I’m proud to announce the launch of our first specialty business; Houston Sheds. Its website is live at https://houstonsheds.com and we have already built several sheds for new clients. We have many more scheduled for the months to come. And if you don’t have time to read the post below, the summary of it all is that we’d like to build a shed for you when you’re ready for one.

I started Joseph’s Woodwork Co. back in 2018 shortly after we moved from Florida to my hometown of Houston, Texas. You can read all about it on our About page. I initially began to build and offer a variety of products with no clear idea of which ones I should focus on. That is … until the pandemic began and everyone wanted planter boxes and raised beds to grow their own food.

More Than Raised Garden Beds

Since then, wooden garden products have been the primary niche of this business, which is obvious to anyone browsing this website. We now have a well-established catalog of garden products to offer. But what’s exciting to me is I feel like we’re just getting started in that space. We’ve taken several big steps towards selling and shipping our products all over the country … even the big and heavy ones. The sky’s the limit for that main focus of our business.

But here’s the thing; I’m not a gardener and I don’t pretend to be one. I had no idea this business would go in the direction of gardening. But that’s what happened … essentially by accident. I love it and I’ll never run out of ideas for garden products.

Another Product We Could Build

All these years, however, I knew I wanted to add something new to the mix, something completely different. I considered several different options, many of which are ideas I still might want to develop in the future. Despite all the options, however, I knew I needed to settle and focus on just one thing. And whatever it ended up being, it would need to stand alone as a separate business rather than a new product line of Joseph’s Woodwork Co.

Sometime during the first half of 2023, I started building a shed in my own backyard because I needed the extra space. While I developed my plans, it didn’t take long for me to realize that storage sheds are the perfect product for us to start offering.

After delivering garden beds to the backyards of our clients, we are often asked what else we can build for them. “Do you do decks?” “Pergolas?” We get many of these questions. They’re happy with what we just built for them. They see the quality and craftsmanship we put into our work. So they ask us to build something else.

In these conversations, however, the one thing that came up more often than anything else is sheds. “Can you build me a shed?” Before last year, I would always say no. But that’s before I invested a considerable amount of time and effort developing a business plan for selling sheds in Houston. We got all of that squared away early in 2024. We then proceeded to book shed orders and we’ve already built several sheds for new happy clients.

Here I am working on a new shed in the La Porte area:
