Build A 10x12 Modern Shed DIY Start to Finish for Around $11,000 

I got yelled at by drywall guys for doing what you did by attaching the insulation paper tabs to the exposed face of the 2x4s because when they use adhesive glue for the drywall, it's best to have it on the exposed 2x4 wood face so the glue can stick to the wood. I now attach the paper insulation paper tabs to the inside edge of 2x4. Overall good detailed video. Thanks.

Thank you for going into detail on the roof, most videos are vague. I feel like I can do this now.

Finally someone who builds a shed and raises their wood up off the concrete. Final build looks great.

People scoffing at the price are smoking crack. I just built a 10x10 and did it up real nice, very similar to what you did, and spent $6,700 on materials. If I were going to build something like this for a customer, I would charge at a minimum $13,400. Great video, pal. Keep them coming!

This is like deja vu for me. I build a 8x12 office a year and a half ago. Very similar. Black metal siding and ceder tongue and groove on outside high wall. Great job here

Thank you so much for showing us what you do. That isn’t a lot for the shed because your labor is included. Build a lot diy and the reason people hire is due to the time saved. Thanks for your time.

16" on center floor joists and you could have avoided adding blocking all together. The time saved cutting insulation and installing blocking would have paid for the extra joists. Also, a chalk lines go a long way toward reducing marks.

I see a lot of comments about cost but this has windows, huge doors, the cedar shingles and climate control so it seems reasonable with that in mind though I am sure it could have been done for a lot less without those items. It would be interesting to see the breakdown of costs to see what it would cost just in lumber and the basics. It looks great and is obviously not just a storage shed! I was thinking of replacing my current shed (same size) that is old and falling apart and really like this design that would be great in my space.

a trick I learned to putting shingles on was to just start from the opposite side of the previous row of shingles you just did, the gap will never line up that way either, saves a little time, looks good!

10x12 for $11K that's a lot!!! looks good but too much $$$

Outstanding job! The price is fair. I don’t think most people realize how much work this is when condescend into a 60 minute video. Looks quite exceptional!

And that's how you build a $65K shed, I mean mini house. It looks awesome.

Awesome tips for window installations!

OK I saw a lot of whining about the price, but this is not a Shed in any way shape or form. This is a complete house just smaller. Full floor full insulation drywall air conditioning on and on. It’s worth the price.

Bloopers at the end are awesome.

Loved watching this. Really like most of your content.

It might sound expensive for some but. For all the work and material and weeks of work is decent cost😊

great job in instructing of this project. thank you

Must be near the Asheville area, Summit Builders gives it away. 😊

Looks great, though I'm not sure I'd call that a shed!

It looks fantastic & I learned a lot from this video and funny end ;) Melly Mell's is going to create a garden house with isolated windows and wood pallets that I collect all for free. This project is waiting to be transformed in a happy & joyful garden house v.s. lounge. I looked up many recording.., this one Is perfect for me to understand how to start & finish it all... Thank you :)

Jack/Trimmer = supports header load to the bottom seal King = runs along side the Jack/Timmer studs Cripples = supports the header or window seal Window Seal Header This is the correct verbiage for next time.

People complaining it’s too expensive probably didn’t bother to watch the video. It’s more like a tiny home than a shed.

Not bad! Well explained i! Simple Step by Step!! Got it! Ya need a more simple Site NAME! Cannot memorize this one you have!! Good video coverage!! ...⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fantastic job! Great video!

Did very good learned alot

Very good job...you work like gentleman

Crazy high price. I built a 20’ x 20’ with footings, cement floor, doors windows and cement siding for 7,000.00 myself

Thank you 🙏

Great content. I’m building a 32 x16 studio and using much of you videos as a guide. I was curious why you dont use a California corner stud. Was this just because the small size of the building?

Thank you so much for this video the best.❤

Good job I was impressed

Some of the comments obviously are people that don't have a business the price is the cost of labor plus materials

That aint no shed! Hell, I wouldn't mind living in that thing.......

Great video!

Timber has never been higher than right now in the UK and I could build a shed twice that size for half the cost WITH all those fancy addons. Either you or your customer got ripped off!

I wondered what the heat/cooling system set you back including all the wiring.

Very Thorough

Great job! loved it!

Would love to have one built in Los Angeles. Not gonna happen for $11k here though

Good job 👍

8:33 the cake

Good job.

to level the base frame and to the finish, will the finished structure remain on those bricks that you used to level?

Good work

Looks good! Whats the slope on that roof? No rain screen required?

You did a quality job :)

Every contactor on youtube installs the drip edge incorrectly. The angled bottom of the drip edge should be held 1/8" away from the facia so that water can drip off of the edge instead of running down the facia.

Great craftsman shit and great explanations 🎉

Nice video

$11000, and that doesnt even have a concrete base. Wow. Wood is expensive.

Good job ! Is the flooring same as ceiling ? If so, isn't the flooring too soft ?

I would advise you google framing span charts. 2x6 for your floor deck system is inadequate. 2x8 and use a dbl band joist on all the perimeter followed by 2x8 floor joists 16" o.c. this floor deck will sag using 2" centers. You're installing the roof sheathing incorrectly. You stagger your seams. It cost $11,000 because you didnt use any Pneumatic Framing nailers. You installed your starter shingle upside-down. Nothing will keep the front bottom course from lifting due to high winds. You need to go back and work on an actually framing crew and read or watch alot more videos on how to actually frame a wood frame building

Should've used green 2/4s top against the floor

Hey bud great work and 11k isn’t bad

At 43:10 the doors don't line up, it looks so bad. Something out of square.

This might be a stupid question but... The wall framing does not look like it is treated wood, is that normal for an outside building?

I'll build you a city of these for 11k. Holy cow

Great job Seth! Where are you based out of to do builds like this?

Was a building permit required in your area? If yes, did the inspector come by?

What's the purpose of venting the soffit in this shed when the ceiling insulation is blocking the airflow. Lol

Can you tell me what the tax implications might be if the shed were of a particular width? I believe there are no taxes below a certain width.

The BIGGEST “Blooper”? Was the price-point. What did you use? 24 karat gold plated nails or screws?.

11k? Why make it when you can buy 10x12 shed for that money. Plastic on base will trap the water introduce mold.

What state are you located?

He explained why it was expensive in one of the top or first comments. Door alone was $1200. Plus depending on how wood fluctuates. It could be less or more but most likely less unless you plan on getting $1200 doors. Lol

I just built a 8x7 chicken coop, for a few hundred dollars, which looks like your building (lol). 1. I made my own door. 2. no floor. 3. The roof is plywood, and recycled tin. paint, is cheaper, since barn red paint is cheaper. My building looks excellent, as does yours. But the price difference is shocking. My plywood sheathing, is not osb, so, it is the exterior of the chicken coop (painted of course). The roof extends 1' in every side. I also used 1x3 for trim, and some 1x4. etc.. The windows are hardware cloth, and not functional windows. Sits on pressure treated 2x4's.

Last course of shingles that was finished with a roll of aluminum looks like garbage. Everything looks good

great work. lots of details.

People on here saying to much. You guys quoting just a regular shed..

Is it necessary to use osb then cement board if the cement board is gonna keep water out ?

So you just used hardiebacker as siding and painted over it? Am i seeing that correctly?

Nice job ….I am building a 8x12 on 8 “ concrete footings ,osb t/g ,1 windows and a HDepot 500 doll door …so far 2500 dolls spent….more flat than yours so I will get torched rubber roof and cover the sides …all together will spend 6000 Canadian dollars .

I'm trying to figure how he paid so much. This is not mathing. Is this in Canada?

A 10x12 shed for $11,000??? Is it made of solid gold?

What are those black panels under insulation visible inside 35:50?

Is the building anchored to the concrete pad?

Man materials must be expensive where you live... built a 2 story 12x20shed for not even $10k in 2022. 8ft first floor ceiling, 7ft second story ceiling with an 8/12 roof, 2x6 framing, R-19 insulation walls, hardyboard siding, architectural shingles, pegboard walls on the first floor with wood work benches, second floor has outdoor entrance with 32x78" door, 6 windows, upstairs is drywalled, vinyl flooring and basically the kids outdoor playroom. Is the $11k what you charged the client maybe? 😅

No stagger on any sheathing?

That's $140 per square foot in Canada. There is something wrong here. That's a high-end custom home price. That's a really nice build but look at the framing - it is basic (and 2x4). How did this cost north of $40 per sq ft ($5,000) ? Unless you paid yourselves $250 per hour labour.... then yup, makes sense.

Wait...11k for just materials? I know theres some premium mats going into it...11k for the whole billed bill seems fair. If just mats...seems like a lot.

Holly Shiitt man !! are you build divorce Shed !! ha ha ha so massive !! and elegant

$92/ft2 for materials only is crazy

$11,000 for a 10 x 12. Over inflated fancy smancy shed. I built a 12x16 for less than $2,200. I also but a door and a normal sized window.

$11k for a 10x12??? That's outrageous. I had a professional company build me a beautiful 10x12 shed and selected all the upgrades lofts windows premium treated lumber etc ran electric to it and cost me around $4800! If I built myself probably would have cost half that

Which state are you in? City?

11k wtf!

Hello i would like for you to build me build me something identical, how do we get in contact with you?

I'm building a 20x30 for half that cost. Maybe it's your location. Either way it's still much cheaper than the price Lowes sells their premade ones for.

I just built a 10x12 just like that for under 1k, but no interior ceilings and walls. Its just for storage.

11k !!! Where did you get your materials from? I just built a 16 x 24 for less than 5500$

who's going to live there?

For 11k???? That should be 2k tops

I just built. 10x12 tiny home for $2600

Please tell me this is labor plus retail market on materials?! I have a 10' x 15' going up for under 2k, including doors, windows and a 15 tons of gravel.

Dude, I love your video. It's really awesome. But when the camera is on you, there's too much motion. To the point of nausea. I want to keep on watching so.please figure it out. Thank you.

12k for 24 on center joist shed😅

this really cost 11 grand to build?

11k bout shit myself 😂😢😢😢

Somebody over paid 🤣
