How much extra does it cost to have my shed built on site?
There is no extra cost to have your shed built on your site. Several of the sizes we offer are not able to be delivered and have to be built on site. Many areas do not have access and the shed needs to be built on site. We pre-assemble the shed in our factory using our jigs to assure tight tolerances and do all of the painting in our climate controlled factory using automated equipment and bring the pieces to your site and assemble them there.
What is the delivery charge?
Delivery is free within our service areas.
Do I need a concrete pad?
No. Everything on the shed that touches the ground is treated. If you have a concrete pad and would like us to place the shed on it, we will be happy to. Please discuss the pad with us prior to installation so we can insure the pad meets our requirements.
What should I do to prepare the site?
The site should be level within 6 inches when our installers arrive. Our installers will not do any excavation work, but will level the building using pressure treated shims to raise the low places. If fill is needed, we recommend using gravel, which allows better drainage. We will need two feet all around the shed to properly install and level it. If you have any questions regarding the site, please contact the store nearest you.
Do I need to be present for the installation?
It is highly recommended that you be present to insure the shed is placed exactly how you want it. If the shed is delivered, there will be a fee to come back and move the shed. The delivery typically takes less than half an hour so it is well worth it to insure proper placement. If the shed is built on site, it is probably not possible to move it at a later date so it is even more important to get it exactly where you want the first time. Typical on site installations take one full day. If you do not wish to be present the entire time, please plan on being there the first hour or so. During this time we will complete the base and you can be sure it is placed properly before leaving.
What is the warranty?
The entire shed is guaranteed from top to bottom and front to back. It's that simple and there is no fine print. Our sheds are built well enough that it is easy to stand behind this warranty because we experience very few problems. If you do happen to experience a problem, just give us a call and we will schedule your service at your convenience.
What about building permits and neighborhood covenants?
Building permits are not provided by Murphy Sheds. Please consult your neighborhood covenants and local building department for setback and permit requirements. If you need anything from us to complete this process, just let us know.
How many of the testimonials I have been reading on your website are for real?
Every one of them and there are a lot more where they come from. We give our customers an optional survey to fill out and mail back to us and the comments on this site are from those surveys. We are very proud of each one of them and will continue to strive to earn more. That survey also asks our customers to grade the service and product they received. We are very proud of our ‘A’ rating in both categories. |
