Custom Sheds Built in Calvert St. Mary's & Charles County

Storage sheds, workshops, and she-sheds framed and built right in your backyard by an experienced, family-owned crew. No flimsy kit, no cookie-cutter box. You get a shed sized for your stuff, built on a solid base, and finished to match your house, with a free written estimate before we start.

Sheds built on site and built to last

Most sheds you see around Southern Maryland came off a lot or out of a box. Ours are stick-built on your property by the same carpenters who frame additions and porches, which means real framing, sheathing, and roofing that stand up to our wind, humidity, and wet winters. Gray & Sons Contracting handles the whole job from the foundation to the last piece of trim, then cleans up and hauls off the scrap.

Storage sheds

The classic. A dry, secure place for the mower, bikes, kayaks, holiday decorations, and everything that's crowding the house. We size it to what you actually need to store, add double doors or a ramp for equipment, and build in shelving so it stays organized.

Workshops and she-sheds

When you want a space to work in, not just store things in, we build larger sheds with windows for natural light, insulation, finished walls, and power for tools, lights, and a heater. A backyard office, hobby room, or she-shed is one of the best ways to add usable space without an addition.

Pool sheds and garden sheds

A pool shed keeps chemicals and equipment out of sight and close to the water. A garden shed with a potting bench, window boxes, and a lean-to for tools makes the yard work easier. Either one can be finished to match the house so it looks like it belongs there.

Foundations that keep it level

A shed is only as good as what it sits on. Smaller sheds go on a compacted gravel pad with pressure-treated skids for drainage. Larger sheds and workshops get a poured concrete slab or piers. A level, well-drained base keeps the doors closing right and the floor from rotting.

Siding Roofing and Doors

We can match your home's vinyl or wood siding and shingles, or go with board and batten, LP SmartSide, and a metal roof for a farmhouse look. Add windows, a transom, a loft for extra storage, a ramp, and the door style you want.

Power to the shed

Electrical is done in-house with permits pulled, so we can run power for outlets, lights, and a dedicated circuit for a workshop as part of the same project. No juggling a separate electrician.

Shed cost in Southern Maryland

Most custom-built backyard sheds run about $4,000 to $15,000 installed. A basic 8x10 storage shed on a gravel pad sits at the low end. A 12x16 or 12x20 shed with a concrete slab, windows, a loft, and power lands toward the top. Size, foundation, siding and roofing, doors and windows, and any electrical are what move the number. We look at your yard for free and put an exact price in writing, with no surprise add-ons later.

Permits and placement

Larger sheds and any shed with electrical usually need a permit in Calvert, St. Mary's, and Charles County, and setback rules decide how close a shed can sit to your property line. HOAs often have their own rules about size, color, and location. We help you figure out what applies to your lot and pick a spot with good drainage and easy access before we build.

What kind of foundation does a shed need?
It depends on the size and the ground. Smaller sheds do well on a compacted gravel pad with pressure-treated skids. Larger sheds and workshops usually get a poured concrete slab or piers. A level, well-drained base is what keeps the doors closing right and the floor from rotting.
