Can a shed be moved with its contents inside?
This depends on the structure’s size, weight, and durability. While smaller, well-built sheds may be moved with lightweight contents inside, it’s generally safer to remove heavier or loose items.

Does Creston, Iowa, require permits for moving sheds?
We handle all necessary oversize permits for shed transportation. However, permits for placing the shed on your property are typically the responsibility of the owner. More information regarding shed placement permits can be found on Creston’s official website.
What happens if my shed is damaged during the move?
We take every precaution to protect your shed during transport and are fully insured against major damage. However, minor wear and tear during the move is not covered. To minimize risk and ensure a smooth process, please ensure the pathway to the shed is clear of overhanging branches and obstacles.
Site Preparation Tips
Selecting the right location for your shed can make the placement process smoother and stress-free. Keep the following in mind:
Site Access: Ensure there’s a clear path from the driveway or road to the shed site, free of low-hanging branches or utility wires.
Site Grading: Check that the shed pad is level before installation using an accurate level to avoid future issues.
Site Foundation: A gravel or concrete pad is highly recommended to provide a stable and durable foundation for your shed.
For detailed guidance on-site preparation or recommendations for 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!
