Building Quality Sheds the Right Way

At Atlas Shed, we believe a great storage shed starts with quality materials, expert craftsmanship, and proven construction practices. Our mission is simple: to design and build durable, attractive custom storage sheds that provide long-term value for homeowners throughout the East Bay and surrounding communities.

With decades of residential construction experience, our team focuses on the building fundamentals that matter most.

Unlike many shed builders, we prioritize quality construction over unnecessary upgrades. By focusing on proven building methods and premium materials, we create custom storage sheds that are built to last.

What Makes Atlas Shed Different?

At Atlas Shed, every shed is built with features designed to maximize durability, strength, and long-term performance:

  • Solid Foundation Included – Every shed includes a properly prepared foundation as part of your quote, providing a stable base for years of dependable use.
  • Heavy-Duty Floors – We use CDX plywood flooring, which offers superior moisture resistance and durability compared to OSB flooring, helping prevent premature deterioration.
  • Residential-Style Wall Construction – Our walls are framed using 16-inch on-center studs, double top plates, and construction methods that follow International Residential Code (IRC) standards.
  • Engineered Roof Systems – We utilize engineered roof trusses that provide outstanding structural performance while maintaining cost efficiency.
  • Custom Design Options – Choose from a variety of sizes, windows, doors, paint colors, shelving, and additional features to create a shed tailored to your needs.
  • Fewer Restrictions – Unlike many shed companies, we offer greater design flexibility, allowing you to create a storage solution that fits your property and goals.
  • Clean, Attractive Designs – Our sheds are designed to be both practical and visually appealing, complementing your home and landscape.

Built for Long-Term Value

We believe the longevity of a shed depends on the quality of its design, materials, and construction. That's why every Atlas Shed is built according to industry best practices using hand-selected materials that meet our standards for durability and performance.

Whether you're looking for a backyard storage shed, garden shed, cabinet shed, or a fully customized storage solution, Atlas Shed is committed to delivering quality you can depend on. Our goal is to provide East Bay homeowners with custom storage sheds that are attractive, functional, and built to stand the test of time.

Look For This In a Quality Shed

  • A beefy, heavy duty floor that will not rot:
    • Use Heartwood Grade RedwoodThis will handle just about any load and will not rot.
    • Use CDX Plywood instead of OSB. OSB is prone to swelling around the edges if it ever gets wet.
  • Look for 16" O.C. (on center) studs
    • Required by most sidings.
    • Increases structure stability.
  • The shed should be well-designed, but not OVER-DESIGNED
    • Why add additional expense for no reason?
    • Un-insulated storage sheds don't need the added expense of dual pane windows. Single pane windows are fine.
    • Ridge beams are strong, but they cost more. Properly built trusses will more than do the job.
    • Elaborate trims and overhangs add expense and aren't typically needed on a storage shed.

Who is Atlas Shed?

TOM HECHMER

I'm an "old" construction specialist guy with more than thirty years of experience in the field. I've worn all the different hats possible in residential construction, from entry-level framer, to crew leader, to project manager. I've worked for residential builders, built estates as a private developer, first on the West Side of Los Angeles, and, since 2008, here in the Bay Area. In 2022, I teamed up with an "old" IT guy, Roy Green, to build high quality sheds. Roy's vision for high quality customer service and simple solid products neatly aligned with my own. With my background in Residential Construction, we made improvements to an already good looking shed, taking it to the next level. Roy had set up the tech, I agreed to deliver the product. Roy has moved on to other interests, I continue the reputation.

What Others Are Saying

Gerald R.

I highly recommend Tom Hechmer and his team at Atlas Shed. I ordered a 10’ x 4’ lean to roof style shed for our home in Alameda. During the initial inquiry and ordering process Tom was responsive and had answers to all my questions. After my initial order, Tom kept me apprised of the status of our build and worked with me to select paint colors and door hardware to match our home. Delivery was right on time and on-site assembly and fine-tuning install work took just two days. Tom made terrific suggestions for customizing our shed with shelving and a work bench that look great. The carpentry and detailing is top notch and the shed looks and functions exactly as I had hoped. Atlas even includes a heat reflector panel on the underside of the roof to help control heat levels within the shed. Tom is clearly a contractor who takes pride in his work. Great value for the money.

Joe A.

The Atlas team built two beautiful sheds for us within a week as promised and at the exact estimated price. I'd recommend Atlas to anyone shopping for a shed. I was very impressed with the personalized service. A+

Brian B.

Good experience. Only company to offer removal of old shed and build custom size shed. Paid more but I like the end result. Tom really cares about his product.

Terry G.

We needed a shed built underneath our deck. Unlike all of the other shed companies I called, Atlas Shed was willing to work within the awkward space. Tom and his team built a beautiful shed, maximizing the storage space and working within my budget. Atlas Shed may not be the cheapest option, but it is certainly the best! You get what you pay for with Atlas Shed.
