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

Mild Southern California weather allows for year-round shed moving, with minimal weather-related disruptions.

Backhaul luck

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