Foundation and blocking

Re-leveling on new blocks or a gravel pad is usually included; a new concrete pad is not.

Disassembly

Sheds wider than the legal limit may need the roof removed or be moved in sections, which adds labor.

Scheduling

Spring (March-May) and fall (September-November) offer the most pleasant weather, avoiding summer heat and potential spring storms.

Backhaul luck

Haulers already running near Allen bid lower to fill empty miles — posting early exposes your job to more of them.
