Customer Reviews for Handy Home Products Professionally Installed Princeton 10 ft. x 10 ft. Outdoor Wood Storage Shed with Driftwood Grey Shingles (100 sq. ft.)

I read a lot of reviews before I bought this and it was exactly as the reviews described. The pieces did not exactly fit together so there were a few small holes, that I filled with caulk. There is a gap where the doors meet that would theoretically allow water to come in the front if water was spraying directly at the shed. However, I knew this before I bought it so I love the shed just how it is. When it rained, my stuff did not get wet and my installer was 10 out of 10. Would buy again!

I bought this shed with "professional" installation. The shed I received did not have any of the trim primed like all the photos show. I am extremely disappointed with this purchase and wouldn't recommend this product or recommend the professional installation. The professional installer they used was Backyard Products. Large gaps they tried to fill with caulk. Some walls nowhere near square. I should have just built it myself.

Installers showed up 2 days late. Red splatters of paint on outside. Inside boards are all broken and split. Nails all threw the roof. Screws that split wood only halfway screwed down. Whole missing spots with large gaps in wood. No options for fixing only a return.

Doors don’t close 2’ gap where rain can enter. Floors cut improperly. Large Crack in the Roof all the way through to the inside. No Caulking I was told to do it myself. Installer unprofessional. Not what I expected for the price I paid. Numerous Photos could only display 1 of them. This already VOIDS my Warranty. Unacceptable

Home Depot needs to have one of these on display so that the customer can see the poor quality of this shed. They make it look great in the pictures but, it’s from what you see here. Not only do I think it’s of very poor quality but, the installer for Princeton told me directly that he “feels so bad about installing these for customers because they are garbage.” His exact words…after it was installed of course. I’ll go this weekend and spend about $400 more to make it half descent. 👎👎👎

I ordered my shed on a Sunday night and it was installed two days later. I wasn’t expecting it until two months later as stated by the website. The installer called the morning of, then came and worked nonstop until the shed was complete. He started st 830 and was pulling out my drive by 1245. He did a great job. He told me where to caulk and to make sure I painted it.

Pros: I like the style and appearance of the shed. Door hinges seem very strong. Roof seems very solid. Cons: Images included Ordered a gray shed with Driftwood shingles (gray). Brown shingles installed. Lock installed incorrectly (screws exposed). 10 to 20 nails missed studs. One stud had zero nails in it. Gaps in corners. Installer left without telling me he was done. No walkthrough or viewing of finished product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very well constructed. Installers were very professional!

Paid to have shed built the shed is not square, roof sags in the middle, left side of roof is way off and looks terrible, and gaps in rafters if your not building yourself try to hire your own builder.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a shed 3 years ago and I liked it so much I bought a second one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shed fit our needs and although our initial order was cancelled (never got an answer as to why) when the shed did get to the store we didn't have any problems. Keep in mind there are a lot of extras to purchase; floor, paint, shingles etc. There are more expensive kits that contain more items.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this shed last year And couldn't be happier with it it was everything I thought and more installation was fantastic the guy showed up when he said and finished in one day

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good shed for the price. I had to wait 2-3 months between purchase and installation. Contractors knew what they were doing. Not a heavy duty shed by any means but it does the job. I added my own vinyl siding per HOA rules.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The exterior is ready to paint, so no problem matching with the siding of the hoose.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love our knew Handy Home shed. They have great features and are well built. The install was very fast, about 6 hours and the installer did a fantastic job. I would highly recommend this shed to anyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this shed over a year ago. I couldn't have a pre-built shed delivered because a vehicle would have to drive over my leechfield. I was so happy they stick built it in spot! They even built it in early January. I only had to mark out the corners of where I wanted it and they came and built it while I was at work! So easy and convenient! The shed is really sturdy, plenty of space inside and the double doors are great! It comes preprinted. So far I have not painted it yet and everything is still 100% perfect. I couldn't be happier with it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very happy and satisfied with my shed. I’ve had it for a few months now and am very happy with it, especially the window which like the entire shed was installed very well, and I now have it set up with shelves and a work table and electricity and as well as a storage space I enjoy spending time there. My thanks to everyone involved.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my shed after the derecho in Iowa. It was fun to put together. Instructions were user friendly. When put all together feels very sturdy and solid. I like the look of it

Painted the shed to match my house… I had the shed delivered and installed… Very happy with the finished product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I saw this at Home Depot for $820 I thought it couldn't be true. All other sheds, even ones that you have to build yourself, were at least double or more. Fortunately at the time I had a 10% coupon from Home Depot so it was a no brainer at that point, I even got two small windows from Handy Home products as well that paired nicely. The downside to this was that it took 3 months for me to receive my shed and it was supposed to arrive in 3 weeks. Now I realize there was a pandemic, but I felt someone dropped the ball, either Home Depot or Handy Home or somewhere in between, and didn't actually place the initial order. That being said, both Home Depot and Handy Home picked up that dropped ball and accommodated the delivery process and actually delivered it to my house free of charge so that was cool. I even got a credit for 4 missing 2 x 4's. All in all, I rated this 4 stars mainly for price because the price of lumber had skyrocketed and the delivery of the shed. I do wish this was a 2 x 4 shed and not 2 x 3, but I knew that before purchasing so that's not a fault of the product. Honestly if I were to do it all over again, I would have just bought all the lumber myself and built from scratch. I say that because as I purchased this, I knew in my head I wanted to make it 4' longer, so a 10 x 14. So I wound up buying additional materials anyways not only to make it longer but to fortify this shed and make it super sturdy and solid built. If you're looking for a pretty decent and nice DIY shed, I would say you can't beat the price at all, not even close. I work in construction so this was easy for me to make it more of the way I wanted it, but even if you're a novice, you can build this shed because the included instructions are very thorough and easy to read. If there was any other downside, I would say that some of the measurements and cuts could have been better, especially coming from inside a factory where these are packaged together. There's an old saying in the carpentry business, measure twice and cut once. I have attached a few pictures of my final built shed and I used premium products to finish it off including matching architectural shingles exactly what is on my house and aftermarket hardware. Enjoy!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Me and my wife bought a handy home shed last spring and it was the best financial investment we made! It was delivered and installed in the time they said it would be delivered. My father in law painted it and it looks great! I highly recommend handy home shed’s to anyone who is looking for an inexpensive purchase!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the Princeton Shed and loved the work of the shed. It is a very nice high quality shed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased a handy home product early in the year and it’s met every expectation!

Ordered April 02, installed July 7th after 4 rescheduled dates The Installation: 1) Installer notified me the day before the installation and showed up on time. (Excellent) 2) Installer was extremely knowledgeable and worked efficiently (Excellent) 3) Quality of work: Poor. Why? Nails missed, bent, not corrected, no caulking on ridge roof nails, which will leak, left all the trash that I was told he was taking. I asked about it and he said he has no way to get rid of it. Unacceptable, as I now have to get rid of it. 4) Final Inspection - Installer was in a hurry to leave and never did a final walk through as I met him in the driveway before he left. Probably because he knew he did a lousy job. 5) Quality of materials - cheapest on the market 6) Construction of shed - Built to reduce as much cost as possible, which I’m impressed it actually stands on its own. That said, jury is still out how it withstands a severe thunderstorm or blizzard. The metal shed I had seem more sturdy than this. Floor is flimsy. 7) No trim and now I have unprimed, cracked, 2x3 rough lumber that I need to caulk, paint, flash, etc to make it look presentable Bottom line, the shed is a disappointment and now I’ll have to reinforce it by adding supports to the walls, floor, etc. Attached are pic of the shed as I’m sure the installer just provided a distance shot to show its onsite

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was nervous about purchasing this item being that I am not a carpenter. However, after reveiwing the information and directions online, I went ahead. The step-by-step directions made it simple to follow and a joy to build. We are very pleased with the outcome!

I had to go back to HD and spend an additional $300+ to buy better materials to complete project. They only sent us 1 package of shingles which was not enough also the hardware nails and screws not enough.... You need a carpenter with material knowledge to build this shed because it's all inadequate materials.

Awesome fit and workmanship

It has only been 3 weeks since installation, but so far it's sturdy and works great. I painted a few days after install and then it rained 5 days in a row and still looks great. So far so good, and we love it!

Love my new shed! Mike the installer did a great job! I primed it for extra protection and then painted it. It looks great!

I have never built a shed, shingled a roof, or done a project like this yet the instructions guided me perfectly through the entire process! it took me a few days working about 4 hours a day to build the unit by myself. The only part I needed help with was putting the walls up which was an easy process. I did not use any of the screws or nails the unit came with I purchased my own. Yes a lot of the wood was warped but it did not cause issues erecting the unit level and square if you have a brain. As a matter of fact most of the 2x3's were warped or bowed. This still does not make my opinion of the shed different as over all the unit is very nice and worth the money. Also yes the instructions have some misspellings but who cares! I didnt buy the shed for the intruction manual. It has been raining not stop for days and the unit is dry as a bone inside. I fit a 54" zero turn mower, push mower, pressure washer, several ladders, 40 gallon trash can and many other items in the shed with no issues.
