Sheds

Custom Site-Built Sheds

What do you get in a Bedrock shed?


A building framed and finished like a house, built in your yard, on a reinforced foundation you pick. Four standard sizes, from $15,000 to $18,000 — and we build whatever size you like beyond that. Just tell us what you need.

The 10×12 is where most people land. At $150 a square foot it’s the best value on the grid, and it’s the largest building California lets you put up for storage without a building permit.

Want something bigger, longer, or a shape that isn’t on this list? We build it. It’s a custom quote and we handle the permit under our license.

Starting prices are firm for our standard build on a level, accessible site. We confirm the number in person before anyone signs anything.

Construction

How it’s built


Six phases, in this order. Every one of them happens in your yard.

1. Foundation

Poured slab: 3 inches of gravel, 2 inches of compacted sand, a 10-mil vapor barrier, #4 rebar through the footings and slab, then 4 inches of 2,500 psi concrete. Or concrete piers: 12×12 piers set into the ground with galvanized brackets, pressure-treated 4×6 beams, 2×6 joists at 16 inches on center hung in metal hangers at both ends, and a ¾-inch plywood subfloor screwed down instead of nailed. Nailed subfloors work loose and squeak. Screwed ones don’t.

2. Framing

2×4 Doug fir studs at 16 inches on center. 4×4 posts. 2×8 Doug fir rafters. Pressure-treated sill plate anchored with 5/8-inch galvanized bolts every 36 inches. Then structural plywood — 19/32″ on every wall, 23/32″ across the whole roof. That sheathing line is the one worth reading twice. Kit sheds use thin panels or skip it entirely.

3. Roof

Sixty-minute building paper, roof felt underlayment, drip edge, then Owens Corning asphalt shingles. Pick your color from the full range — tans, greys, blacks — at no upcharge. The same roof system as the house it’s parked behind.

4. Exterior

Tyvek house wrap, then Hardie Board Cement Siding. Cement board doesn’t rot, doesn’t swell, and termites have no interest in it.

5. Paint

Prep, prime, and two finish coats in the color you pick — Behr Marquee or Sherwin-Williams. It shows up finished. No “we’ll paint it next spring.”

6. Openings

One 24″ x 48″ window and one fiberglass door. Bigger windows, extra windows, and different door configurations are all quoted per job.

Most builds finish in one to two weeks from the day we start the foundation.

Interior

What’s the inside like?


Unfinished. Bare studs & floor.

That’s deliberate, and it’s how the price stays where it is. You get a sound, dry, sealed structure. Finish it now, finish it later, or leave it bare and store the mower in it. The shed doesn’t care.

When you do want it finished, we finish it.

What it costs to finish the inside

8×108×1210×1010×12
Insulation — R-15 walls, R-30 ceiling$900$1,050$1,100$1,300
Drywall, taped and textured$2,600$3,100$3,250$3,900
Interior paint, two coats$1,400$1,650$1,750$2,100
Vinyl plank flooring with baseboard*$950$1,100$1,150$1,400
Tile flooring with baseboard*$1,750$2,100$2,150$2,600

The Finished Interior package

Insulation, drywall, interior paint, and flooring, bought together.

Finished Interior8×108×1210×1010×12
With vinyl plank flooring*$5,350$6,400$6,700$8,000
With tile flooring*$6,100$7,300$7,600$9,150

That’s $500 to $750 less than the four items priced separately.

*Flooring assumes a material allowance of $3 per square foot for vinyl plank and $5 per square foot for tile. You pick the product. The line adjusts to what you choose.

Electrical is quoted per job. Trench distance to your panel and what the panel can carry move the number too much for us to publish one. You get a real figure at the site visit. Running power to the building also automatically triggers a permit, which we pull under our license.

Customization

What can you change?


Everything. It’s a custom building — this is a starting point, not a catalog.

8×108×1210×1010×12
Sand finish stucco$2,300$2,750$2,900$3,450
Smooth coat stucco$3,450$4,150$4,300$5,150
Board-and-batten siding$2,900$3,450$3,600$4,300
Gutters$650$800$800$1,000
Gable roof instead of single pitch$800$1,000$1,000$1,200

Stucco uses a black building paper and wire lath assembly instead of Tyvek. Different cladding, different weather barrier — both waterproof, neither interchangeable.

Uses

What people build them for


A backyard office

The most common reason people call us. Out of room in the house, tired of working at the kitchen table, and not willing to move. Add the Finished Interior package and you have a real room.

Storage

The volume request. A 10×12 holds the bikes, the tools, the holiday bins, and everything that’s been in the garage since you moved in.

A gym or a golf simulator

Insulated, floored, and framed at 16 on center so a rack, a screen, or a mount lands on a stud every time. This is our most highly customizable option, and it’s growing in popularity. We do it all.

Permits

Do you need one?


A storage building under 120 square feet doesn’t need a building permit in California, as long as it’s one story and twelve feet or under. All four standard sizes are at or under that line.

Anything over 120 square feet needs a permit, and so does any building with power run to it. We pull it under our license, CSLB #1087479, and handle the inspections.

Setbacks apply either way. They are written city by city rather than statewide, so we look up the rule for your parcel. We measure that at the site visit before anything gets ordered.

The Comparison

Why this costs more than a kit shed


Because it isn’t the same product.

An installed kit shed from a big-box store runs roughly $3,000 to $7,300. It sits on skids or a gravel pad. Light wall framing, flimsy material.

Ours goes on a reinforced foundation, gets framed at 16 inches on center, gets structural plywood on every surface, and gets cement siding that will not rot. Same yard, same weather, two very different outcomes at the ten-year mark.

A kit shed is cheaper on day one. Ours is cheaper on year ten.

Build once.

Questions People Ask

The rest of it


What’s included in the starting price?

The whole outside of the building: foundation, framing, structural sheathing, roof, siding, two coats of exterior paint, one window, one fiberglass door. Unfinished inside.

Slab or piers — which costs more?

Neither. Same price. Your yard decides which one is right, and we make that call at the site visit.

What if my yard is sloped?

That’s what the pier option is for. We have you covered in any circumstance.

Can you build a size that isn’t on the list?

Yes. Any size, any shape. Tell us what you need and we’ll quote it.

Can I finish the inside myself?

Yes. It’s a bare, sound shell — studs, sheathing, a sealed floor. Plenty of people do their own drywall and flooring.

How long does it take?

Most builds finish in one to two weeks from the day we start the foundation. Black-framed windows and doors add about two weeks of lead time to the order.

Do you build saunas too?

We do, and we build them properly. See the saunas.
