Details of Mandon's Deck Story

There is nothing more frustrating for a homeowner than being left with a torn-up yard and a broken promise. That feeling of being deserted is exactly why Green Shield exists—to provide the structural integrity and professional reliability that the industry often lacks.

After a year-long nightmare with a different company that left a demoed mess and a lost deposit, Green Shield stepped in to provide a clear path forward.

From start to finish, the Green Shield process was defined by transparency. While other builders leave homeowners stranded, Green Shield prioritizes consistent communication. The nightly updates and progress photos from our team provided the technical assurance and project oversight that defines Green Shield standards.

Choosing Green Shield turned a failed project into a premier outdoor living space. For any homeowner looking for a build rooted in honesty and craftsmanship, Green Shield is the expert to call.

What Went into Mandon's Deck

Rice Hull Difference
Ash Gray Composite Deck Boards

Ash Gray rice hull composite boards define the standard for this build. Green Shield utilizes rice hull composite because it remains cooler underfoot and eliminates the risk of splintering. While aesthetics set the tone, the engineering ensures the deck remains a permanent fixture of the home. Green Shield backs this craftsmanship with a lifetime warranty, providing homeowners with a premier outdoor living space that is built to endure.

Powder Coated Aluminum
Black Baluster Deck Railing

Green Shield installs aluminum baluster railing as a structural standard. While wood or vinyl decomposes, aluminum provides a low-maintenance, premier solution. Our team prioritizes these high-performance components so homeowners can enjoy a permanent, secure build.

Upgrades on Every Deck
Green Shield Deck Stairs

Green Shield engineers all stairs to a 4-foot minimum width using five stringers rather than the industry-standard three. While others settle for basic code, Green Shield prioritizes this reinforced foundation to ensure superior stability and structural integrity. By eliminating the 'bounce' found in standard builds, our team delivers a premier staircase designed to last the lifetime of the homeowner's deck.
