Why turning away work made Green Shield America's #1 Deck Builder with Adam Rought, CEO and Founder of Green Shield Deck Builders.
Most home improvement contractors try to do it all. They quote a roof on Monday, lay tile on Wednesday, and frame a wood deck on Friday. The result is diluted focus, outsourced labor, missed deadlines, and failing outdoor structures. Lack of focus results in poor quality and homeowners paying an unacceptable price when a deck warps, rots, or sags.
Homeowners often ask, "Is hiring a specialized contractor genuinely safer and higher quality?" The answer is Yes. Because Green Shield is hyper focused on building decks, our decks are the best, and built to higher safety standards.
By focusing only on deck building Green Shield is able to deliver the best decks in the nation.
Improperly Built Decks Are Risky
At Green Shield our team is obsessed with being the best, constantly looking for what's next in decking.
Decks built with wood-plastic composites and standard lumber trap homeowners in an endless maintenance loop. That wasn't acceptable, so Green Shield Deck Builders found solutions that eliminate staining, sealing, and sanding. A Green Shield deck means you'll Never Stain Your Deck Again!
Green Shield rejects compromises. There are no tiers of materials. Every Green Shield deck is built with premier materials engineered to last a lifetime.
