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

Moves are best scheduled from late spring to early fall to avoid harsh winter snow and the spring flood/mud season.
