Great content, exactly what I was looking for. Absolutely helpful. Much appreciated. Thank you for sharing your first hand, real, personal experience, subbing for tshed.

I appreciate all that info Sir! As a journeymen Carpenter, I've been playing with the idea of shed building so I'm trying to get all the facts together before jumping into it. I'm hoping you have a video of one of your builds somewhere around here. Thanks once again on sharing your experience! 👊💥

Hell ya thanks man. I really appreciate it!! I'm going to show this to my gf and we will base our decision of working with tuff shed pretty much off this video and the guy I talked to that works for tuff shed.

Thanks buddy for the insight it was hard to find good info like this 👍

Good job, thanks for sharing the video!

Great explenation buddy, thank you so much!

We can do it together 😅 I came up through the trades. Journeyed out of local 225. Was a site superintendent for 5yrs. Now I started my LLC but business is slow, this is a opportunity/ option till I gain attraction

Thanks for the break down

I was a supervisor for Tuff Shed for a few years and now I’m switching over to the installer side. I’m excited to get going.

Thanks bro helped me out alot!

Chris Silverman, You are the person I need to ask some questions about. I am interested in a Tuff Shed but my property has a standing cedar fence that I need it "Very close to" (Withing 8-12 Inches) and most places are saying they need 18 inches or two feet of working space? My cedar fence is taller than a grown man on just this one side of where I want the shed to be placed. One question is the wall next to the fence will have no doors or windows in it (Only a wall) Can the builders raise this wall from inside the shed? I have a concrete driveway that I want this shed build on top of, like a long utility garage style, can you answer me if they can work around not having two feet, and just raise that one wall from the inside of the project? Thank you

Question of curiosity, what size nail guns are you using for tuff shed?

Thanks for the video! I'm thinking to start working for them, I have a 3 guys crew including myself but I don't know if they allow build more than one a day. Greetings from Texas!

This is just another 'buy yourself a job' deal. You'll never make great money, and someone else controls your life. But it's a great way to learn the business and then go off with your own shad business. Or use it as an opportunity to get other types of maintenance or remodeling work from the shed clients.

🤨… Accept you’re a third party contractor, determine when, how many, & what builds you want to be slated for. There’s MANY of VERY well off GCs & Construction business owners that use Tuff Shed to supplement income in the off season and to keep their guys (or themselves) working during gaps between regular work. They don’t invest anything they don’t already have that would otherwise just be sitting in trucks, driveways and toolboxes….

Aw man I hate it’s been difficult to get in contact. I onboarded in 2021 by contacting my local branch where I knew they pre-fab the builds. It could be helpful to show up in person.

20nyears as a carpenter.. thats includes starting out as a green horn... i went up through the ranks the old fashioned way.. OTJ training. i was subing from a sub after 2 years. sheeting roofs. Realizing how much more a man can make by doing piece work.. NOW- at an old age man.. i hate employees and ll the admin BS.. this video simplifies the income opportunity. in conclusion> this is part of my research on how to/ where to head as a piece worker. this seems like some respectable income. working by the hour is STILL SLAVE LABOR. ALTHOUGH--- i hope that Tuff Shed doesn't allow for saturation. ( as far as too many contractors) otherwise the only real winner ends up being Tuff shed.. and the carpenters end up fighting over scraps and the prices fall.. basic econ 101

And by the time he pays 17% self-employment tax and pays his help and pays the crazy insurance they expect ,, paying your helpers and paying for wear and tear on your truck and trailer, and your tool maintenance, gas for your truck driving all over Indiana. Tuff shed is a prefab shed that has lots of difficulty in getting the right dimensions correct.

Having a registered business is a requirement for subcontracting with Tuff Shed. LLC is the easiest way to meet that requirement.

If they don't pay you for delivery that's an absolute RIP off. You should get a minimum of $100 for a delivery like that, I know its probably not the industry standard to pay installers for delivery but that's just because people will do it, and they have been getting away with it forever. You are basically an employee forced to use your truck and trailer and forced to operate as a contractor so they avoid all liability, insurance, and payroll taxes.
