"The folks at East Coast Shed were great! From the quoting process through delivery their team was hyper focused on delivering a quality shed that met our needs. Extra bonus points for not only walking through all the options, but also matching the materials of the siding and shingles to our new home. Upon delivery the two gentlemen ensured the base was located in the right spot and then went to town. In less than half a day the shed was up and they were walking me through a the final inspection. Would recommend East Coast Shed to anyone looking for a quality shed." Walter C., Berkley, MA "We were not disappointed with our choice of going with East Coast Sheds. From the consultation / ordering process with Tom to the building process with the onsite crew, to the company that came to install the garage door. From start to finish everyone was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and answered every single question that we had. Tom did not try to up-sell add-ons but did let me know what was available for the style shed and let us make our own decision. After the shed was built the onsite crew walked us through every bit of detail on the shed. They did not leave any debris behind, we could not tell that they were here at all. The garage door company came the next day and installed the door and was very professional and quick and went over maintenance needed. I would recommend them to anyone in need of a shed, man-cave or she-shed." Tom J., Somerset, MA "East Coast Shed did an amazing job installing our new shed! We love how well they matched it to our house and how smooth the whole process was! Couldn’t recommend more - Great work!" Ryan & Elena B., Rochester, MA "The experience of purchasing a shed from East Coast Shed was seamless and enjoyable. Everyone was very professional and responsive to questions. We love our beautiful 12' x 12' custom shed which was installed perfectly by them. I wish purchases were this seamless with other businesses. When looking for a shed do not look elsewhere if you want one that is beautifully built. Highly recommend East Coast Shed!" Erik D., Warren, RI
