"So glad you are happy with your pavilion. There have been many comments on how lovely the blue brackets are."
We called Historic Shed and the owner at first said they no longer would do screens. But after some coaxing and knowing it was a decent size order they agreed. We asked them to paint the wood frames in the same color as another accent on the house.
They showed up to measure and quote at the scheduled time and built more than 20 beautiful full window size wood framed screens, and flawlessly installed them around the home on 2 stories. All was done on time with no cost overrun.
The quality of craftsmanship is excellent. In another year or two I may decide to replace a garage door or the entire small garage in the same craftsman style. If I go that route I would definitely ask Historic Shed if they can do the job.
The house looks beautiful and the windows are now accented perfectly.
I decided that I needed something nicer, so I started pricing pre-built sheds. They were expensive, not historic & UGLY. My house is beatifully restored, my garden lush & lovelyl, & I did not want some unattractive lump sitting in it.
I had some plans drawn for a shed & got some prices for all the trades I would need- capenter, roofer, painter- for a tiny shed! It all added up to too much plus, I had just completed the restoration of a 1907 Victorian. I needed a rest.
I called Historic Shed & was happily surprised at the price they quoted for everything! Because of their great reputation, I even let them pick the hardware & design the doors. I never let anybody choose for me but I was tired of making choices. I was thrilled with the doors & the wonderful hinges they brought. The best part was that it was installed in just over a day. I am sure that it would have been a month long project with all the trade co-ordinating that would have had to have been done to built it.
I now have a shed that is the mini-me version of my beautiful bungalow. It holds everything I need & it is clean & fresh. I am looking forward to another season of gardening so I can visit it!
