Q: What should I do to prepare the site prior to your arrival? A: We do require the construction area to be cleared and prepared to within 6" of level (front left, back to front), that we have at least 3' of clearance around and above the building site (4 feet if your building is larger than 160 sq. ft.). We also ask you place four stakes in the ground where you want the four corners of your building and a fifth stake where you would like the center of the door opening.

FOUNDATION: Q: I have an existing concrete slab, can you build on it? A: Although the vast majority of our buildings are constructed on our wood floor system and sufficient for any application, we do have the ability to construct your Handy Home building on an existing slab provided the slab is level within 1/2" and appropriately sized. Because of the individual nature of each slab, please contact us to determine if your slab meets our specifications.

POST PURCHASE: Q: Can my shed be moved after installation? A: In most cases, depending on the size of the unit and the distance required, your building can be moved. Please keep in mind that each Handy Home shed is built on site and moving the building will void your warranty. That is why we request your presence at the beginning of the construction phase, to ensure you choose the proper location for your building the first time. Q: You've already built my shed; but I want more options now.

In addition, all installers must pass a rigorous background check and complete our training program before becoming certified as a Handy Home installer.
