Warranty & Long-Term Care
Intro
A shed is a real structure exposed to weather, soil movement, and daily use. The goal isn’t “perfect forever.” The goal is long-term performance with predictable upkeep.

Q&A
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. ShedPros stands behind workmanship and responsible installation. We’ll always explain coverage and expectations clearly. (more about our warranties below)
What causes most long-term shed problems?
Poor drainage
Base settling
Neglected exterior maintenance
Moisture trapped under/around the shed
How can I extend the life of my shed?
Keep water directed away from the site
Maintain exterior finishes as recommended
Avoid storing wet items directly against walls
Keep vegetation from holding moisture against the structure
Will sheds settle over time?
Even great sites can shift slightly over years. Good foundations and drainage reduce this dramatically and make adjustments easier if ever needed.
If you want a shed that stays straight and dry in Western Washington, the foundation and drainage plan matter as much as the shed itself.

ShedPros Warranty Overview
At ShedPros, we build sheds like houses — not kit sheds.
Our warranty reflects that level of construction, while being clear, fair, and transparent about what we cover and why.
Below is a plain-English summary of how our warranty works.
The full legal warranty is always available [here].
Three ShedPros Build Levels
Your warranty depends on what we build and what we control.
Entry Series
Our value-focused, professionally built sheds.
5-Year Limited Structural Warranty
Covers structural workmanship
Ideal for customers who want a solid shed at an accessible price point
Homeowner Series
Residential-grade sheds built using house-style framing, roofing, flashing, and water management.
15-Year Limited Structural Warranty
Built and detailed like a home
Upgradeable to 25 years with our Maintenance Program
ShedPros Custom
Custom designs, HOA-specific styles, and non-standard builds.
15-Year Limited Structural Warranty
Same construction standards as our Homeowner Series
Upgradeable to 25 years with our Maintenance Program
Why Site Prep Matters (and Why It Affects Warranty)
Sheds fail most often because of poor foundations and drainage, not because of framing.
That’s why we draw a clear line:
When ShedPros Handles Site Prep
If we install the base (gravel pad, foundation, drainage, and water management):
The base and drainage are warranted
Warranty term is 10–15 years, set at consultation
No guessing — if we built it, we stand behind it
When Site Prep Is Done by Others
If site prep or the base is done by someone else:
Structural warranty is limited to above the subfloor
No coverage for settlement, drainage, or ground movement
This protects both you and us from issues we can’t control
Adjustment Period (All Builds)
All ShedPros structures include a 1-Year Adjustment Period, covering:
Door alignment
Minor trim movement
Hardware tuning
Normal seasonal settling above the subfloor
This is part of our white-glove approach — we expect real structures to move a little, and we tune them.
Doors & Windows
3 years parts & labor for installation-related issues
Labor covered for the full structural term for installation adjustments
Manufacturer warranties apply to product defects
Maintenance Program (Optional, Strongly Recommended)
Our Maintenance Program is designed to extend the life of your shed — and your warranty.
If enrolled within the first year and kept active:
Homeowner & Custom structures upgrade to a 25-Year Structural Warranty
Warranty becomes transferable up to 10 times
Transfer fees are waived while the plan stays active
This gives us a chance to inspect, clean, and adjust the shed annually — preventing small issues from becoming big ones.
Transferable Warranty
Warranty is transferable up to 3 times by default
$250 transfer fee includes a site inspection
With Maintenance Program: up to 10 transfers, no fees
Transfers never reset the warranty clock — they carry forward responsibly.
What’s Not Covered (High-Level)
Like all professional builders, our warranty does not cover:
Ground settlement or drainage issues we didn’t create
Interior condensation or humidity
Mold or mildew
Damage from sprinklers or irrigation
Acts of nature (storms, flooding, fallen trees)
Normal cosmetic aging
Contents stored inside the shed
Modifications or add-ons done by others
Full details are in the legal warranty.
Commercial Use
Our sheds are designed for residential accessory use.
If a shed is used primarily for business, rental, or jobsite purposes:
Warranty coverage is limited to 1 year
Extended warranty options do not apply
This keeps expectations clear and pricing fair.
Built to Last. Backed with Clarity.
We believe warranties should do two things:
Protect customers, and
Reflect real-world construction realities
If ShedPros builds it, installs it, and maintains it — we stand behind it long-term.
