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

Year-round moving is feasible due to the mild climate, with the dry summer and fall months being the most popular.

Backhaul luck

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

Number of bids

Comparing three or more bids on the same job is the most reliable way to bring the price down.
