About Ricky and Danielle's Deck Project

Green Shield recently partnered with Ricky and Danielle, homeowners in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to solve a critical safety issue: a dangerously eroded deck. What began as a structural necessity evolved into a modern, custom-engineered outdoor living space.

During the design phase, a Green Shield Deck Designer provided clear visualizations and expert suggestions to bridge the gap between the couple’s vision and a functional reality. By expanding the deck’s footprint and integrating a custom safety gate for their young son, Green Shield ensured the new build met premier safety standards without compromising on design.

Efficiency remains a Green Shield hallmark. The crew, arrived ahead of schedule to begin the transformation. The result is a low maintenance deck that eliminates the burden of staining and painting. While the new space is visually stunning, its true value lies in the durability of the engineering. Ricky and Danielle no longer worry about structural decay; instead, the family focuses on grilling and spending time together on a deck built for a lifetime.
