"While the crew did excellent work, the major let down was Dan between the way the job was quoted and the way he builled made sure the estimate came out to the higher end of the quote, also he had a habit of telling his crew to do things without consulting the customer and these were things that added to cost. Also I accidentally overpaid him and are still waiting for the refund."

"Harvey and his team were professional and courteous. My wife and I were very satisfied with the completed work on the interior. We had originally planned on doing the exterior of the house first but had to change our plans. Harvey was accommodating and offered suggestions. Some I took, some I didn't. We are already discussing the projects for this coming summer. He doesn't know it but I have a couple new ideas I may implement. I have no doubt that they will do as an outstanding job on the exterior as they did inside. It looks like a new home."

Why Choose New England Outdoor? At New England Outdoor Sheds & Gazebos we take pride in knowing that all of our buildings are constructed to last a lifetime. We use only the highest grade materials and the strongest building methods to construct all our products and confidently stand behind our lifetime warranty. At New England Outdoor we strive to differentiate ourselves by offering exceptional service and support to all our customers. Your satisfaction is our top priority. History In the mid 1960’s Joe Bartolotta Sr. and his son Joe Bartolotta Jr. began designing and manufacturing quality outdoor wood products in the backyard of their home. Items such as picnic tables, gliders, swing sets and doghouses were displayed at outdoor locations, and stored in the sheds they had built for securing the products at night. Soon after, customers began inquiring about purchasing the storage sheds rather than the outdoor furniture. Although this was not the future the Bartolotta family intended, it was the beginning of our storage shed manufacturing business. Current Day New England Outdoor Over 45 years, and tens of thousands of sheds later, New England Outdoor Sheds & Gazebos is New England’s premier shed builder. Our strong construction and carpentry background has given us the ability to keep up with the constantly changing and advancing building methods and products used in today’s construction. While we have moved forward with these advances and stayed ahead of the competition, our commitment to our valued customers has remained in the foreground. Today, the third generation of the Bartolotta family carries on this tradition of unsurpassed workmanship. Joe Jr. and his two sons Jonathan and Ryan manage the day to day operations for this family owned business, New England Outdoor Sheds and Gazebos.

"Ordering my shed was very easy and everything was explained well. The timeline of delivery and installation was right on schedule with what I was initially told. Day of delivery started early and completion was done in just a couple of hours."

Storm Shelters questions, answered by experts

To qualify as a guest house, a structure needs to meet your local building code requirements. In some locations, a guest house must be a separate residence from the primary home. In other locations, you may be able to connect the two buildings and still call the second building a guest house. However, a structure doesn’t often need a minimum size to qualify as a guest house.

The cheapest way to build a storm shelter is by using an above-ground, DIY approach. Building a simple, small above-ground storm shelter using concrete or steel materials can be more cost-effective than purchasing pre-made shelters or constructing elaborate structures. However, it's crucial to ensure that the shelter meets safety standards and is capable of protecting against severe weather events. Always consult local building codes and regulations and consider hiring a storm shelter builder near you to ensure the shelter's structural integrity and effectiveness.

You can customize your storm shelter to any depth, but you’ll want to pay special attention to the water table on your property. Avoid installing an in-ground storm shelter less than 10 feet from the mean sea level, as this can lead to leaks. Get in touch with a storm shelter builder for a professional recommendation on how deep yours should be. 

Average barndominiums last between 50 and 150 years depending on the materials they are made from, how well they are maintained, and the environment they are built in. Barndominiums are very durable and have a much longer lifespan than traditional wood homes. With proper care and maintenance, well-built barndominium homes can last generations. 

Technically, there isn't a difference between safe rooms and storm shelters. Both are designed to protect you from storms and extreme weather events. People often use “safe room” when discussing a shelter inside a building and storm shelter when talking about a detached unit. 

Additionally, a safe room is understood to have more functions than a storm shelter. You may seek shelter in a safe room when you believe an intruder is in the home or when under another type of threat.
