Adding on to your home doesn’t have to mean putting a room (or rooms) out of commission for a few weeks or months. In fact, you can have an entirely new space without touching any part of your current home. Prefabricated sheds are a relatively easy way to add an office, fitness studio, guest house—the list goes on—to your property. Best of all, they can be fabricated off-site and delivered to you, and they're often small enough so you won’t need a permit to install one on your property.
You don’t have to break the bank in order to get a prefabricated shed. The prices start from just $5K, depending on the features you’re looking for and the size of the place. For smaller units that are between 50 and 80 square feet, you’ll be on the lower end of the pricing spectrum. But if you’re willing to pay more, you can get a host of features that mimic the look and feel of a full-sized home including a side deck, full insulation, and picture windows. This is a great option for guest homes that could even be turned into an Airbnb.
