As the founder of ZShed, a shed construction company based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, I’m proud to offer quality storage solutions to backyard spaces across our beautiful city. ZShed has met local homeowners’ needs through simple yet reliable shed designs, favoring durability and functionality above all. It brings me joy to improve my neighbors’ properties while staying true to the core values upon which I built my business.
Before launching ZShed, I noticed a gaping hole in Santa Fe’s market for shed builders capable of delivering structures of lasting quality without overcomplicating the process. Contracted crews and prefab kits couldn’t guarantee sturdiness. Meanwhile, the few custom shops in town commanded staggering price tags, placing their services financially out of reach for ordinary people like my family and me.
I longed for a contractor who could provide straightforward backyard sheds to Santa Fe homeowners on a reasonable budget, so I drew from my years of carpentry experience to make ZShed a reality. With commitment to honorable business practices and an unwavering dedication to customer satisfaction, my small operation soon blossomed into one of the most reputable shed companies near Santa Fe.

Specializing in A-Frame and Lean-To Models
Rather than overwhelm customers with options to customize sheds, a practice I knew from experience could delay projects and heighten the margin of error, I focused on perfecting just two versatile designs: the classic A-frame shed and the practical lean-to shed. By tailoring these models to clients’ precise spatial needs during on-site consultations while limiting other variables, ZShed now constructs some 150 quality storage sheds throughout the greater Santa Fe region each year.
All our backyard sheds incorporate the most durable, long-lasting materials the local market offers. The A-frame’s slanted roof design specifically accommodates Santa Fe’s snowy winters, enabling precipitation to slide right off instead of accumulating overhead. Sturdy floors prevent flooding damage during summer monsoon season.
Delivering Exceptional Value with Two Purchase Options
Rather than require large upfront payments as most shed companies in Santa Fe do, ZShed empowers clients to opt for either full purchase or a rent-to-own plan. Since no credit checks or financing paperwork is necessary, the rent-to-own option provides stress-free access to ZShed’s products.
ZShed offers everything for 6X6 sheds up to 12X16, with pricing beginning around $1,600. For context, constructing comparable sheds with DIY kits or ordering prefab ones could easily exceed $2500 when factoring materials, delivery, site preparation and labor.
Assembling Sheds On-Site for Seamless Installation
Because backyard accessibility often impedes homeowners’ ability to handle delivery and assembly themselves, ZShed distinguishes itself from most storage shed contractors in Santa Fe by constructing each unit entirely on clients’ properties once. This on-site building method also minimizes disturbance to surrounding landscaping. We even arrange to pour concrete slabs for sheds when extra stabilization is recommended.
True to ZShed’s core value of simplicity, on-site assembly allows clients the convenience of a turnkey shed installation without coordinating logistics or assuming liability for structural issues stemming from poor DIY assembly. In an average of two to three weeks, a bare patch of dirt or grass transforms into a fully functioning storage haven or workspace ready for immediate use.
The ZShed Difference: Time-Tested Craftsmanship and Accountability
Each member of my crew, takes immense pride in creating storage spaces that not only meet homeowners’ present needs but also withstand northern New Mexico’s extreme climate shifts decade after decade. We exclusively employ seasoned carpenters and laborers so that the structural integrity of ZShed’s models far outpaces that of discount prefab sheds available through big-box chains. Treated lumber, durable exterior finishes and moisture-resistant seals guard against rapid deterioration.
I stand behind every shed we build by offering an ironclad three-year craftsmanship warranty – a show of good faith that I have yet to see matched by other backyard shed contractors serving Santa Fe in fact, to the date of writing this article not a single customer has even needed to request us to com back and fix a mistake we’ve made. Yet, ZShed does invite customers to provide feedback about their experience at any point, not just immediately following project completion. My entire team actively listens to suggestions on improving our processes in order to constantly evolve. Our close-knit relationship with the local community we serve motivates us to approach each job as if we were building a shed in our own backyards.
The Outlook for ZShed and Santa Fe Storage Solutions
As Santa Fe’s trusted leader for storage shed contractors, ZShed looks forward to continued responsible growth assisting homeowners. My crew and I have also expanded operations southward down the Rio Grande Valley to better serve shed installation demands in thriving hubs like Albuquerque or to the east in Las Vegas, NM. In doing so, we hope to welcome several more skilled tradespeople into the ZShed family.
But even while broadening the business’s footprint, our commitment to neighborhood-focused business practices remains steadfast. ZShed will always operate on a human scale, forging bonds between clients and our team across the shed-building process. When hometown Santa Feans desire extra storage or activity space to better enjoy their properties, they should feel empowered to choose quality and simplicity with confidence – two principles I’ve built ZShed upon that will never go out of style.
