Video Description
Building along Michigan’s beautiful shorelines is an exciting milestone, but creating a low-maintenance outdoor space that lasts a lifetime requires navigating complex regulations.
Typically, waterfront construction requires a Joint Permit Application (JPA)—a detailed process requiring coordinated approvals from both the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
While some builders treat these regulations as an afterthought—resulting in unexpected fees and delays for homeowners—Green Shield manages the complexity upfront. Green Shield’s honest, all-in-one pricing covers the entire JPA process from start to finish. Green Shield's team handles every detail of the EGLE and USACE approvals, managing the paperwork so homeowners can focus on their vision of a reliably engineered build.
