Customer Success Story
"Best decision I made during the pandemic—and it's still paying off."
Sarah M., Short Pump – Marketing Director working hybrid schedule
“I was losing my mind trying to take Zoom calls with my kids doing remote school in the background. My husband and I were both fighting for the dining room table. When we saw our neighbor’s backyard office from Evergreen Sheds, we knew that was the answer.”
“We went with the 10×16 Presidential Cottage with full electrical and insulation. Added a mini-split for climate control. Evergreen helped us get HOA approval—they knew exactly what our ARB would want to see.”
“Now I have a dedicated office with my L-shaped desk, bookshelf, and even a small couch for reading. When I walk out at 5pm, I’m DONE with work. My mental health has dramatically improved. Plus, when we appraised last year, our home value increased $22,000—the appraiser specifically noted the office as a major selling point.”
