Studio Shed

Let me begin by saying I did a lot of research before deciding to go with studio-​shed for this project, and even though the product was a bit more expensive than the other options I found, I was won over by apparent quality of the design. Boy was I wrong! I write this to help people avoid the expensive mistake we made.
Problems began with delivery. Studio-​shed had promised they could delivery to our house. We made preparation accordingly only to find out a few days before delivery that they had changed their delivery system and that we would need to rent a vehicle to meet a semi trailer somewhere along I-​5, which forced us to scramble and pay more to get the appropriate truck to transfer the materials to my house.
Once we began building the problems really started to pile up. As we unpacked the delivery we realized that pieces were missing. We spoke with studio-​shed and they promised to get us those pieces within the week. That didn’t happen. Fortunately, these parts were not needed until later in the building process so we were able to begin building. In the process of building we started to see some odd inconsistencies in the CAD drawings. Now, to be clear, we did NOT build this on our own. We had a licensed contractor with extensive experience with both CAD drawings and construction helping us, and even he could not figure out these CAD drawings.
It turned out that he couldn’t figure them out because they were wrong. There were several major errors in the CAD drawings that Studio-​Shed sent us. These errors cost us both time and money to fix. Throughout this process Studio-​shed was difficult to work with, originally dismissing the errors as minor and then begrudgingly admitting they were significant. Unfortunately, these problems have turned out to be minor in comparison to what has recently emerged.
You see, one of the reasons we went with studio shed was because we loved the look of the outer design, with the large rectangles and exposed metal. What we didn’t realize and Studio-​shed doesn’t want you to know is that if it rains where you live water will get under those tiles, eventually breeding mold. This is why every type of house siding has overlap: to keep water from infiltrating and breeding mold.
We have communicated these problems to Studio-​shed and they originally seemed willing to work with us, but about 5 months ago they stopped responding to our emails. It is amazing to us that a company with their reputation would actually «ghost» a client, but that is exactly what has happened.
Unfortunately, I cannot recommend highly enough that you stay away from Studio-​shed. I hope this review helps others avoid the mistake we made.

They were a complete failure. Very poor communication. I had to write their corporate headquarters once to find if they were still in business. They took a long, long time to slog thru the paper work. Getting information from them was like pulling teeth. Even before construction began they were a failure. After the construction began it became worse.
Nice website, good idea, very poor execution. At the end the regional contact said he’d probably be stopping by to address probables with the president of the company. That never happened. No explanation. Just silence. The sound of regret.
