Auburn homeowners seeking a new shed benefit from our focused approach and proximity. Being based in Renton, we're just a short drive down Highway 167, allowing for efficient site visits and material deliveries without significant logistical overhead.

Our construction methodology prioritizes durability and specific functionality. We don't just assemble kits; we build structures. This involves using pressure-treated lumber for all ground contact elements, ensuring resistance against rot and insects, which is crucial in the Pacific Northwest's damp climate. We also specify 7/16-inch OSB sheathing for walls and roofs, providing a rigid base for siding and roofing materials, which means your shed will stand strong against wind and weather for decades. We detail our framing with 16-inch on-center studs, a standard residential construction practice, for superior strength.
When you work with us, you'll receive a detailed proposal outlining material specifications, a clear timeline, and a breakdown of the construction phases. We handle everything from foundation preparation, whether it's a gravel pad or concrete slab, to the final roofing and trim work. Our goal is to deliver a fully functional, high-quality shed with minimal disruption to your daily routine, leaving you with a structure built to perform exactly as intended.
For sheds in Auburn, we typically recommend either a compacted gravel base or a concrete slab foundation, depending on the shed's size and intended use. A gravel base, consisting of 4-6 inches of compacted crushed rock over a geotextile fabric, provides excellent drainage and is suitable for most storage sheds. For heavier use, like a workshop or if you plan to install heavy machinery, a 4-inch reinforced concrete slab poured over a vapor barrier offers superior stability and a perfectly level floor, which means less settling over time.
Yes, sheds larger than 200 square feet in Auburn typically require a building permit from the City of Auburn Planning and Development Services. Even smaller sheds might need a permit if they are placed within specific setback distances from property lines or other structures, or if they include plumbing or electrical work. We can assist with understanding the specific requirements for your project and help prepare the necessary documentation to ensure compliance with local zoning and building codes, avoiding potential issues later.
For sheds in Auburn's climate, we recommend durable, weather-resistant siding options like engineered wood siding (e.g., LP SmartSide) or T1-11 plywood siding. Engineered wood siding offers excellent resistance to moisture, rot, and insects, comes pre-primed, and holds paint well, which means less maintenance. T1-11 is a cost-effective choice that provides a classic shed look and good structural rigidity. Both options are designed to withstand the Pacific Northwest's wet winters and provide long-term protection for your shed's contents.
