On site consultation ICON SHEDS estimated value
Shed leveling Tuff Shed minimum charge for leveling
Sub floor Tuff Shed's metal sub-floor is typically placed right on the soil, trapping moisture under the shed creating opportunity for mold, rust and dry rot during the cold wet winter season.
We believe our 3 tier Quality Floor System eliminates the moisture problems and allows air to flow naturally beneath the shed. We are so confident in our Quality Floor System we guaranteed the floor for life.
Windows Tuff Shed window price
Roof profile Nothing is more important than appearances, our roof profile enhances the look and feel of your shed. Your ICON SHED will blend in creating a attractive little house or cottage look rather than a plain shed. (actual cost of materials and labor)
Vents Tuff Shed vent price
Guarantee You guessed it, we have made some estimates, but it is difficult to place monetary value on our Quality First Guarantee. You decide how valuable our commitment is.
