When Anne and Rich’s children moved out, their once bustling family home suddenly felt too spacious for just the two of them. Ready to embrace the next chapter of their lives as empty-nesters, they decided it was time to downsize. They were excited to settle into their beautiful new home, but as the moving trucks arrived, they quickly realized they had accumulated more memories—and belongings—than they had anticipated.
One day, as they explored their new neighborhood, they noticed nearly every neighbor had some form of outdoor storage. That’s when it hit them: an outdoor storage solution was exactly what they needed to make their downsized home feel just right.
Anne and Rich contacted our team to design their ideal storage solution—a 15x20ft Classic Cape Cod Shed. Reflecting on their decision, Rich shared, “I knew I wouldn’t say, ‘Oh, I wish I got a smaller shed!’ So we went big.” Fortunately, their property had ample space to accommodate the large shed they envisioned.
Our array of siding and roofing options allows for countless combinations. Rich says, “While we liked how one siding option looked, Tom told us how long it typically lasts and the required maintenance over its lifetime. His expert knowledge was fundamental in making a long-term choice that would suit our home’s needs for years to come.” Ultimately, they selected beautiful sage green vinyl siding paired with warm-toned roof shingles for the exterior, creating a classic look that artfully blends with their surroundings. The couple then opted for double doors and a convenient ramp to allow easy access and the ability to maneuver larger items such as tools and yard equipment. To maximize the shed’s interior space, they opted to include a loft area, perfect for storing smaller items, and light storage bins overhead.
Rich himself best describes the delivery experience. “The delivery and placement were long anticipated, and I got impatient, but the delivery technician was prepared for EVERYTHING. I knew we were in good hands when he retrieved his hammer to replace a shingle that had blown off on the drive over. Watching how he strategically replaced stones in the foundation to ensure the doors were level was a thing of beauty.” Our team members are truly experts in the field. They consider every detail along the way, from moving stones to ensure a level foundation to bringing extra shingles “just in case.” We aim to deliver not only an elite structure but also enduring confidence.
Since adding a Lancaster Barns shed to their property, Anne and Rich have enjoyed their new home with a sense of peace and order. What was once an overflow of storage has now been neatly organized, allowing their two-car garage to be used for its intended purpose—their cars!
