Materials Warranty

Limited Lifetime, Through The Manufacturer

We install materials from reputable, name-brand manufacturers — not bargain-bin product. Every manufacturer we work with offers a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials, and we pass that warranty through to you, the homeowner, in full.

At the completion of your install, you'll receive:

  • Your manufacturer's warranty documentation
  • Product specifications for the materials installed
  • Care & maintenance instructions, where applicable

Manufacturer warranties typically cover defects in the materials themselves — cracking, warping, peeling, color failure beyond normal weathering, and similar issues. Specific terms vary by manufacturer and material.

Lifetime Workmanship Warranty

Our Work, Stood Behind For Life

Shepherd Fencing stands behind our workmanship with a Lifetime Workmanship Warranty covering defects in installation — for the lifetime of the product.

LIFETIME

Workmanship Warranty · All Materials

Scope Of Coverage

Structural integrity — free from defects in workmanship that compromise structural integrity, including proper setting of posts, alignment of fence panels, and secure attachment of all components.

Installation quality — all components installed according to industry standards and manufacturer guidelines, including correct spacing, leveling, and fastening.

What's Covered

  • Posts that lean or shift due to inadequate setting
  • Gates that sag, drag, or fail to latch due to installation
  • Panels that pull loose due to faulty fastening
  • Hardware failure caused by improper installation
  • Alignment and plumb issues attributable to our work

Transferability

Our Lifetime Workmanship Warranty is transferable to a new property owner. The new owner must contact Shepherd Fencing within 30 days of property transfer to maintain validity. That's not in most contractors' warranties — we believe in standing behind the install, not just the customer.

5-Year Impact Guarantee

Built To Take A Hit

Beyond workmanship, our fences are built to withstand typical environmental conditions and minor accidental impacts. For 5 years from installation, we guarantee the structural integrity of your fence against everyday accidents.

5 YEARS

Accidental Impact Protection

What's Covered

Structural damage from accidental impacts, including:

  • Lawn maintenance equipment (mowers, trimmers)
  • Minor vehicle contact
  • Falling branches and debris during normal weather

Resolution Options

Repair — we restore the structural integrity of the damaged section. Replacement — if damage is beyond repair, we replace affected components. Prorated refund — based on remaining guarantee period if repair or replacement isn't feasible.

The Impact Guarantee applies only to the original purchaser. It is non-transferable.

What's Not Covered

Honest Exclusions

We believe in being upfront about what's covered and what isn't. The following situations are not covered under our warranties:

  • Severe weather events — hurricanes, tornadoes, and other extreme storms beyond normal weather
  • Deliberate damage or vandalism — including graffiti, intentional damage, and missing or stolen parts
  • Normal wear and tear — color fade on vinyl, natural graying or weathering on wood, oxidation on aluminum finishes, slight settling
  • Lack of maintenance — failure to treat wood against rot or termites, neglected upkeep, etc.
  • External heat sources — damage from grills, fire pits, heaters placed too close to the fence
  • Modifications made by anyone other than Shepherd Fencing after installation
  • Material defects — covered separately under the manufacturer's warranty
  • Repair work — warranty coverage on repair jobs is evaluated on a case-by-case basis at the time of quote, depending on the condition of the existing fence
Beyond the Fine Print

Our Promise

Formal warranties are important — but they're not the whole story. The way we run Shepherd Fencing is built on faith, family, and craftsmanship. If something's off after we leave — even outside the formal warranty window — pick up the phone or send an email.

We can't promise free fixes for every situation. But we can promise an honest conversation and a fair path forward. We'd rather work it out face-to-face than hide behind small print.
