Compare shed-moving quotes

A useful quote describes the whole trip: lifting, transport, access and resetting the building.

Three conversations to have first

Describe both ends of the move
Provide pickup and destination addresses, shed dimensions, photographs, gate widths and route obstacles. Ask whether a site visit is needed before the mover commits.
Check the building
Ask how the mover assesses runners, floor framing, weight and condition. Confirm what must be removed and who disconnects any utilities before work begins.
Define the finished position
Have the quote state whether it includes blocking, leveling, anchoring, a new pad and cleanup. Ask who is responsible for route permits and property permissions where needed.

Put each proposal side by side

Line item	What to establish
Building	Width, length, total height, construction, runners, photographs and any porch or lean-to.
Route	Pickup and drop-off addresses, loaded distance, gate openings, overhead clearance and vehicle access.
Preparation	Emptying the shed, removing obstacles, disconnecting utilities and preparing the destination.
Move	Loading equipment, transport, permits where needed, escorts and weather-related rescheduling.
Placement	Blocking, leveling, anchoring, extra materials, pad work and whether old blocks are reused.
Risk and price	Insurance terms, condition exclusions, deposit, change charges and written acceptance of both sites.

Confirm who will do the work

Check the business named on the contract, the person or crew attending, insurance and any qualifications required for your particular scope. A listing does not establish these. Keep the proposal, photographs and completion record together.

Keep estimates comparable

Request the same work from each bidder. Ask what is excluded, what could change the price and what happens if the proposed work cannot go ahead. Avoid comparing a bare labor price with a full-service proposal.
