Green Shield will always follow the strictest code rules anywhere our crews build. Our craftsmen and permitting teams pride themselves on knowing how to build the best decks that exceed local building codes and homeowners expectations. Every Green Shield deck comes with upgrades to help ensure that your deck exceeds code and is built to last a lifetime including: deck stairs that come with five stringers and deck posts upgraded to 6x6 posts
Building Code
Building code is the standards to which licensed builders are expected to build in a given area. There are lots of different building codes across the nation and internationally. Figuring out which rules apply in your area can be a challenge and cause delays in permit approval and building inspections. Make sure when selecting your deck builder that they know the local building code and ordinances for decks in your area.
The Green Shield Difference
"Green Shield will always check on local code requirements and make sure your deck meets or exceeds them. Building a deck that lasts means building it right from the ground up."

Permits can be a headache for homeowners and can cost $1000 or more on top of construction costs. Green Shield includes the cost of permitting in our flat rate quote, giving homeowners peace of mind.
