Most frequent questions and answers

What sets Dutch Barn Builders apart from the competition?


A quick elevator pitch would go something like this; “Dutch Barn Builders” stands apart from competition because we deliver with the service of “small” with the solid warranty of “large”. Dutch Barn Builders is local.

Most other big name brands in the shed industry are out of state corporate companies who hire local contractors, who have no care for quality, no care for customer service, and who have no intention to be here for the long haul. In fact we see them from time to time, set up dealerships for a couple of months and suddenly they are gone. Dutch Barn Builders has chosen rather to build it’s brand in a solid way, one town at a time.

Dutch Barn Builders is building slowly, steadily, with the intent of long term presence. Big enough to handle whatever your storage needs may be but not too big to care.

How is rent-to-own different from financing?


When you get a rent-to-own (we will refer to RTO from here on) building, versus a financed one, the customer has no obligation to continue making the payments if he/she gets in a financial bind later on. So if you get an RTO building from Dutch Barn and 6 months later you realize you are over leveraged, you can simply call in and have your building picked up and your payments stop. If you quit at anytime this does NOT hurt your credit (financing DOES NOT work this way) and if you call in to cancel your rental and later you need another building you can order another one and for being upfront on your first one you will not even hurt your credit/relationship with Dutch Barn Builders.

Do I need a permit?


Most times yes and most counties require the home owner to get their own permit. Dutch Barn Builders will gladly provide customer with the building plans that the permitting office may require in order to issue a building permit. Each permit office has different requirements and we will do our best to assist you.

How long does it take to get a shed?


This may vary depending on the time of the year but on average 3-5 week lead time is to be expected.
