At Hometown Sheds we’re constantly looking for ways to improve both our products, our sales staff and our offices. Our Danville, VA and Asheboro, NC offices have recently moved in order to better serve you, our customers.

While Hometown Sheds Danville isn’t new to the community, our new, larger and more customer friendly location is and it is sure to “wow” you. Stop by and see Steve at 4750 Riverside Drive in Danville, Virginia. Right down the road from Thunder Road Harley Davidson, you’ll find a large lot full of locally crafted wooden sheds and steel structures including buildings, carports and garages, and even Amish built quality playsets. While you’re shopping, let the kids play inside in our new large kid’s waiting area!

You’ll find the same great quality products as well at our improved Asheboro location, conveniently relocated to 3537 US Hwy 64 E. You’ll be able to view a wide selection of carports, garages, even a horse barn right there on our lot. Of course if we don’t have exactly what you need in stock, Len is happy to work with you to create a custom storage solution to fit your needs.

We strive to exceed your expectations at Hometown Sheds. Come visit our new and improved Asheboro and Danville locations or visit one of our many other areas to experience the same great products and customer service, too.

This is a great time of year! The warmer weather, the daffodils, and for many people – a nice tax refund! Your refund is money you’ve earned, and we can’t think of a better way to invest it than to get a playset for your family. We’re betting your kids agree!

Adventure World! The playsets at Hometown Sheds are made by Adventure World, and we can tell you that they are well named. You can create your own adventure with the totally customizable sets. Swings and slides. Tower and turrets. Bridges and bubbles. Specialty pieces for kids with special needs. And when your family grows, you can add on, because our playsets are scalable. Ask us about rubber mulch, picnic tables, bench swings, and gliders. All of these add up to a great adventure for your family and friends, school, or church.

We’re Not Playing. When it comes to safety and quality, our gym sets don’t mess around. First off, the wooden structures are vinyl wrapped, which means you’ll avoid splintering, warping, and rot. You also will never need to paint or stain. Metal coated powder brackets will never rust or peel. Even the under decking and roofing of each set is covered with water resistant vinyl. The safety features include superior swing anchors, safety rails, rubber coated swing chains, and non-slip steps. The features go on and on – sort of like all the fun you’ll have!

Come by our office today, or build your set online and call us to order. If your tax refund hasn’t come in yet, we offer financing options. Make tax time FUN when you get a new playset from Hometown Sheds!

By now Hometown Sheds is the name you know and trust for all of your outdoor needs. Just like our sheds, over ten years ago our company was locally built from the ground up, right here in the southeast. While many things have changed over the years, one thing has remained the same – our quality products and excellent customer service.

Laying A Foundation. In 2010 Mike Bolynn and Gerrick Gann were working as general contractors for a local modular home company. After the company unexpectedly closed, they were approached with the business venture of manufacturing storage sheds. Taking their industry knowledge and experience, they founded Hometown Sheds in early 2011. In February 2011, the first Hometown location was officially opened in Gastonia, where the original General Manager Jeff Cooper still helps customers with all of their storage solutions today. Shortly after opening the first location, Hometown opened multiple other lots across the Carolinas and Virginia. As they say, the rest is history. Today there are eleven total Hometown Sheds locations.

Building It Up. Hometown Sheds originally offered only metal sided sheds which were manufactured by Bennett Buildings. After only three years, wooden sheds were added to the product mixture alongside quality playsets, dog kennels, chicken coops, carports, and garages. In 2015, Hometown began manufacturing their own sheds, adding attention to detail and creating a truly customizable design for customers. Today customers can work with a local sales professional to design, create, and build their own storage structure from the ground up with numerous plans and options available.

Standing Apart. When asked what sets Hometown apart from other storage companies, Mike states that, “We’ve hired what we feel like is the most experienced and knowledgeable sales staff in the industry. Customers feel that experience with us throughout the process.” He also says that the rent to own and financing options are much more expansive than when the company was first created, allowing the customer to pay over time for their storage solutions, kennels, coops, and playsets.

This season, and all of those to follow, we encourage you to shop small, shop local, shop family owned, and work with the best in the industry at Hometown Sheds!

Fall is in the air! We know it’s hard to believe, but the holidays are just around the corner. There are less than three months until Christmas day. In this unpredictable year, it’s best to order early and prepare now for that perfect gift. At Hometown Sheds we have something special for everyone on your list – and we make it easy, too.

A Gift For Everyone.  Our sheds are quality built and are our most popular item. But we are much more than sheds at Hometown. Our Amish built playsets are created with the highest quality craftsmanship, vinyl wrapped treated wood and TONS of accessory options. These sets are the perfect gift for the kids or grandkids, and will keep their attention season after season, all year long. Create a perfect she shed or man cave for mom, dad, or the grandparents with a wooden building or metal shed. Both options are available in a wide selection of colors and sizes, with or without an electrical package, doors, windows, porches, and even shelving options. If you’re planning on a new four legged friend for Christmas, ask us about our selection of kennels, also Amish built and completely customizable. A new carport will keep grandpa’s tractor covered, or an enclosed garage can create an ideal workshop for any member of the family. 

How To Order. All of the products at Hometown include set up and delivery. After all, who wants to worry about spending all Christmas Eve assembling that new gift? But don’t wait until the last minute. Due to product turn around time and possible winter weather we encourage you to order now in order to ensure Santa can deliver in plenty of time for the big day. We make it easy, too. Utilize our shed or carport builder to create your own design. Many customers prefer to call and complete the entire ordering process over the phone. Of course, our local professionals are in the office to answer any questions and show you recent inventory available at your local Hometown Sheds location.  Did you think of a question after hours? No problem! Shoot us an email here and we’ll respond the next business day.

Falling Autumn leaves mean one thing – the holidays are on the way. Don’t delay this year, with our wide product selection, streamlined ordering process and even financing options, holiday ordering with Hometown Sheds has never been easier.

At Hometown Sheds we have been proudly serving your community for over 10 years, building quality, durable sheds and buildings that are made to last. A little over a year ago these qualities led Danville Tree Care Inc. to contact us to help with some of their storage needs.

The local company, owned by two brothers, has been operating in the area for over 40 years. They reached out to our local Danville manager, Steve, to assist with creating two metal buildings for their personal use at home. Sadly, a year later one of the companies wooden buildings from the 1970’s burned down in an unexpected fire. Once again they reached out to Hometown Sheds Danville to create a new custom 30x60x14 solution including a 12 foot door large enough to drive their lifts through. Windows, another option with our buildings, were also added to provide some natural light. Once the building was custom ordered and delivered, installation only took three days. They will use the building as a part office and partial garage for maintenance, projects, welding, and more.

The buildings at Hometown Sheds feature many different customizable interior options. We know you want your building to look good, too. You can choose your color and trim options to complement your style. For Danville Tree Care, their building coordinates with their custom made sign which is proudly displayed on their new building.

All of our buildings come standard with a wind and snow load rating 140 mph and 35 lbs per square foot. After all, those tree trucks need to be protected from the elements so they can help in times of emergencies and Virginia’s heavy storms.  Many other companies charge extra for these features, but they come standard in the metal structures or metal garages at Hometown.

Whether it’s for home use or to create additional storage and room for your business, Hometown Sheds is ready to create your custom storage solution. Call Steve this week to get started or visit any of our locations to bring your dream to reality.

The real estate market is really, really hot right now. People are paying over market value, and over asking prices to get in a home. Take advantage of this market by adding even more value to your property with a building from Hometown Sheds. Any real estate agent will tell you storage is what clients want, and that’s what your Hometown shed will offer them.

Quality Adds Worth. Anyone can put up a storage shed on their property, but our buildings are built locally, and have features that put them in a league of their own. First of all, they are crafted by hand, and made to last and last. They come with a limited manufacturer’s 10 year panel warranty, a 20 year paint warranty, and a 90 day workmanship warranty, and a 20 year rust through warranty on the frame. We’re able to stand behind our buildings because they are built so well. For example, each steel building has a standard 29 gauge steel. Our wooden buildings have 3/4″ Huber Blue Plus tongue in groove floor decking, with 2′ x 6′ floor joists.  

Add Value With a Playset. Another hot item on the market right now is play space for kids. Our Amish built gym sets are the best choice for your home, daycare, school, or church. In addition to a fabulous array of configurations, options, and features, you’ll find that the sets are hand built with vinyl, which means easy upkeep, and splinter free play. There are accessories, too, with swings for kids and adults, picnic tables, towers, turrets, slides, bridges, and so much more!

If you’re selling your home now, you can reap the benefits in your asking price. If you’ve just bought a home, add immediate value to your investment. And if you’re going to be in your home for a long time, you’ll not only increase your home’s value, you’ll be increasing your quality of life.

And that’s the best investment of all!

We’re crowing about the eggcellent chicken coops that we have for you at Hometown. Whether you have a few baby chicks or a whole flock of birds, we have the perfect options that we’re betting will inspire your girls to reward you with dozens of eggs!

Fabulous Features for the Feathered Friends. Our chicken coops come with keyed door entry, easy to clean, pressurized plywood flooring, a roosting bar, and those all important nesting boxes. Litter trays are removable to make clean up easier for you, and keep the flock healthy. Automatic doors are a deterrent for those other critters that like to steal eggs – and hurt chickens.

Pick Your Perks for the Perch. From simple to elaborate, you can personalize your coop. Customers love the mobile coop that you can roll from place to place in your yard, saving – and fertilizing – your lawn. Coordinate with your home’s décor by adding window and doors, or different roofing styles. Choose pre-painted coop, or a board and batten siding. Tech Shield Roofing will help keep things cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. There is also an electrical package to keep water from freezing when temperatures plummet. Whatever your flock needs, it’s a super time to buy a super coop at Hometown Sheds. Call us for super service for you – and your birds.

The blustery winds and piles of snow may leave you wondering if spring will ever arrive. However, believe it or not, the official start of warm weather and blooming flowers starts next month. Plan now for all of that outdoor activity with a new building, playset or coop from Hometown Sheds.

Outdoor Fun For Everyone. Each year eager parents and grandparents call us at the first sight of warm weather in search of a quality playset. The sets at Hometown Sheds are not only fun, but they’re built to last too. Each set is shipped directly from Pennsylvania and features Amish built construction, completely customizable options, a variety of sizes, and 8 styles to pick from. You’ll choose from swings, slides, playhouse and fort options and much more! What’s even better? Delivery and installation are included with all of our playsets so you can sit back and watch the fun be delivered right to your back yard.

Unlimited Storage. Warm weather also means outdoor fun for the grownups, too. One of our wooden or metal sheds are the perfect place to store your gardening tools, sports equipment and kid’s outdoor bikes and toys. Add a roll up door option to your shed – the perfect place to pull in the lawn mower and heavy equipment. Add windows, walk in doors, workbenches, peg boards and even an electrical package to any shed to work through the dark evenings. Grab your rockers and enjoy the beautiful weather with a porch model building – an ideal place for those new spring flowers.

Nothing is all bad, and that includes the year 2020. As we looked back, we found lots of great things that happened at Hometown Sheds.

1. We were able to keep serving during the pandemic. Since we are an essential business, we did not have to close during the initial shutdown. Our lot managers and our customers helped us comply with the safety mandates, and we are very grateful.
2. We broke our sales record! People have really been focusing on home improvement this year, and have recognized that a building from Hometown Sheds adds value to a home, both aesthetically and practically. We’ve also sold a lot of playsets to families who are doing school from home instead of away. AND we’ve sold chicken coops for those who have decided that being a bit more self sufficient is the way to go.
3. Moved to Hickory. One of the exciting things that happened this year was that we shifted one of our lots to a new location in Hickory. Drop by and visit Sherry, the lot manager there.
4. New regional sales manager! Hometown was excited to welcome Tabatha Allred to our team. Tabatha has brought fresh ideas and a team building spirit, and we’re very happy to have her!
5. We are offering two new product lines! The Lifestyle Structures and Modular Office space options are timely additions to the Hometown offerings.
6. We introduced a new website look with configurators! You can now design your carport, garage, or storage building and get an estimate! This is a great tool that helps you envision what your final product will look like – from all angles!

We are grateful to our team and to you, our customers who helped make 2020 a really good year, despite it all. We’re looking forward to serving you in 2021.
