​Salt Spray Sheds Policies

PAYMENT POLICIES
Deposit: All buildings, including repairs and door purchases, require a 25% deposit before we are able to add them to our schedule. We cannot hold dates without a deposit. We understand making a large purchase like a shed barn or garage is an undertaking. However, without a deposit, dates are scheduled on a first come first serve basis.

Final payment: The balance, minus the 25% deposit, is due upon completion of your building. Payments must be arranged within 24 hours of completion.

We will charge the card on file within 24 hours of completion. Otherwise, please provide a check or cash at the end of the building day. We do not provide financing or extended payment plans at this time. All payments not finalized within 24 hours of completion, will result in a $25.00 late fee.

We accept MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and Discover, cash and personal checks.

Please note:
  • If you are not available on the building date, we'd be happy to send over photographs of the shed to your phone or email account.
  • We cannot accept checks that have security hold in excessive of 24 hours. If you have a security measure placed on your account, we will gladly accept cash, credit card, or a bank check.
  • Final payment cannot be withheld if the courtesy window box and shutters are not on site when your building is complete. They do not impair your ability to use the new building.
  • Withholding final payment after the completion of the building or withholding payment when the building is in use, voids the warranty.

Refunds:
We offer our customers the option to cancel an order before beginning the building process. If an order is canceled, Salt Spray Sheds will return the deposited amount minus 10% for incurred office costs, plus any scheduled items, e.g., boat, hotel, that cause Salt Spray Sheds to incur a cancellation fee or completed work such as architect fees, permit fees, or engineering fees and any specialty materials which were ordered including frames for larger buildings. This applies to orders canceled 21 days before your scheduled building date in writing.
If it is within the 20-day window before your building date, Salt Spray Sheds will return the deposit, minus 10% office costs and minus any cost of materials that have been ordered for your particular project. Additionally, refunds may take up to 30 business days to process.

During times of local, state, or nationwide emergencies, or if the area has been designated a disaster area via the local, state, or federal government, we are happy to reschedule your building date but will not be able to issue refunds. Additionally, we cannot make exceptions to the 10% office costs or the scheduled items, materials purchases, or completed work.


SCHEDULING
After receipt of your deposit, your building project will be added to our schedule. We do our best to adhere to the scheduled dates. However, there will be times were adjustments are required.

1. Weather. There may be times when inclement weather effects our ability to build your new shed, barn, garages, or cottage. Inclement weather is not limited to rain, but also includes snow and excessive heat or high winds. Working in extreme conditions can have a negative impact on the health and safety of the building team.

Additionally, there may be times where negative weather impacts our building schedule and will require adjustments. The building team works to keep to the scheduled dates, but we do not want to jeopardize the health or safety of our team and want to ensure we have adequate time to dedicate toward your project. If we are forced to reschedule your building dates, even by one day, does not constitute a breach in contract making Salt Spray Sheds responsible for expenses including but not limited to travel.
Salt Spray reserves the right to reschedule due to weather or any unforeseen circumstances

2. Other Contracted Work. If you have arranged for other contracted work to begin at your home e.g. landscaping, tree work, concrete/foundation work please understand this may impeded our ability to complete your project. We require space to build, as we are building on site, and the ability to bring our equipment and vehicles to your job site. If we cannot reach your home, we may have to reschedule your building.

3. Electricity. If we begin working on your project, and lose power, we must have access to reset your breaker or contact someone who can arrive within 15 minutes to reset the power. If we do not have access or a contact person, we may not be available to arrive the next day to finish your project.

4. Vendors. If there are specialty items. e.g. windows, doors, siding, that our required to complete your building, we will order them well in advance. Please note, we do not control those vendors and any issues that may arise impeding their manufacturing or delivery. In addition, products may arrive damage requiring a new product to be built and shipped. Regrettably, we cannot control this occurrence other than working with well known manufacturers who tend not to experience these issues. However, it should be noted that inclement weather can affect delivery times.

​5. Window box and shutters. The standard window includes courtesy shutters. If you opt not to have either item in stalls will not result in a reduction in cost. Additionally it’s on the date Of building installation, we do not have the window box and/or shutters on our truck we will return to install them. However lack of installation will not result in a refund of any amount


6. Unsafe site condition. If your site is unsafe and must rescheduled, we will do our best to add you back into our schedule. However, there are always items on our schedule which cannot be moved due to boat and hotel reservations. As always, we will do our best and understand you are eager to get your new building.

If we arrive on your scheduled building date, and the site requires landscaping, clearing, sonotubes, or other preparation that prevents building, we will reschedule the building dats and a $100 charge will apply. Our building team is not equipped or prepared to landscape, clear brush, remove fence, or complete yardscape to access the building site.

7. Reschedule. If you choose to have us stop work on a building or ask to be reschedule, we cannot guaranty immediate rescheduling. Our calendar includes projects with boat and hotel reservation which cannot be rescheduled. Furthermore, we cannot bump building to accommodate a change that we did not make. If you have made the decision to have us stop, we will add you back on to our schedule within 30 days.




SITE VISITS
We do not require a site visit prior to building. If you have concerns about the feasibility of your site, we can start by having a telephone discussion. You can also send us photos and videos. If we arrive on your scheduled building date, and the site requires landscaping, clearing, sonotubes, or other preparation that prevents building, we will reschedule the building dats and a $100 charge will apply. Furthermore, we will schedule you on the next available building dates. We will not be able to adjust our schedule and move other buildings to accommodate a new date.

We aim to schedule all site visits when our team is already building in your area at the end or beginning Of the work day. We can work together to find a mutually convenient time for the appointment.
​
At this time, all site visit on Cape Cod are provided free of charge after your deposit.. Site visits beyond the Sagamore bridge, will result in a one (1) hour minimum of $85 which we will gladly deduct when you schedule a new shed with us. Site visits that require more than two hours of travel, require a minimum $145 charge per hour.

Payment for site visit is due at the time of the visit.


PERMITS
  • It is the responsibility of the homeowner to secure the proper permits prior to the building date. Please check with the local building and/or historic departments for any regulations that may apply to your building and area.
  • Salt Spray Sheds can secure shed permitting for all buildings up to 200 square feet, for a fee, on Cape Cod and the Islands. We will happily consult on permitting outside of Cape Cod and the islands.
  • Salt Spray Sheds will gladly provide you with any information needed to secure your permit for buildings over 200 square feet including architectural renderings. A charge will apply to secure any necessary drawings.
  • Any changes made to the use of the building, prior to the final inspection, which result in change to the permitting are the sole responsibility of the homeowner. Final payment will be due upon building completion not upon final inspection.
  • The framing design is owned solely by Salt Spray Sheds and cannot be shared with other providers, without our written consent. There will be times that we will not allowed them to be shared. Due to the nature of our specialized design of larger buildings e.g. garages, cottages, homes we do not unnecessarily share our interior framing designs, as they are specific and customized for each project. We feel it is not appropriate to share engineered plans with just anyone.
  • Payment for engineered stamped plans does not include a right to those plans. The payment is for the time involved, not for ownership.
  • We do not have our design team prepare elevations until they are paid for, in full.
  • It is the sole responsibility of the homeowner to secure a permit or contract with Salt Spray Sheds to secure the permit on your behalf.
  • The homeowner is responsible for understanding and complying with the zoning regulations for all buildings. Salt Spray Sheds does not take responsibility for measuring setbacks prior to a buildings installation. If a building is placed outside of the boundaries set forth by the zoning regulation, a charge will apply to move the building to a new location. This cost may include site or foundation work, to secure a new location.​
WEATHER
There may be times when inclement weather effects our ability to build your new shed, barn, garages, or cottage. Inclement weather is not limited to rain, but also includes snow and excessive heat or high winds. Working in extreme conditions can have a negative impact on the health and safety of the building team.

Additionally, there may be times where negative weather impacts our building schedule and will require adjustments. The building team works to keep to the scheduled dates, but we do not want to jeopardize the health or safety of our team and want to ensure we have adequate time to dedicate toward your project. If we are forced to reschedule your building dates, even by one day, does not constitute a breach in contract making Salt Spray Sheds responsible for expenses including but not limited to travel. If you are concerned that the weather may have impacted your date, please reach out to us, particularly if you are traveling from any distance to be at the property for the build.

​
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Ramps
If your building will not accommodate the standard ramp, a platform or stairs may be required. This is provided by Salt Spray Sheds at an additional costs. We cannot exchange a ramp for stairs.

Window Box and Shutter Custom Order
If you would like to order custom window boxes and shutters for your building or an older building, those items must be paid in full prior

​Window box and shutters. The standard fixed window comes with a courtesy pair of board and batten shutters . Opting not to have either them installed will not result in a reduction in cost. Additionally if on the date of building installation, we do not have the shutters on our truck, we will return to install them. Lack of installation will not result in a refund of any amount or a refusal to pay the remaining balance. Additionally, if you opt to have shutters, but change your mind at a later time, we will gladly schedule you for an install and a minimum one hour charge of $85.

Landscaping Site Work, and Land Survey:
If are planning on having a shed installed as part of a landscaping project, we suggest that you have your shed installed prior to the installation of seed or sod. We are not responsible for damage to lawns, seed, or sod.

Additionally, we do everything we can to protect the existing landscaping. However, if there are times where you have okayed us parking our vehicle on the lawn we will do everything in our power to avoid any disruption to the landscaping including the lawn but there may be interesting instances where tire marks or divot's are s are left behind.


Each year we develop and implement structural and aesthetic changes to our buildings to improve the quality and appearance. Not all pictures reflect current availability in building products. Subject to change without notice.

Additionally, if you are unsure of your lot lines, we can refer you to a land surveyor who can help you identify them. It is not part of the work we do.


Finally, the ground where we build your new accessory structure may change and the building may settle. If your block needs adjusting or to be lifted, we will gladly provide you with an estimate to make those changes.

​
Changes to Existing Estimates
If you decide to make changes to an estimate after we’ve received a deposit or after 14 days from the original estimate, current pricing will be used. The fluctuating lumber cost make it impossible to revert to previous pricing. We will do our best work within your budget.

Building time frame

A new shed, barn, or garage, of any size, make take longer than one day to build. We do our best to keep the time frame as short as possible, but we also do not rush for quality and safety purposes. Additionally if you have asked us to stop building due to company, not being available, or other conflicts in your schedule, we will do our best to complete your building within 30 days from the start date. However, our schedule contains projects with non-refundable reservation that cannot be change.

Additionally, we will do our best to make time to answer any questions regarding upcoming projects. However, there may be times when we are in the midst of working on current projects and it may take us more than the usual time frame to return your calls for additional answers or answers to previously discussed items. We are a family business doing our absolute best to provide for every customer and project. We value your business.

​Carry fees
​
We arrive at your property with a truck of lumber to build your new accessory structure. If the location that you would like us to build is further than 25 feet from where we can park the box truck there will be a carry charge.

​To determine if the location is further than 25 feet we encourage you to walk from where you would like us to park the truck, count how many steps you’ve taken and times that by two. If you are still not sure we welcome you to send us a short video or we can arrange for a site visit to verify the distance between the truck and the building location.

We recommend that all sheds be stained or painted upon completion. This will protect the building from the weather. All custom Doors must be primed in areas that are bare wood and painted on all sides. This is the only way to really protect the doors and also the only way to maintain to warranty. This includes all six sides of the door: front/back, top/bottom, and left/right.
