North Idaho On Site Sheds

Our Shed Warranty & Quality Guarantee

North Idaho On Site Sheds stands behind every build with confidence. Learn about our warranty coverage on materials, craftsmanship, and structural parts.

What We Warrant

Subject to the terms, limitations, and exclusions below, North Idaho On Site Sheds warrants:

  • Craftsmanship and workmanship — 5 years from the build date. This covers defects in assembly, framing, door and window operation, and overall construction that affect the structural integrity or normal use of the shed.
  • Siding and roofing materials — 30 years from the warranty start date, against defects such as cracking, delamination, or rust-through where applicable. This is a materials warranty only and assumes installation by us.

Our sole obligation under this warranty is, at our option, to repair or replace the defective portion of the shed. Any replacement parts will be of similar quality and color — an exact match is not guaranteed due to weathering.

What Is Not Covered

This is a limited warranty. It does not cover:

  • Normal wear and tear, fading, chalking, or cosmetic changes from weather exposure.
  • Damage from improperly adjusted sprinklers.
  • Damage caused by improper site preparation, an inadequate foundation, unlevel ground, shed settling, or poor drainage. You are responsible for proper site prep unless we performed it.
  • Damage from acts of God, including high winds, hail, heavy snow, flooding, earthquakes, fire, or lightning.
  • Interior damage from storing wet items, lack of ventilation, or condensation without proper floor protection.
  • Damage from misuse, neglect, lack of maintenance, animal damage, vandalism, or unauthorized modifications or repairs.
  • Consequential or incidental damages, such as damage to the contents inside the shed or to other property.
  • Any implied warranties beyond this express limited warranty.

Primed Siding and Trim — Your Finishing Responsibility

If your shed is delivered with factory-primed (unpainted) siding or trim, you are responsible for properly finishing it to protect against moisture. This includes:

  • Caulking all seams, joints, trim, doors, windows, and any cut edges with a high-quality, paintable exterior sealant.
  • Applying at least one full coat of high-quality 100% acrylic latex exterior paint to all exposed surfaces — including the bottom edges of all siding, door bottoms, and any other cut or exposed edges.

This work must be completed within 30 days of the build date. Failure to properly caulk and paint within this window voids all coverage under the 30-year siding warranty for any rim or edge swelling, checking, delamination, moisture intrusion, or related damage to the siding or trim. Such damage is considered the result of customer neglect, not a defect in materials or workmanship.

How to Make a Claim

  1. Contact us by text or email within the warranty period, including photos and a detailed description of the issue.
  2. Give us a reasonable opportunity — usually within 30 days — to inspect the shed.
  3. If the claim is approved, we repair or replace the defective part at our expense.

General Terms

  • This warranty is non-transferable and applies only to the original purchaser.
  • This warranty is the sole and exclusive remedy. We disclaim all other warranties, express or implied, including merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, to the extent allowed by Idaho law.
  • Our maximum liability shall not exceed the original purchase price of the shed.
  • Proper maintenance is required for the warranty to remain in effect — for example, keeping the roof clear and repainting when applicable.

Common warranty questions

  • How long is the warranty?

    Workmanship is warranted for 5 years from the build date, and siding and roofing materials are warranted against defects for 30 years from the warranty start date.

  • What does the warranty cover?

    Defects in our workmanship — assembly, framing, door and window operation, and construction that affects the shed's structural integrity or normal use — plus defects in the siding and roofing materials we install. Our remedy is to repair or replace the defective portion at our option.

  • What do I need to do to keep my siding warranty?

    If your siding or trim is delivered primed (unpainted), you must caulk all seams and cut edges and apply at least one full coat of 100% acrylic latex exterior paint to every exposed surface within 30 days of the build. Skipping this voids the 30-year siding coverage for moisture-related damage.

  • Is the warranty transferable?

    No. The warranty is non-transferable and applies only to the original purchaser.

  • How do I file a warranty claim?

    Contact us by text or email within the warranty period with photos and a description of the issue. We will arrange to inspect the shed, usually within 30 days, and repair or replace the defective part at our expense if the claim is approved.

Warranty confidence

Ask the warranty questions before the build is scheduled.

Use the estimate path to confirm the shed use, material choices, foundation, and site conditions that matter most for long-term fit.

Plan clearly

Keep decisions connected to real use, weather, access, and foundation conditions.

Confirm fit

Use the estimate conversation to make sure expectations match the build.

Built in place

On-site construction keeps the plan tied to the property where the shed will live.
