We at Dakota Storage Buildings value your business. Our commitment to you is that we will take responsibility for any manufacture related deficiencies, and your satisfaction is our guarantee.

All buildings manufactured by Dakota Storage Buildings, LLC come with a Top to Bottom Limited Warranty Certificate. Warranties are nontransferable and apply only to the original purchaser and location. Relocating products by any party automatically invalidates these warranties.

These warranties do not apply to any Dakota Storage Buildings, LLC product or part which has been damaged by adverse weather conditions, earthquake, hail, wind, fire, water, flood, earth movement, accidents, theft, vandalism, an act of God, or any instance customarily covered by homeowners insurance.

When used appropriately and maintained properly, Dakota Storage Buildings, LLC guarantees that products will remain structurally sound. Normal wear and tear, fading of exterior surfaces, and general aging, which is characteristic of any outdoor product that is exposed to natural elements, is not covered under the warranties.

As with any building which is located on top of the ground, settling may occur. Buildings need periodic cleaning, painting, and caulking, and vegetation should not be planted around the edges of the structure, which could lead to restricted ventilation.

This is something that must always be checked into with your local municipality, county or city business officials. Most buildings require permits, especially for residents in a town or city where there are often restrictions on size, color, or placement of a building. Check out our building permits page that details how and where to go to find out what is required in your area. 

Building Permits

A deposit of at least $800 is needed with nearly all our buildings, though this may vary with specialty buildings. Preferred payment methods for making a deposit are check and money order, though we do also accept credit card.
