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.

Jess West Fargo

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!

If you’ve ever had a bad experience, you will appreciate this company. Beau is the owner and he was always so timely with responses for questions I had. He did what he said he was going to do and I have an awesome shed. He was onsite from start to finish. The shed is high quality and I am very pleased. Don’t pass by this company-stellar performance!

Beau was fantastic to deal with and made the process of getting a shed built so easy. Beau’s crew was very efficient and did a fantastic job - would highly recommend them to anyone!!!

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!

6 months ago Beau and his team built an 18x24 shed in our backyard to be half “man-cave” and half garage. I can’t say enough great things about Beau and his team. From helping tear down the existing structure, to making changes on the fly, it turned out amazing. Would highly recommend using SquareShed vs the pre-built options around the Carolinas. Wish I had more room to build another one!

Beau was amazing to work with and did a great job building a shed that's attractive, durable, and functional. Absolutely recommend SquareShed if you need a shed done right.

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.

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 am so happy with our new shed. All building materials are excellent. You will not find a warped or cracked 2x4 in the whole building. All walls are plumb and square. The three man crew was so professional, and hard working. They took less than one day to erect the shed . When they left, the shed was swept out and the grounds completely cleaned up. Beau worked hard to find the correct color to match our house. Everything about this shed is exactly as advertised and promised. Great job !!!

Beau and his crew did a great job! Everything was as advertised from our initial contact with Beau to when the keys were handed over to us. We cannot recommend SquareShed more!

We are so incredibly happy with Square Sheds. They were honest and transparent from the beginning. They worked with us on our deadline, and were very kind. They finished our size of shed in a day, start to finish. They cleaned up after themselves and left us with a perfect shed. We couldnt be more happy with their service and workers

The Square Shed crew was top notch from start to finish. They were great on the build design, answering questions, and worked with me on any special requests. The whole process was on time and the clean up was so good, you wouldn't even know they were there. I highly recommend Square Shed for anyone.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Square Shed and Beau! From start to finish, Beau provided excellent service, clear communication, and outstanding craftsmanship. The shed he built for us is not only beautifully designed but also incredibly well-constructed. His attention to detail and dedication to quality truly set him apart. If you’re looking for a custom shed, we highly recommend working with Beau—you won’t be disappointed!

I recently had the pleasure of working with a SquareShed who built a shed for me. I can confidently say that they were extremely professional in every aspect of their work. From the initial consultation to the final product, the constructor kept me informed and up-to-date on every detail of the construction process. Throughout the entire project, the constructor demonstrated a high level of expertise and skill. They were able to complete the work on time and within the agreed-upon timeframe. This was particularly impressive, given the complexity of the project and the fact that there were many moving parts involved. I would highly recommend this constructor to anyone who is looking for a reliable and skilled professional to build a shed.

The young man was very kind and respectful. We had seen a finished shed he had done for our SIL and was impressed with the quality of his work. He told us when to expect the delivery of the wood and it was on time. He showed up when he said he would. He worked hard all day and it showed in the quality of his work. The finished shed was awesome and definitely 100% better than if we had tried to do it. His price was very reasonable and he could have definitely charged more because the quality was exceptional. I would recommend him to anyone who wants a quality shed built.

I started searching where to buy a shed and was discouraged with the fact that I would need to prepare the spot I wanted it. And then I was Blessed to find Square Shed! I love what they offer. No stress on my end! I contacted Beau to see if they could fit me in their schedule as soon as possible and they did! I went with a 10x14 with the tiered shelving and a ramp. I absolutely love it and the guys were so polite and hardworking. They love their jobs and their boss. It Truly shows with their passion to create a beautiful shed! Beau is offering a wonderful service to people who desire a beautiful shed without the stress that other companies who offer prebuilt sheds and only offer to bring it but won’t offer to get the foundation ready. I am extremely pleased! Thank you Beau, Levi and SS team! Theresa

SquareShed is a top notch company. We worked with both Beau and Levi. They were very professional, thorough and communicated with us every step of the way. We are very happy with the quality of the shed as well and have shared our experience with friends and family. We highly recommend them!

Highly recommend! Very responsive and excellent communication throughout. Not to mention they built our 10x12 shed in 1 day on the hottest day of the year! Hard working guy for sure. You won’t be disappointed.

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. They delivered the materials one day, and by the next, our shed was built! No hidden costs, just top-quality work.

Beau and crew did a wonderful job at building our 12x16 foot shed from first inquiry to the finished project! Professional. Quality materials and great workmanship. They picked up things when finished and left our yard in tip top shape. Highly recommended! 5 Stars!

Great group of guys and had my building completed in two days. Would use again on future projects. Beau was a pleasure to work with!.

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!

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.

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.

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 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!!!

I couldn’t be happier with my new shed! The team came out and built everything right on site — quick, professional, and super polite. They also cleaned up everything before they left. The craftsmanship is excellent — solid construction, level foundation, and all the trim work looks great. You can tell they take pride in their work. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sturdy, well-built shed!

My husband and I both agree this little "she" shed has exceeded our expectations. Beau was so nice to work with did such a great job. Now my only problem is keeping it as a "she" shed and not a "he" shed.

Beau and his team were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and patient with our somewhat complicated build. Their attention to detail was second to none, and this is high praise coming from a very picky and detailed oriented client! I would highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to use their services again for future projects!

Just had Beau and crew build me a 10 x 12 shed. They showed up right on time on the day they said they would be there. I couldn't believe these guys could build this shed in one day. They use high quaility materials and have this down to a science. Highly recommended have them build your next shed you won't be disappointed.

As a realtor I am constantly asked for referrals for various vendors. I will now be recommending Square Shed! They were careful to check my build request details, great communication and reliability. They were able to return and make some small adjustments to make my shed the best on the block! Now I have the shed of my dreams! Thank you Beau and all the guys at Square Shed!

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.

Jeff N.

The process of working with Square Shed was professional, efficient and highly recommended. There was no impact to my property and it was amazing to see how they created a semi-prefabricated building and installation process with such great results.

Beau and his team were great to work with. I love how easy they made everything from the quote process to sending someone to the house to help me "see" where the best layout would be, to final build day! I love that I even got to pick my own color. Highly recommend using them for your shed project!!

Beau was great to work with! Very communicative, built us a great product, kept a tidy work area and was altogether pleasant. Glad he was able to get us a shed built quickly and that we were able to give him the business. 10/10 would recommend.
