SquareShed was excellent to work with from start to finish. Excellent communication and very professional. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to have a storage shed built.

Huge thank you to SquareShed for coming on a very short notice and building the perfect storage shed for us! If you’re looking for a shed look no further because you won’t find another with this quality.

Parker Moorhead

We couldn't be happier with Beau and SquareShed.

They delivered a high quality custom storage shed at an affordable price! Thank you!

Very easy process and very easy to work with. We had 8x12 shed built. Crew showed up at 8:00 am and were done by 4:00 pm. We were kept in the loop as far as day they would build. Absolutely no surprises.

Square Shed did a fantastic job installing a shed in my yard. They arrived exactly when they said they would, were very respectful and friendly throughout the process, and finished it exactly on time and for the price agreed upon. If you need a reasonably priced shed built in your yard, Square Shed is absolutely the people to contact.

Beau and his guys showed up and had my shed built in 1 day. I have a modern style house and I wanted my shed to match that modern style. We have a narrow pathway to where the shed was to be built so we couldn’t do a prefab building. Beau and I went back and forth over design ideas and came up with the design that compliments our house perfectly. He listened to what we wanted and definitely delivered. I’ve had many compliments on this shed and it is performing great. The process of him building it at his shop then disassembling it and putting it together at our site really makes it a better product. I would highly recommend SquareShed to build a great building!!!

Beau and his crew arrived on time and completed the 10x16 shed in a total of 6 hours. Quality build and materials. The best part is that I didn't have to do anything myself. They even got the foundation ready.

The shed SquareShed built for me is perfect! Beau is great at communicating throughout the process, which I really appreciated. More importantly though, he built a sturdy, high-quality shed with close attention to detail at a very reasonable cost. Plus, he did it all in one day! I hope he expands his business and adds decks or stairs to his offerings. I'd be very happy to his business again.

I highly recommend SquareShed, our experience with them was excellent from star to finish! Their team worked with us to create a shed/sitting space that was perfect for our yard.

My family’s experience with SquareShed was nothing short of spectacular. The owner’s accommodating spirit combined with the top-notch service provided by all of the employees, made for a truly relaxing and enjoyable experience. Beau and his crew went above and beyond our expectations, by listening and brainstorming options which, in the end, ensured that our build was exactly what we had envisioned. We were incredibly impressed with the efficiency with which they worked, finishing the project in less time than we had imagined, but with attention to even the smallest details. I hope all of our family’s projects will go as smoothly as this one but I’m betting I’ll be hard-pressed to find a more professional company to work with.

Beau and his team were phenomenal to work with while I was looking to tear down my current shed and build a brand new one. From phone call #1, Beau was attentive, asked the right questions and listened to what I needed. He was extremely responsive during the entire process and shared plenty of details and photos on their build technique so I knew what I was signing up for. They were very knowledgeable about building sheds, even on uneven spaces (mine was partially on the flat ground and partially on a concrete slab). Compared to other shed companies in Charlotte, they are the most cost effective for their services and products. 10/10 would recommend to anyone that is looking for a reliable, high-quality company. I love my new shed!

Beau and crew were amazing! It’s hard to know what you’re going to get with contractors and their quality of work/care but they really impressed me! Beau was so thorough and thoughtful with every response to my questions from the beginning and was ultimately the reason I went with SquareShed. They built our 10x16 in only 2 days despite some bad weather and met all our asks like color matching the house. The crew was very friendly and respectful as well. I love the shed!

I have an 8x12 shed it was put up in one day . The workmanship is great. I could not have bought a more solid shed. The crew showed up and went to work working like fine team.

We are very happy with our new shed. It was made to the exact specs that were discussed and quoted, no surprises!! The workmanship was top notch . All walls, floor, and roof are plumb and square. All workers were very courteous, professional , and hard working. They took less than one day to complete the build. All wrappings, trash, and left over material was picked up and taken away. We would not hesitate to recommend Square Shed.

I had been looking online at pre-build sheds for several months. Once I decided it was time to buy, the sheds I had been looking at had been sold, so I started looking again. This time, I found SquareShed and liked that they build onsite, they use 2"x6" boards for floor trusts (pre-built only used 2"x4"), you don't have to tear down your fence to get a pre-built shed into your backyard, and the price was similar to (if not less than) the smaller pre-built sheds I had considered. I called them on 9/5/24 (after 5:00pm) to ask some questions and the owner actually answered the phone (impressive). He asked me to submit a request online so he could get me a quote and told me to contact the City of Fargo to start a building permit application for my 12' x 24' shed (you don't need a permit for some smaller sheds). On 9/16/24, one of their men came over to see exactly where the shed would go in my yard, confirm the size/features I wanted, and get my deposit. Later that same day, the owner emailed me the drawings I needed to submit with my permit application and gave me the answers I needed for questions on the application I wasn't sure how to answer. On 9/20/24, I got my permit from the City. On 9/24/24, the crew arrived to start building. By mid-afternoon the next day, my shed was finished, my yard had been cleaned up, and they were gone (when they said they'd get it done in 2 days I wasn't sure they'd be able to do it -- but they did!). Now I just need to move everything I want from the garage and my older, smaller sheds (that my wife is VERY happy I'm getting rid of) into the shed. Go online. Check them out. Based on my experience, I highly recommend SquareShed!!!

I struggle to find the words to express how great SquareShed is. From the beginning the communication has been the best. Beau has kept me in the loop thru the whole process. Something that many companies do not do. I did shop around and the biggest selling feature with SquareShed for me was the foundation. I know that shed will stand for a long time. So shop if you want, you may find cheaper but you won't find better quality. I love my new garden shed! Thanks to your team and to you Beau!

Beau was great to work with. He was friendly, responsive, and followed through on his commitments. He helped to suggest and design a shed that fit in the available spot on my lot. The workmanship was very good. I would certainly recommend Square Shed to anyone looking for a custom shed.

He provided everything I wanted in a shed. The shingles, paint color, windows and shutters match or are at least similar to my house. We had him do the painting because he uses high quality paint and does good work. He demolished and hauled away the old shed. All the materials for the new shed had to be hauled by hand from the front yard to the backyard because there is no easy access to where I wanted it built. We were very impressed with the quality of his work, how accessible he was through emails and the calls he made back and forth from West Fargo building department. It didn't take long from planning the new shed, demolition of the old one, to having the finished product that easily passed building inspection.

What a wonderful experience! The shed is exactly as expected and all my questions were answered promptly and professionally. The yard was cleaned up with nothing for me to do but enjoy my shed! Thank you Square Shed!

Beau and his crew do such an incredible job! The quality of their work is top notch. They arrive ready to work and work hard. Beau and his team are very friendly to visit with, whether it be me or my 3 kiddos. We had Beau create a shed with a seating area attached and we are so incredibly happy with how everything turned out. We highly recommend working with Beau and his SquareShed crew!!

I highly recommend SquareShed. Beau was consistently attentive to my emails and calls, offering the best options for my needs. The crew was amazing—respectful, professional, and efficient.

Beau did an outstanding job building my shed on site. Despite the challenge of working in a fenced-in yard, they completed the project quickly and efficiently, all in just one day! They were extremely transparent and honest throughout the entire process, making it a stress free experience. Their pricing is very reasonable, and they’re incredibly easy to work with. If you need a shed built, don’t hesitate and hire Square Shed! Highly recommend!

Square Shed was fantastic to work with! From start to finish, everything was smooth, professional, and way above expectations. Special shoutout to Beau, the owner—his leadership and attention to detail set the tone for the whole experience. And Levi, the Fargo guy running the show, made everything happen quickly and flawlessly. Those two deserve all the credit for making the process not just easy, but actually enjoyable. If you want a company that does things right, treats you well, and delivers top-notch results—Square Shed is it. Highly recommend!

We had an incredible experience working with Beau and SquareShed. He was excellent with communication and planning, helped us out with his own opinions for our shed options, and was able to get it set and built all in one day! This is such a great service to have in the FM area and would highly recommend his business to anybody looking for outdoor storage.

Beau did the absolute best job on our 10 x 16 shed! He built it in one day right in our yard! You will not be disappointed if you hire him. He is very organized, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. He also has a very good website that provides all the details about the sheds he builds.

I highly recommend these guys! They built me a 12x16 shed that I'll be using for a woodworking shop in my backyard. Even upgrading to 8' sidewalls, they were a better price than the prebuilt shed I was originally going to get. All around great experience, and I'm really happy with the build quality.
