Craftsman Shed has been building sheds in the Austin area since 2007. I think being a shed builder is a great business to be in, because there is a big opportunity to improve over what is widely available, and it provides a creative outlet for me and my customers. My first shed of course is one that I built for myself. I looked around at other sheds at the big box stores and didn’t like what I saw. Those designs all looked so corny. Instead, I looked to the beautiful and classic architecture in my own East Cesar Chavez neighborhood for inspiration.

It is full of old Vernacular-Victorian and Craftsman style homes, hence the name Craftsman Shed. Now, my customers are my greatest inspiration, as they are the ones who come up with the cool designs. I facilitate their creative process with a few guidelines and the knowledge of how to execute the details. Some people need only basic storage, while others need a place to pursue their passions. Lately, we have been building more studios, which serve as a place for our customers to pursue their personal and professional passions. |

This is still one of my very favorite sheds. This is the only cedar shed, and the only true board and batten building we have done. It is constructed of 1x12 cedar boards that are vertical and go all the way from top to bottom. Then we put cedar battens over the gaps between the boards. I reused an old door and window, and put some extra love into the trim. If you look carefully you can see the special metal drip-edge just under the roof. It’s made of Copper! ...More |
