Sarah Rabdau
"As a landscape designer I'm always on the lookout for handsome sheds that can be integrated into the landscape. We needed something small, functional, and modern. The shed checks all the boxes. The Urban Shed team were all very responsive and answered all of my questions. Would recommend to a client for future projects."

"Nate was our builder. He was professional, skilled and responsive. If we raised an issue with him, he listened, heard us and did everything within his powers to meet our needs. It was important to him that we were happy. We are very happy with our Urban Shed. And Nate’s work was top notch. He build our shed as if it was going into his own yard. Thanks Nate for your work."

Hi, I'm Jordan Mast
My name is Jordan, and I recently made the move to Pittsburgh, PA, a city I’ve quickly come to love. I bring an extensive background in carpentry and a strong work ethic to every job I take on. Craftsmanship matters deeply to me, and I take pride in the quality and detail of my work. I believe that treating people with respect and delivering real value are just as important as the finished product. Pittsburgh has welcomed me, and I’m excited to give back by serving this community through honest work, attention to detail, and a commitment to making every project count.
Why I partner with Urban Sheds
"I love building structures from Urban Sheds because they work closely with the customer and always provide me with great shed designs and blueprints. That allows me to focus on what I love most—building. It’s a partnership that respects my time and talents."

Founder's Story
I grew up on a 4-acre homestead in the small village of Waldeck, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, where my father was born and raised. Our family woodworking shop, started by my grandfather in 1956, was my childhood playground. Working alongside my father and grandfather, I crafted furniture and tinkered with my own projects, learning the value of craftsmanship, hard work, and the stories woven into every piece of wood. That shop was where I learned integrity, precision, and the value of relationships.
At 16, my family moved to western Massachusetts, and I joined a startup storage shed company as its first employee. I quickly rose to foreman and then shop manager, overseeing the production of thousands of sheds over a decade. But the fast-paced, high-volume environment began to feel empty. The craftsmanship I loved got buried under the grind of mass production, and I felt stuck and disconnected, like I’d lost the heart and the outlet for the creativity I experienced in my early childhood.
In 2014, I moved to Boston and founded Urban Sheds with a vision to build sheds onsite, and restore the freedom and creativity that comes from a direct customer-builder connection. Working directly for the customer reignited my passion for craftsmanship and built lasting relationships. A shed often led to a deck, a pergola, or another project, each project building trust and relationships that lasted years. Seeing a customer’s satisfaction became the heart of my work.
With modern technology, I saw a way to bring this approach to more people. I began recruiting craftsmen across the country who shared my vision of quality construction and local connection. To make this accessible, I built a website where customers nationwide can design their sheds online and connect with local builders who craft them onsite.
Urban Sheds combines the innovation, detailed blueprints, and dedicated customer service of a large business with the personal touch of small-scale craftsmanship, authentic relationships and customized care.
My mission is to not just build sheds, but to reawakening that sense of connection in every community we touch.

A building permit may be required for your shed, depending on its size, location, and purpose. The answer depends on local building codes.
Here’s how to find out:
-
Contact Your Local Building Department: Visit their website or give them a call to get clear guidelines on permit requirements.
If your shed needs a building permit you have two options.
1. Apply for the building permit yourself as the homeowner.
2. Use the permit expediting service through Urban Sheds for a flat rate of $1700. You will find this option on the 3D Shed Configurator.
Some towns are pretty straight forward to pull a building permit, others can be difficult and bureaucratic. Contact the Urban Sheds Installation Advisor for your area for more information.

A solid foundation is essential for a durable and stable shed. Here are three site preparation options to consider:
Regular Concrete Blocking (Best for Small Sheds on Level Ground)

Stone Base (Best for Medium to Large Sheds)
-
Provides excellent drainage and stability.
-
Ideal for sheds in relatively level areas.
-
Enhances durability and aesthetics.
-
Available in our 3D Shed Configurator.
Retaining Wall Foundation (Best for Sloped Yards)
-
Necessary for sloped terrain to create a level foundation.
-
Custom-built for your yard’s specific needs.
