Five quick inputs for your estimate
Measure the sidewalk length the shed must cover. A typical Manhattan lot is 20–25 ft; corner buildings need both frontages.
Taller buildings require heavier-duty shed ratings, which raises cost.
Facade repair sheds often run 3–12 months. Long rentals get reduced rates — flagged automatically.
We install 24/7 across all five boroughs.
