Our Story
Humble Beginnings, Bold Vision
Originally from Arkansas, Carson and his family that are full of ambition, took on their first jobs building sheds —
After several years in the industry, they decided to take a leap of faith and start their own shed company. With no shop, a small office, and a lot of grit, Advantage Rentals RTO was born.
The Early Days
In the beginning, sales were slow — only one shed sold in the first four months. But the determination to succeed was stronger than the obstacles. By spring of 2023, steady sales and hard work allowed Advantage RTO to become a full-time operation.
In 2025, the team expanded with the addition of a shed hauling division, which opened the door to pre-built shed delivery — taking customer convenience and company growth to the next level. Soon after, the business outgrew the backyard and moved to a dedicated piece of land, ready for bigger things.
