'Hi Michael!
I meant to leave a review so I will here now!
From the first contact with you to the delivery of my little "cabin" the experience was professional, straight forward, positive and informative.  My "sleep cabin" was delivered and installed without the loss of any trees which was very impressive.  It was exactly as ordered!  It is well built and fits our needs perfectly at camp!  I finished the interior and include a few pictures!  We look forward to purchasing our next one from you in a few years!!"

"Hi Michael,

Just a note to thanking you and Hickory Sheds for your professional service and delivery of our 12’ X 20’ unit to our cottage on Lake Gordon Quebec.
On schedule and professionally setup., we are very pleased .
Presently there is quite a bit of snow bur l fear more for my cottage roof than that of our engineered shed!
Thanks Much, best of the Season."

"Hi Michael,

Loving my shed!
Thank you so much for all your support. When I saw the shed, it was exactly what I was looking for. Well built! 
Contacting you was a breeze and delivery was on point. No issues and the delivery person was very careful and caring to my request. 
He tweaked it until I was !00 percent satisfied! Really nice guy! It was a pleasure dealing with you all."

The purchase of our shed went very well ,the timeline of the delivery met our needs and very much appreciated.

The service  for the  purchase and the service from delivery driver was exceptional.

Thank you very much

- Paul Gauthier Dec 14, 2025

"Hi Michael,

We had an awesome experience with you.
From the start meeting we never felt pressured to purchase or upgrade. You answered our questions with ease and knowledge.
Delivery was quick and communication throughout the process was clear and precise.
We are very happy with our 14×24 shed and appreciate the quality of the product. Colin was very professional and didn't rush the delivery.
One recommendation we would like to mention is the loft plywood should be placed smooth side up. Ours is down and it makes placing items up there very difficult as items cannot slide. 
Thank you for everything.

"Hello Michael,
my experience with Old Hickory Buildings and salesman Michael Fricker was nothing but exceptional. Attached pictures are of delivery and placement within centimeters of where I wanted the building to be placed. So pleased with advice given on what to choose: color and size, quality workmanship, expectation date, ground preparation, blocks required and how it would be delivered. The overall delivery was flawless. I am so pleased with my building that I may order another one in 2026. Thank you for making my backyard dreams come true.
- Laurie Goulais Dec 13, 2025
"Hello Michael,
Colleen and I just wanted to let you know how appreciative we are for all your patience, especially having to resubmit the application for the larger garage shed size (going from 18 feet to 20 feet) and having to resubmit all the paperwork, and having to request if we would still be eligible for the 10% discount with your boss.  We are really looking forward to our dream garage/shed for our backyard.  Thank you so much for all your help and support on our phone calls, and being so accommodating, and double checking to make sure they received our additional payment.  So glad they recieved the $207...thanks for sending the screen shot.  So sorry for being a pain...it was just a little tough ordering so long in advance and before getting the building permit - but in the end...we are super excited and it will be worth it.  Thanks again Michael, Colleen and I are so grateful."

We even had company in from out of town and they wanted info about the shed which we provided - they were from the Niagara region. Btw we did order the right size that suited our needs too. 
Take good care and all the best!"

"My experience with old Hickory was very easy. Michael was quick and efficient in handling the paperwork and setting everything up for delivery. The delivery was on time and quick and efficient as well. The shed was leveled and set up in no time and we immediately started filling it up.  This is our second old Hickory shed and both were quick and easy. Thank you again for the ease of this purchase."

"Good morning Michael,
I wanted to say thank you for everything that you did during the process of our shed being delivered.  You made it very easy, and the project was done on time and turned out even better than we were expecting. 
Our shed was built on site, and the building crew showed up on time, and their work ethic is amazing. The attention to detail is top notch.  Our neighbors have come over to look at the shed and we have heard nothing but positive feedback.
I wish I found you sooner.
I would recommend Old Hickory to anyone looking for a shed.
Keep up the great work."

He called to confirm his arrival time, and once at my home, the way he was able to navigate a tight area and deposit the shed exactly where I wanted it was most impressive. He installed my anchors, made sure everything was level, ensured all the doors and windows opened perfectly, and really left no stone unturned. Dealing with Old Hickory Buildings Canada was a quality experience from start to finish."

"Hi Michael,

"I want to comment on our experience with your product and delivery…. It was great! Colin did a great job delivering the shed, he was a joy to watch doing his thing manoeuvring the tight road to the property, off-loading, and positioning the building. We knew we would be impressed by the shed itself, but the service was exceptional. Please pass along our thanks to Colin and to you Michael.

Travelling on the last week of the month we missed your current sale for another shed, but we still have plans to get a larger shed delivered to an acreage property we have on Hwy 630…we’ll try to get back to you this fall.

Thanks again!"

Thank you for the excellent job with the shed on Island 907. It looks fantastic.

"Hi Michael. Our shed arrived on Friday, as scheduled. Colin is certainly a master of the articulated flat bed! We had friends visiting these past few days, so we didn’t start moving our things in until yesterday. We did sign off on the condition of the building, based on a cursory look by both us and Colin but we all missed an important problem. I’ve attached pictures of a split 2x4 in the wall. Can you advise about repair. Do we require our carpenter to replace the whole board? Thanks,"

"Hi Michael,

We are very happy with our shed and the whole process so thank you for everything. I was just hoping to pick your brain for a minute . We are looking at insulating the inside and have found so many different answers on the right way to do it. Have you ever seen anyone do a shed to housing conversion on these? I'm hoping maybe one of your clients have done this already and found a good way to get sufficient air flow and moisture control or you could point me in the right direction to find some answers. Thanks so much."
- Jenny Batrick June 6, 2024

RESPONSE:
Good to hear from you, Jenny!

I'm glad that everything went well for you. It's always great to hear, thanks!

Insulating your building is one thing, converting it to meet housing code is a whole other matter. To insulate the building for occasional use would be as simple as having it spray foamed. That would seal the walls and ceiling against moisture penetration. If you were to install fiberglass batt insulation you'd run the risk of moisture forming between the batts and the outside walls. 

Insulating it to housing code is a much bigger challenge, but it is possible. A company specializing in insulation can help. They may ask for drawings to give you a quote. I can order the drawings for you if you need them. They're $56.50 with tax and would be emailed to you in 24-48 hours.

Again, great to hear from you!

Michael Fricker - Old Hickory Buildings North Bay and Mattawa
note: Jenny purchased a building off one of my lots. If I know in advance that you're planning to insulate I can provide options.

"Just wanted to say how impressed and happy we are with the purchase and set up of our new shed on Wednesday May 15th.

The two pleasant fellows that put up the shed sure knew how to work together and worked amazingly as a team. It was refreshing to see young men that were not afraid of hard work, knew how to get along with one another and were also very knowledgeable carpenters.

We will certainly be recommending your company to anyone who needs a new shed."
