If you own a shed on your property, you know all about the convenience one offers for homeowners. They declutter your house and help you organize all of your lawn care and gardening equipment. So, if your shed is in disrepair, you don’t want to give up that convenience. Now you’re faced with a choice: should you repair your existing shed or replace it with a brand new one?
Benefits of Refurbishing Your Damaged Shed
The cost of repairing a shed will always be cheaper than the cost of replacing it with a new shed. You’re saving on materials, as not every part of your shed will need to be replaced, and you’re saving on labor, as it takes less time to repair parts of a shed than building one from scratch. Another benefit of repairing your shed is that all of the work is done on-site. Often, shed builders will construct their sheds off-site and deliver them to your yard with heavy machinery. That heavy machinery will tear up your lawn and force you to reseed your grass. Lastly, you won’t have to worry about tearing down and disposing of your old shed, which in itself can be a costly endeavor.
Benefits of Buying a New Shed
When you buy a new shed, you are ensuring that every part of your shed is durable and will last for decades with proper maintenance. There’s no risk of a rotten joist that was missed in the repair. Buying a brand new shed also provides you with the opportunity to change the size of your shed. Repairing a damaged shed means you’re stuck with the same frame, the same dimensions as before. By tearing down your old shed and building new, you can easily add square footage by simply ordering a larger shed this time. You will, however, need to expand your gravel pad or other foundation to match the larger size.
Benefits You Receive From Both Options
Whether you refurbish your old shed or tear it down and start anew, there are a few shared benefits of updating your shed. You can use this opportunity to choose a new type of siding and color for your shed, changing it to match your home or have a completely different look that suits you. You will also have the option of changing up your shed doors or windows, widening a single door to a double door, installing new or larger windows for more light, or keeping the same size door with a different style. Use this opportunity to give your backyard a new look!
Why Repairing Your Shed is Usually the Best Option
Repairing a deteriorated shed is almost always the cheapest and best option. You’ll save money, time, and your yard from being torn up by heavy equipment delivering a new shed. The only time you need to buy a brand new shed is if the damage to your current shed is extensive, like if the frame has rot damage. A rotting frame means we won’t be able to replace the components on top of it. At that point, it’s best to start fresh with a newly built shed.
