Sheds, Workshops & Outdoor Structures Built for Montana
Missoula County properties need outdoor storage that can handle 4+ feet of snow, subzero wind chill, and spring runoff. Tom builds storage sheds, detached workshops, pergolas, gazebos, and carports engineered for local conditions — proper footings, treated lumber, and roof pitches designed to shed snow.
Most shed and small structure builds take 1–2 weeks. Larger workshops and detached garages run 3–5 weeks. Tom handles the full build: site prep, concrete or post footings, framing, roofing, siding, doors, and interior finishing if needed. Permits for structures over 200 square feet are handled as part of the project.
