Man Cave - She Shed

Man Cave – She Shed Construction

We have all heard the saying “happy wife, happy life,” but recently, I listened to a slightly modified version that caught my attention “happy spouse, happy house.” This changed how I thought about my relationship, helping me see that it is important to meet the wife/mom’s needs, but we can’t forget about dad/husband’s needs either. So while the wife may get her dream kitchen/closet in the new house, we can’t forget about dad and his man cave. So whether it is some extra room in the attic or a spare nook in the garage, we can turn any man’s space into every man’s dream.

Ideas for the Best Man Cave

A custom man cave looks a bit different for each client depending on their taste, likes, and hobbies. Here at Rudd Builders, our experts are experienced in building custom caves to fill every desire. We go over our custom 4 point checklist to ensure your dream becomes a reality in our consultation. The following are some examples of features that your man cave could include.

1- Games: This category is one of the most popular. Games can range from pool to foosball, card tables to air hockey, and video games to dartboards. Some next-level games could be installing your greens, a bowling alley, batting cage, or even basketball hoops. Your imagination only limits the options (well, and maybe your space available).

2- Gyms: another trendy addition to the man cave is a gym area complete with weights and a bench or machines to help you get those gains and kiss the dad bod goodbye! Beyond the standard gym weights, rock walls, boxing rings, or circuit trainers are also options. Tell us about your wildest dreams so we can build them before your eyes.

3- Bars: Whether you enjoy being on the rocks, shook or stirred, a bar is another part of a man cave that can’t be overlooked. The bar can include a fridge and sink, or even a microwave/oven to heat those snacks just before the big game. So whether you want beer taps or a soda machine, no man cave is complete without snack central.

4- Hobby Room: For some men, their hobbies need space in which to thrive. So if you’re one of those who collects, builds, or designs, then your man cave is just the space for you. Complete with storage for all of your tools/creations, this man cave can become your escape into creative paradise.

Salt Lake She-Shed Construction

An ever-growing trend in real-estate these days is that of a female-centric space designed just for her. This space is traditionally an outbuilding or separate from the main living quarters but can be attached. It is the female alternative to the man cave, known as a she-shed or a babe cave. So move over, guys; this one is for the girls.

Your she shed, or babe cave, is a space all for you designed by you. Your she shed should be a space unique to you that reflects your interests and hobbies, but that is separate from everyday life’s hustle and stress. Your shed will quickly become your sanctuary of peace and stillness where you can relax and recoup after a long day’s work.

In your she shed, the opportunist is limitless. You could have room for your meditation in the early mornings. Or maybe you are into yoga, Zumba, or another form of exercise. Whatever it may be, this will be your space to work out until your heart’s content. If working out isn’t your passion, no worries, the room is only limited by your imagination. It could easily be a craft themed area complete with all your tools and decorations. Or perhaps a photography/art studio where you review your pics and store your paints, cameras, or canvases. When it comes to your she shed, it’s your blank canvas in which you can customize and style precisely the way you like it. Oh, and the best part, you don’t have to worry about what others think or if the kids will break those delicate pieces because it is your space, not a shared common one.

Request a She-Shed Consultation

To help you bring you she shed from a Pinterest board into space you adore, our master contractors will conduct a consultation with you. This will entail deciding if you will be renovating the existing space or if you will be building an entirely new one. The budget will also be discussed, and plans will be put into place. Your assigned contractor’s professional eye, along with their years of experience, will ensure you get all the shed without breaking the bank.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The finished renovation looks really good. The updated areas feel brighter and more comfortable, and the improvements have made better use of the available space. I like that the finished design still allows the original character of the home to come through. The new materials complement each other without looking overly matched, and the storage improvements have helped reduce clutter. The smaller details around the trim and fixtures also look neat. Everything feels more cohesive now, and the space is easier to use on a daily basis. Overall, I'm very pleased with the finished project and the difference it made.

Their pricing was very competitive, and I appreciated the detailed, transparent cost breakdown from the beginning. Paul and John were fantastic to work with. They communicated every step of the way, were always responsive to my questions, and were incredibly accommodating whenever I wanted to make changes. Their professionalism and flexibility made the entire process easy and stress-free. We absolutely love our new basement—it turned out even better than we imagined! I 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, honest, and skilled contractor. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again for future projects!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These guys did a great job on my relatively small project. I was pretty antsy to get the job done, and they responded well to that. All of the workmen were super nice and polite and professional. The work was excellent, and I am thrilled with the outcome. I can’t even come up with something I didn’t like about their work. Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We worked with Paul, John, Chad, Luis on our upstairs bathroom remodel. They started in December and tore out everything - tub, toilet, cabinets, floor. We finished in late January, and it’s an amazing, relaxing, custom space. The team was professional and pleasant to see in our home almost every day. The pictures don’t do it justice.  We are just absolutely pleased with how well it came out! Paul recommended a few local companies such as Cobble Creek Countertops, Tile for Less, Sterling Shower Glass. They all spoke very highly of Paul and were great local options to work with.  These were necessary suggestions because I ran into material sourcing issues when working through the design -  Connie at Cobble Creek, Madelyn at Tile for Less, and Matthew at Sterling Shower Glass absolutely brought it all together for us! The shower and floor tile, the niche and seat, were really important details to get right, and Chad took his time and laid it out great.  John fixed a venting problem for our lower bathroom through the floor when it was open, savings us time and money.  Luis added outlets and lights and switches.  The craftsmanship is excellent. As you might expect, the bathroom remodel was loud and dirty and disruptive and I was there almost every day.  Thankfully they worked reasonable hours. They did a decent job of cleaning up each day.  Any damage or issues were fixed promptly. They communicated well in person and over text.  Paul took care of the insurance, permits, and coordination.  Paul provided an estimate at the beginning, and I paid in three installments during the project.  I provided some of the big pieces and his team did the rest.  The price was close enough to the estimate, about $20k plus what I purchased (tile, vanity, toilet, countertops, etc) for a total under $30k for our 100 sqft bathroom. I would hire Paul Rudd and his team again and recommend them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were really happy with the work Paul and his team did to remodel our shower/tub area! The project took longer than anticipated but the ultimate cost was right in line with the estimate and the team made sure everything was done right, even if it had to be done a second time. Price was right in line with some other estimates we got. They also made friends with our cats and dogs, who loved them! Would recommend and will use them again in the future.
