What Does it Cost to Move a Shed?

One of the main reasons that people choose to transplant their shed is to save money. After all, if the shed still looks new and will provide years of reliable storage, there’s no reason to leave it behind. That’s why one of the most common questions we hear is, “What does it cost to move a shed?” The answer depends on several factors, such as the distance the shed needs to travel, the size, and other considerations like permitting. These are the average prices at the time of writing in spring 2022.

Here are some average costs of moving a shed to a new location or to a new space on the same site:

  1. Local Shed Onsite Move: Approximately $250 to $375 – This price covers moving a shed to a new location on your property for local customers. Moving a shed to another part of your lawn still requires a piece of specialized shed moving machinery. Of course, certain conditions may change the price as well.
  2. Local Shed Move: Approximately $400 to $500 – Essentially, this average shed moving price covers moving a shed to another location within Lancaster. Generally, this is so affordable because you aren’t far from our headquarters and because we don’t need to transport your shed a great distance.
  3. Onsite Move for Faraway Customers: Approximately $600 to $700 – If you’re more than 2 hours from our headquarters, our crews will be more than happy to transport your shed. However, the price will be a little higher as you are paying for the travel time required for our crew and equipment.
  4. Long Distance Shed Move: Approximately $4,000 – Even if you’re moving across the country, your shed can still come with you. We often help people who are moving out of state bring their sheds along. For example, if you want to move your shed from Lancaster to Florida (or any other faraway state!), it will cost in the ballpark of $4,000. Please keep in mind, though, that the more variables like distances there are, the more the average shed moving price will change. Of course compared to the price of building a new very large shed or garage, it is still a bargain.
  5. Extra-Wide Long Distance Shed Move: Approximately $6,000 to $7,500 – If you want to move an extra-large shed or small garage across the country, it requires additional steps. For example, special permitting and an escort vehicle are needed to make the trip safe and legal. Since this causes the cost of moving a shed to go up in price, this causes many homeowners to consider whether they would rather build something new on their new property.

While these ballpark prices are as accurate as possible at the time of writing in 2022, they are still estimates. The only way to get an exact answer to the question, “What does it cost to move a shed?” is to reach out to our team for an exact quote!

Exceeded my expectations in every way! I purchased a 12 x 16 Dutch Barn style shed from Dave Glick. From the first phone call to my visit at his location to the installation everything was absolutely perfect! My requirements were not typical and Dave went out of his way to provide assistance. Highly recommend! Actual photo of installed shed is shown.

One day I was looking for a shed for my yard But I refuse to go to Home Depot or Lowe’s for one because I just felt as if they were garbage. So one day I looked online did my homework and I found Glick woodworks Let me tell you I was reading all the reviews and not one was a negative so I decided to go with them. I drove 2 1/2 hours To go meet with these people, Dave and David and let me tell you everything they had on there was top-notch quality and everybody was busy and not one Radio to be played. Which I was sold on that alone because that means that they are focusing on their work. I came up with the design on how I wanted my shed and David delivered. I give these people 10 stars as I’m going to buy another shed from them. This is the only place to go if you want Top quality work. My shed is going to be here Way after the end of Time. 10’s Across-the-board. My shed is GORGEOUS cuz of them!!!!
