1. Can you move my shed without taking it apart?
In many cases, yes. Our specialized equipment allows us to relocate many portable sheds, storage buildings, and cabins as a complete unit. Before scheduling your move, we’ll evaluate your shed’s size, condition, access, and destination to determine the safest relocation method.
2. How do I know if my shed can be relocated?
The easiest way is to send us photos and the shed’s dimensions. We’ll review the building’s condition, foundation, access, and travel route to determine if it can be safely transported. If there are any concerns, we’ll explain your options before the move.
3. Do you level sheds after delivery?
Absolutely. A properly leveled shed helps doors and windows operate correctly, reduces stress on the structure, and helps extend the life of your building. We make sure your shed is sitting as level as possible before the job is complete. Proper leveling is one of the most important parts of a successful installation.
4. Can you relocate my shed to another city?
Yes. We relocate sheds throughout Crystal River, Citrus County, and surrounding areas, and we can often transport buildings much farther depending on the size, route, and permitting requirements. Contact us for a custom transportation quote.
5. What should I do before my shed is moved?
Before moving day, we recommend removing everything from inside the shed, disconnecting the electricity, securing loose items, and clearing the access path of vehicles, branches, fences, or other obstacles. This helps make the relocation safer and more efficient.
10. Can you move older sheds?
Often, yes. Older sheds can usually be relocated if they’re still structurally sound. We’ll inspect the condition of the building and let you know whether it’s safe to move before beginning the project.
7. Do you transport brand-new sheds from dealerships?
Yes. If you’ve purchased a new portable building, we can often transport and professionally place it at your home or business, ensuring it’s positioned exactly where you want it.
8. What surfaces can you set a shed on?
We can place sheds on properly prepared gravel pads, grass, dirt, concrete slabs, blocks, or other suitable foundations. If you’re unsure whether your site is ready, we’ll gladly discuss what foundation works best before delivery.
9. How much does shed relocation cost?
Every move is different. Pricing depends on factors like the shed’s size, weight, travel distance, accessibility, terrain, and any leveling or additional services required. We provide straightforward estimates with no unnecessary surprises.
