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

The prime moving season is from late spring to early fall to avoid the cold, snowy winters and spring thaw.

Backhaul luck
