Nathan is a singer songwriter in the SE region of the US. He and his wife started looking for a peaceful, private space for him to write songs and play music with his friends… preferably outside the home, as they are planning for kids and were looking to free up space in their home. Nathan did a Google search and voila, found Modern Shed.

 

When he sent in his inquiry, our design pro, Phil reached out. Nathan said, “Phil was great. Very informative and beneficial. He answered all questions in a timely manner and made the process as easy as it could be.”

Nathan and Phil worked together quickly to come up with a simple and affordable design; one single swing door and two windows. Nathan particularly likes the upper transom windows which eliminate the need for more windows in the walls themselves.

With a quick turn around on the design, Nathan’s only challenge was finding the right person at the local building department to get information about the rules/regulations surrounding an additional small studio in his backyard. He said, “The biggest challenge was finding the person at the building dept to talk to about the permitting process. Once figured out the rest was easy.”

Once the Modern Shed panel components arrived, Nathan was on tour and so the Modern Shed preferred installer, Dave H received the freight and did the prep work and installed the shed. The installation took 2-3 weeks, which is several days longer than normal due to a hitch with the electrician.

Nathan said, working with Dave was great and, in his words, “Would definitely recommend Modern Shed AND the installer Dave H and his crew. They did an amazing job!!”

Nathan’s shed is not 100% complete as of this writing, as it still needs some painting and furnishings. He said it will hold musical instruments mostly but also a few furnishings for him and his friends to hang out and make music. He said, “My friends are all excited to use it and it’s perfect for what we are looking to use it for.”

In Nathan’s words, “My name is Nathan and my wife, and I just had a modern shed built in our backyard. I wanted to reach out and give a heartfelt 10/10 review of our contractor Dave Hynson. From the first conversations we had, he let me know that the project would be in good hands. Turns out, he was right. From scheduling to communication to overall kindness, Dave made this process as easy as it could be. He also served as the super-glue of the project; often times making sure all other subcontracted workers were on the same page about the direction of the project and kept in good communication with my wife and I. When the inevitable speed bumps arose during the process, Dave assured us each step of the way that all would be well and work out, and once again, he was correct.”
