Our History
Reeds Ferry Small Buildings, Inc. manufactures high quality custom-crafted sheds, utility buildings, gazebos, and pool cabanas. Established in 1960 by the late Hobart D. Carleton, the company has 47 years of manufacturing experience. Today the third generation of the Carleton family owns and operates the business.
Our Name
We built our first shed just north of Nashua NH in the town of Reeds Ferry, hence our name. The town was named for Wilber Reed. During the 1700 and 1800's Mr. Reed operated a ferry along the Merrimack River between Litchfield and Merrimack. In 1969 our growing company needed a larger production facility, so we transferred to our current headquarters along Rt. 111 in Hudson NH. Of course after the move we kept the name Reeds Ferry, because it’s like our product... one-of-a-kind.
Our Staff
Reeds Ferry buildings are hand-built by experienced craftsmen who take pride in their trade. We employ thirty carpenters, repairmen, and installers, and many have been with us for more than a decade. One major advantage of dealing with Reeds Ferry is that we directly employ 100% percent of our staff. Unlike many of our competitors we do not hire subcontractors for any portion of the construction or installation.
Our Products
With Reeds Ferry you’re dealing directly with the manufacturer. Unlike the home improvement chain-store, there is no mark-up for the middle-man. This allows us to keep our prices competitive while using higher grade materials and construction methods. We construct our buildings with the studs 16’ on-center, use thick exterior-grade plywood for the sheathing; pressure-treated lumber on the floor joist; and 25-year asphalt shingles on the roof. Compare and you’ll see that Reeds Ferry provides far greater quality for the same price.
Our Installation
Delivery is free in New England. All Reeds Ferry buildings are pre-fabricated at our production facility and assembled on location. This practice allows our install-crews easier access to your site, and it minimizes any chance of landscape damage. Our professionally trained installers finish a typical installation in less than four hours. Reeds Ferry also offers a shed removal and shed relocation service.
Our Promise
Since day one Reeds Ferry has strived to give our customers the best quality and value for the dollar. The best then is still the best today. We’re certain our product will provide you years of satisfaction and service and we back that claim with a 25-year warranty. |
