About Our Company

We’re a family-owned shed building company based in Orlando, Florida. Founded by Gadiel Cruz and his wife in 2017 – the first sheds we ever built, we built ourselves. Today we’ve completed over 2,500 custom sheds across Central Florida. We build everything on-site, we never ask for a deposit, and we don’t stop until you’re satisfied. We’re bilingual – English and Spanish.

No. We are a fully independent, family-owned business. When you call us, you’re talking to us – not a call center.

Since 2017. Over 2,500 sheds built. Hundreds of five-star reviews. We’ve been in your neighbors’ backyards for nearly a decade.

Sí. Hablamos español. We serve a large Spanish-speaking community across Central Florida and take pride in communicating comfortably in both languages.

The Build Process

We show up to your property with our crew and all materials. We build your shed from scratch, right in your backyard, in a single day. No pre-built structures dropped by a truck. No cranes. No heavy equipment on your lawn. Everything is hand-carried in and built piece by piece on your property.

Most sheds are completed in a single day. Larger or more complex builds may take a day and a half, but we always aim to finish the same day we start.

No. We hand-carry all materials through a standard gate opening. Fence removal is never required — we work around your existing fence every time.

No. Because we don’t use heavy equipment or delivery trucks, there is no damage to your lawn, driveway, or landscaping.

Yes. We specialize in hillside and uneven terrain builds, especially in the Clermont and Lake County area. We use wood stilts and concrete pier supports to level your shed perfectly on any surface.

We serve all of Central Florida within approximately one hour of Orlando – Orange, Osceola, Polk, Seminole, Lake, Brevard, Volusia, Hillsborough, and Marion counties. For properties further away, a travel fee may apply. Call us to confirm.

Yes. We build custom horse run-in shelters for farms and rural properties, especially in the Ocala and Marion County area.

Permits & HOA

It depends on your county and shed size. Volusia County allows sheds up to 480 sq ft without a permit (as of June 2025). Others like Orange and Osceola require a permit for all sheds.

That is your decision as the property owner. We build with or without a permit. Our job is to give you the information you need to make the best choice for your situation.
