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.

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.

Beautiful sheds!

2. The Shed Floor

2x6 framing and 3/4 inch decking

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.

16 inch centers on all wall and roof framing

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

Custom painting up to 3 colors included for any shed

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.

30 year architectural shingles come standard on all sheds

6. The Shed Vents

Standard 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.

Doors

Extra 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.

Insulation

Wall and ceiling 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.

$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.

Wall finishing

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!
