Shed Moving Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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. Give us a call at 641-255-1675, and we’ll evaluate your specific situation and recommend the safest approach.
Does Fairfield, 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 Fairfield’s official website.
How long does it take to relocate a shed?
For local moves, the process usually takes just a few hours, depending on the size of the shed and site conditions. Long-distance moves, however, may take a full day or longer.
What types of sheds do you move?
We move a wide variety of sheds, such as all types of storage sheds, garage sheds, and cabin sheds. We even move horse shelters, chicken coops, playhouses, and many more! If you’re unsure whether we can move your shed, give us a call at 641-255-1675, we’d be happy to discuss options and find a solution that works for you!
How much does it cost to move a shed?
The cost varies based on the size and weight of the shed, the distance to be traveled, and additional services like leveling or site preparation. For a customized quote, reach out to us, and we’ll be happy to provide details tailored to your needs.
Can a shed be moved without disassembling it?
Yes, we can transport most sheds without taking them apart. This allows you to reposition your shed on your property or move it to a new location with ease. For larger sheds or those on concrete foundations, partial disassembly may be necessary. Our team provides disassembly and reassembly services to simplify the process.
Site Preparation Tips
Choosing the perfect location for your shed is key to ensuring a smooth and hassle-free placement process. Consider the following tips:
Site Access: Make sure the path from the driveway or road to the shed site is clear of obstructions like low-hanging branches or utility wires.
Site Grading: Use an accurate level to confirm that the shed pad is even before installation to prevent alignment issues.
Site Foundation: A gravel base or concrete pad is strongly recommended to provide long-lasting stability and support for your shed.
For more information on preparing your site or advice on shed pad installation, visit our site prep page or reach out to us with any 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!
