Deck Bracing

Green Shield distinguishes itself through a "no-surprises" process, in-house permit management, and a specialized focus on composite materials that outperform traditional wood.

Traditional wood requires yearly sealing and can fail in as little as 10–15 years. Green Shield wood-free boards are engineered to last for a lifetime and require zero staining, saving homeowners tens of thousands in labor and material costs.

Green Shield focuses on creating personalized outdoor environments and “second living rooms” that serve as a seamless extension of the home. Our team utilizes premier aesthetics and structural innovations, like integrated beams, to match modern architectural lines.

Homeowners can expect an 80–100% ROI. This is bolstered by the low maintenance nature of the boards, which eliminates the ongoing costs of staining and sealing.

By using wood-free materials, KDAT framing, and engineered footing solutions, Green Shield prevents the internal moisture absorption and ground-heave issues that cause standard decks to shift, expand, and crack during temperature swings.

Yes! Green Shield engineers the industry’s premier multi-level decks, specialized for even the most difficult terrain. As America’s #1 deck builder, the company delivers reliably engineered solutions that transform steep or uneven landscapes into high-performance outdoor living spaces.

Yes! Green Shield is known for handling permits for every project. Year round, our permitting department works with local municipalities to make sure your deck is safe, up to local ordinances, and inside your property lines. 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.

Every year more than 55,000 people are injured by a deck or wood porch. In 2022-2023 the Consumer Product Safety Commission estimated more than 30,000 seniors ages 65 years and older were injured due to a fall on a deck, porch, or balcony. With more than half of the 60 million decks in the United States in need of repair or replacement, your deck should be checked annually for issues.
