Custom Storage Buildings in Central Florida
Protect your equipment with quality construction designed for the long term.
Whether you need to store tractors and lawn equipment, tools and supplies, or seasonal items and inventory, we build custom storage buildings that keep your valuables secure and dry.
Buildings By Bill constructs custom storage buildings across Central Florida designed to protect your equipment, tools, and supplies from Florida's harsh climate. Each storage building is custom-sized to your needs, built with premium materials that withstand humidity and hurricanes, and constructed by our in-house crew with 35+ years of experience building structures that last decades.
Why Choose Buildings By Bill for Your Storage Building
Built for Florida's Climate
Cheap storage sheds fall apart quickly in Florida's challenging environment. After 35 years building in Central Florida, I know exactly what materials and construction methods last.
Humidity Resistance - Florida's constant humidity will rot cheap lumber and corrode low-grade fasteners within years. We use treated materials and corrosion-resistant hardware that stand up to moisture.
Hurricane Engineering - Your storage building will meet Florida's hurricane wind load specifications. We use proper bracing, engineered connections, and adequate fastening to keep your building standing when storms hit. Several of our customers have reported Buildings By Bill structures surviving hurricanes that destroyed cheaper buildings nearby.
Heat and UV Protection- Florida's intense sun and heat require proper roofing materials and ventilation planning. We design storage buildings that protect your equipment from heat damage and provide adequate airflow to prevent moisture buildup.
Foundation and Drainage - Florida's heavy rains and soil conditions require proper foundation design. We prepare sites to prevent settling, water infiltration, and drainage problems that plague poorly built structures.
Custom-Sized to Your Needs
We don't sell pre-fab storage sheds in three standard sizes. Every storage building we construct is custom-designed for your specific requirements.
Need to store a tractor, zero-turn mower, and trailer? We'll design the building to fit your equipment. Need workshop space plus storage? We'll configure the layout accordingly. Need extra height for vertical storage? We'll build it taller.
After 35 years, I've built storage buildings in every imaginable size and configuration. Tell me what you need to store, and I'll design a building that works.
All In-House Construction
My crew handles all construction from foundation to roof. No subcontractors, no coordination issues, no quality control problems.
When you call years later with a question about adding shelving or expanding the building, you're talking to people who actually built it.
Quality Materials That Last
The difference between a storage building that lasts 10 years and one that lasts 50+ years comes down to materials and construction quality.
Structural Components:
Properly treated lumber for ground contact and moisture resistance
Engineered framing appropriate for Florida loads
Quality roofing materials designed for UV exposure
Corrosion-resistant fasteners throughout
Exterior Protection:
Durable siding options (metal, LP SmartSide, T1-11)
Weather-sealed doors and windows
Proper flashing and drainage details
Quality trim and finishing
The price difference between cheap materials and quality materials is about 15-20%, but the difference in longevity is 200-300%. We build storage buildings as investments, not as disposable structures.

What Our Customers Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Storage building costs vary based on size and features. Small buildings (30'×36') start around $8,000-$12,000. Medium buildings (36'×36') typically range from $15,000-$25,000. Larger buildings (48'×48'+) range from $30,000-$60,000+. Final cost depends on size, features, materials, and site conditions. I provide detailed quotes after understanding your needs.
Most storage buildings take 3-6 weeks total including permitting (1-2 weeks) and construction. Small buildings may be completed in 2-3 weeks. Larger buildings with custom features may take 6-8 weeks. Weather can affect timelines.
Most storage buildings require permits in Florida, especially those over 100-200 square feet (varies by county). We handle all permit applications and ensure your building meets local codes.
Yes. We can insulate walls and ceiling, which is particularly useful if you're storing temperature-sensitive items or creating workshop space. We can also coordinate HVAC installation for climate control.
Metal storage sheds are typically prefabricated in standard sizes with thin gauge metal and minimal structural support. We build custom storage buildings with proper framing, quality materials, engineered for Florida's hurricanes, and sized specifically to your needs. Our buildings last decades while prefab sheds often rust, dent, and deteriorate within years in Florida's climate.
Yes. We coordinate with licensed electricians to install lighting, outlets, and any electrical features you need. This is included in your project quote.
We install quality locking hardware on all doors. For higher security needs, we can install commercial-grade locks, security windows, or coordinate security system installation. Your valuables will be well-protected.
In many cases, yes. If you think you might expand later, tell me during the design phase so we can build the initial structure to accommodate future expansion more easily.
