Green Shield Deck Builders is able to construct new decks during the winter months by planning ahead. The entire design of our Winter Reskin program is to make sure the right kinds of projects are scheduled for cold weather construction in the right geographical areas. Our crews also have years of experience building decks in the winter. As dedicated craftsmen, Green Shield crews work to keep their skills in top form all winter long, braving the elements and getting the job done right.
Other construction companies do not have the volume of work or expertise needed to build in the winter. Most construction crews would rather take a long break over the winter months. Green Shield’s craftsmen have chosen instead to continue building as part of America's #1 deck builder.
