Welcome to Birmingham Alabama's on-site shed builder
Cahaba Shed Crafters is an on-site shed builder in the greater Birmingham Alabama area. We build one shed - Your Shed! We don't build our sheds and then try to sell you on them. As a high quality builder we promise you will always get high quality materials and workmanship and we back this promise with our 10 year warranty. We never engage in bait and switch tactics. The prices we quote includes the whole price: taxes and installation always included as well as quality features such as custom painting, 3/4 inch decking, and vents. While we do offer some optional add-ons, quality is never an add-on.


As an on-site builder we can place your shed where you want it without taking down your fence or driving over your lawn with heavy equipment. We hand carry the materials to the build site and have very low impact on your yard. We have experience working within the guidelines from municipalities and HOAs.
Another advantage you get when you choose us is that we can build our sheds on uneven ground. The support and bracing is built right into the framing of the shed. This makes it much more stable than having your shed sitting on a spindly pile of blocks.

Pricing
We keep our pricing simple and upfront. The shed prices always include taxes and fees so that you have no surprises! All our prices include a double door, at least one window, and custom painting.

These are our larger sheds - 200+ square feet. With the purchase of one of these sheds we will give up to 3 free windows and a free ramp if you want one!

High Quality
What makes our sheds high quality?
1. Built On-site
There are many reasons to build on-site vs moving in a pre-built shed. If you have a fenced backyard it can be a hassle, not to mention an extra expense, to have part of the fence removed and then replaced after moving in a shed. Building on-site does not tear up your yard as is done when you have heavy machinery driving over it to bring in a shed. Loading and unloading these pre-built sheds puts a lot of stress on them cutting their usable lifespan. Our sheds are built on-site by our professional builders so that you get to enjoy your new shed for many more years to come.

2. The Shed Floor

Our high quality starts in the floor. We frame the floor with treated 2X6 lumber rather than the industry standard 2X4s. Our 3/4 plywood floor decking gives a more solid floor than the 5/8 plywood used by many builders.
3. The Shed Walls
The quality continues into the wall and roof framing which is always 16 inches on center. I do not know of another shed builder in the area that frames this way. They all frame it 24 inches on center. This means we have an extra stud and roof truss for every four foot of your wall and roof which makes a stiffer and more secure wall and a stronger roof.

Our sheds are sided with LP Smart Siding - a manufactured wood siding which carries a 50 year manufacturer warranty. Although this is a pretty popular siding choice for shed builders, there are certain manufacturer requirements that must be followed or the warranty is void. 1. It must be installed on framing that is 16 inches on center and 2. It must be painted. We include both of these elements standard on our sheds. Most other builders will not include both of these elements in their standard pricing and will then offer it as an upgrade if you happen to ask about it. Our customers can rest easy that we have done our research on all the products that we use and that we follow best practices to give you a long lasting shed without you having to ask and without surprising you with extra charges.
4. The Shed Exterior Finish

We custom paint the exterior of every shed using Sherwin Williams' Super Paint which carries a lifetime warranty. You can choose up to three colors included in our standard pricing.
5. The Shed Roof
We install 30 year architectural shingles on our sheds which is what is used on most new homes today. Many of our competitors use the 15 year 3-tab shingles.

6. The Shed Vents

Our sheds come standard with fresh air vents in the gable ends. This helps clear moisture out of the shed so that you don't get mildew growth inside.

Optional Add-ons
Cahaba Shed Crafters is proud to offer high quality products and great value. We have an impressive selection of options to add your personal touch to your shed. Whether you are looking for storage or hobby space, home office or tiny house, we have the options to personalize your shed to fit your needs. Browse through our options below to get a better idea of what we offer and feel free to get in touch with us about any questions. We will be more than happy to assist you with whatever you may need.
Windows
$120 each
Our standard windows have aluminum frames and have an operational bottom sash with a screen. All our sheds under 80 square feet come with one free window included. Sheds from 80 to under 200 square feet come with up to two free windows. All sheds 200 square feet and over come with up to three free windows. This price is for additional windows.

Doors

Double $300
Single $200
Our sheds come standard with your choice of a single or double door. Some people like an additional point of access and we can definitely accommodate that need.
Ramp
$150
If you plan to be storing large items like appliances or riding lawn mowers a ramp can be very useful. It can also be helpful if the lay of the land causes the door side of your shed to be higher off the ground. Some people prefer steps to a ramp and we can build a set up to 4 steps high for the same price.


Higher Walls
7 foot sidewalls $200
8 foot sidewalls $300
Our sheds come standard with 6-1/2 foot sidewalls. This is high enough for most applications without being too high for most HOAs. Depending on the use for the shed however it may make sense to have higher walls. We are happy to offer 7 ft and 8 ft sidewall options.
Transom Windows

$100 each
If you want to add extra daylight in your shed or just want a special look these windows will deliver!
Shutters and Window Boxes
Shutters $50/ pair
Window boxes $50 each
These additions beautify your shed and can be painted to match your color scheme. Our custom painting includes up to 3 colors so you can paint your shutters and windowboxes to match your trim or paint them am accent color. We have two styles of shutters - the louvered style and the craftsman style.


Workbench and Shelves

Workbench $125
Loft $175
Three shelf unit $200
Our workbench is 24 inches deep and is usually set at 36 inches height.
The loft is handy for storing items up high that you may need only occasionally. It is 32 inches deep and is usually installed above head height. We recommend upgrading the sidewalls to 7 or 8 foot if you want a loft.
The shelf unit is 16 inches deep and comes with 3 shelves. We usually space the shelves equally on the wall.
Solar Lighting
One light head with panel $100
Two light heads with panel $150
If you plan to be in your shed for extended times or if you know you'll need light we offer a solar lighting option to help light up the inside.

Insulation

$3/ square foot of insulated surface
We can insulate your floors, walls and ceiling any surfaces we insulate we will also include a vapor barrier. If you plan to insulate later we recommend letting us insulate at least the floor since that is hard to go back and insulate later.
Pine Tongue and Groove
$7/square foot of covered surface
This is a beautiful interior wall covering that gives a Gatlinburg cabin feel! We can install this on walls and ceiling.

OSB Inside Lining
$4/ square foot of covered surface
This is our less expensive inside wall covering. If you don't want studs and insulation showing inside, this is a way to cover them that gives a hunting cabin feel.
About Our Company
My name is Steven Caudill. I've been in construction since I was in my teens installing shingles in Wisconsin in freezing weather! I moved to Alabama in my early 20s and completed a carpentry apprenticeship with Brice Building company and continued there for about 10 years. I started a home repair business which I enjoyed a lot. After several years of repairing, replacing and building anything and everything, I decided to specialize into building sheds in 2022. Now in our 4th year, I am more excited than ever to help you get your perfect shed. As a family business you may get to meet some of my young helpers from time to time. I look forward to meeting you and helping you create your extra space!
