Our Story

Apex Shed Company’s story begins with a personal need that led to the creation of something much bigger. Like many people, I found myself in need of a reliable, high-quality shed. Little did I know, this simple need would turn into a journey that would transform into a successful business. Here's how it all began.

As surprising as it may sound, Apex Shed Company was founded completely by accident. It all began 30 years ago when our flimsy tin shed was blown down by one of those infamous Utah microburst windstorms. In search of a quality replacement, I visited Tuff Shed, Best Sheds, and every other shed builder I could find in Utah. What I discovered was that all of these companies had two things in common: first, they all cut corners and didn’t build sheds the way I felt they should be; and second, they were all fairly overpriced. After years of experience in the construction industry and some careful consideration, I finally decided to take matters into my own hands and build my own shed.

During the process of building my own shed, my next door neighbor asked me if I'd be willing to help him build a shed in his yard. As a favor, I agreed to build the shed for just about the cost of materials, and didn’t think much of it. Within a couple of months, I received calls from two of his friends, both saying, "Your neighbor Mike, said you built an awesome shed for him. Could I hire you to build one for me?" I ended up building sheds for both of them, and then something unexpected happened. Suddenly, I started receiving calls from people all over Utah County who had heard about this guy from Santaquin that was building high-quality storage sheds at affordable prices. That’s when Apex Shed Company began to take shape.

Apex Shed Company, formerly known as Super Sheds by Durabuilt Products, officially launched in August of 1995. The business grew steadily through word of mouth, eventually reaching a point where I was spending more time building sheds on the side than working my full-time job. After a while, I made the decision to leave my job, hire a team, and pursue building storage sheds, garages, top-quality chicken coops, and playhouses full-time. What began as a small operation in my garage—one that I built myself—has now evolved into the company you know today.

Over the years, Apex Shed Company has remained a family-owned business, with 10 of our 11 children and many other family members having worked for us at one point or another and some still do to this day. Though we have many team members that are not related we consider all of our employees to be part of our family. We’ve built our company on the core values of honesty, integrity, and hard work and continue to look for better and more effective ways to provide the absolute best experience for our customers.

While we’ve grown considerably over the past 30 years, our success continues to be driven by the same principles on which the company was founded: to provide a better product at the best possible price, while offering exceptional customer service. Word of mouth advertising remains a vital part of our business, and we know we wouldn’t be where we are today without the trust and loyalty of our wonderful customers. We hope to provide you with the same superior service and quality that has become the hallmark of Apex Shed Company.  From our family to yours, thank you for considering us for your storage solution needs.
