Shed installation?

My DH and I purchased a 7'x10' Rubbermaid shed from Home Depot, and would like to hire someone to install it. The ground isn't completely level where the shed is going, which is why he can't install it himself. Any ideas on who does this sort of thing?

You can get flat stepping stones from HD or Lowes and level out the ground. DH did this for our shed.

or you can get someone to pour cement as the floor as another option

Re: Shed installation?

we just got a cement slab installed so that we had a level surface. If your placing it on grass it can sink over time and you dont want that.

my DH would be all over that he loves installing sheds!

Re: Shed installation?

if you pour concrete you are then making it a permanent fixture and if your neighbor or the town/village finds out you will be taxed on it more so then a general shed. If you just do block they can not say anything unless you have rules about location.

I plan on our vaca going down to the village and finding out because i know our neighbors would COMPLAIN big time if we put anything up.

We put down a gravel base to level, then installed it ourselves. I believe you can get someone right from Home Depot. We got someone from there to install our storm door.

Home Depot won't install it, we already asked.

Any ideas on who we can get to do the project (without pouring a slab). We have a baby coming in four weeks and my DH doesn't have the time to get in done by then. I don't have a clue on who we would call to get it done.
