for moving sheds. However, securing permits for shed placement on your property is typically the owner’s responsibility. You may need to check with the City of Centerville or Appanoose County officials for those permits.


How far can you move my shed within the Centerville area?

We provide shed moving services throughout Centerville, IA, and the surrounding communities. For specific distance limitations or special requests, we encourage you to contact us at 641-255-1675 to discuss your unique shed-moving needs. Our team is equipped to handle local moves across properties and longer relocations when needed.


How much does it cost to move a shed?

The cost to move a shed depends on several factors, such as the shed’s size, weight, the distance to be traveled, and any additional services like site leveling or preparation. Contact us for a customized quote tailored to your specific needs.


How long does it take to relocate a shed?

The time required for a shed move varies. Local moves are typically completed in a few hours, while long-distance relocations may take a full day or more, depending on the shed’s size and the site conditions.


What types of terrain can you handle in the Centerville area? 

We’re experienced in moving sheds across various terrains, including gravel, grass, and dirt. In Centerville, we often encounter properties with soft soil or uneven ground, and we’re equipped to handle those challenges.


Can a shed be moved without disassembling it?

Yes, most sheds can be moved without disassembly, making it convenient to relocate them within your property or to a new location. However, larger sheds or those on concrete foundations may require partial disassembly. If needed, we offer professional disassembly and reassembly services to streamline the process.


Are there any local regulations for moving a shed within Centerville? 

Centerville may have specific guidelines regarding shed placement and relocation. It’s a good idea to check with the Centerville Building & Zoning Department to ensure you comply with any local ordinances or permit requirements.


Can a shed be moved with items inside?

This depends on the size, weight, and durability of the shed. Smaller, well-built sheds can sometimes be moved with lightweight contents inside, but it’s generally safer to remove heavier or loose items. Call us at 641-255-1675 for an evaluation of your situation, and we’ll recommend the safest approach.


How do you ensure my shed is moved safely?

We use specialized equipment and experienced professionals to ensure your shed is moved safely and efficiently. We understand that your shed holds valuable tools, equipment, or personal items, and we take extra care to make sure everything is secure throughout the process.



Site Preparation Tips

Selecting the right location for your shed is crucial for a seamless installation. Here are a few key tips to get your site ready:

  • Clear Site Access: Ensure the path from the road or driveway to the shed site is free from obstacles such as low-hanging branches, utility wires, or debris.
  • Level Grading: Check that the shed pad is level using a reliable tool. An uneven surface can lead to alignment problems over time.
  • Strong Foundation: A gravel base or concrete pad is highly recommended for long-term stability and support.

For detailed guidance on site preparation or advice on shed pad installation, visit our site prep page or contact us directly with your questions!


Great shed moving experience!

Curtis delivered my beautiful High Barn with a loft in July 2016 to a spot I thought I would want to leave it in forever, but this year we decided to build a garage in that location so I asked Curtis if I could hire him to come back and move it to my new location. It’s now in it’s forever home and still as structurally sound and beautiful as the day he delivered it three years ago! I love the quality craftsmanship and I love Curtis’ great customer service even more! He arrived on time and was finished in the exact amount of time he said he would be! Thank you, Curtis!

Highly recommend for shed moving!

Researching sheds took a while until I dealt with Curtis and these folks. Great service, great communication, and an excellent end product. I could not be happy. Even the little things, zero damage to my yard while moving it in. Very well done. Will recommend to anyone looking for a shed.
