ShedPros performing professional shed maintenance as part of long-term warranty and care service

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:

  1. Protect customers, and

  2. Reflect real-world construction realities

If ShedPros builds it, installs it, and maintains it — we stand behind it long-term.
