  • Lifetime Warranty

The Only Real Warranty in Decking.

A deck warranty is only as strong as the build. That means every element of your project has to be the best – from the materials, to the crew, to the building standards. Everything must meet or exceed code, the first time.

A Promise You Can Count On

Green Shield's Lifetime Warranty

Green Shield utilizes in-house craftsmen to ensure total accountability. This rigorous engineering process includes a transferable warranty, protecting the investment for both current and future homeowners.

"At Green Shield, decks are all we do – all year long. That’s why we can offer lifetime decks and transferable warranties with 100% confidence and the quality to back it up."
- Adam Rought,
CEO & Founder, Green Shield Deck Builders

Even At Our Own Expense

Green Shield Selects

Best Materials

Components of Every Deck

There are four main components in every build: the foundation, framing, decking, and railing. After decades of research and more than [var:totalDecksBuilt] completed decks, Green Shield has identified and engineered the best, most time-tested collection of materials for durability, stability, and long-term performance.

Foundation

Many composite decks rely on concrete footings that can settle or shift over time. Green Shield uses engineered footing pads designed to resist sinking, ensuring the most structurally sound and supported build available. Each deck post is protected with Rotbloc wrapping at the most vulnerable rot zone where microorganisms and moisture reside.

Foundation

KDAT
Framing

Standard deck builders often stop at minimum code, using builder-grade 4x4 posts. The Green Shield standard is high-grade number 1 Southern Yellow Pine 6x6 deck posts, and a deck frame that is kiln dried or “pre-shrunk.”

Framing

Rice Hull Composite
Decking

Standard composite boards often use moisture-trapping wood-filler. Green Shield utilizes water-resistant rice hull cores fully capped in EPL resin. Additionally, integrated heat-blocking technology reduces thermal retention, keeping surfaces cooler and safer for feet and paws. This smarter engineering ensures a durable, high-performance deck that defies the elements.

Aluminum
Deck Railing

Typical wood railing can be upgraded by wrapping in vinyl or composite sleeves, but these are prone to rot, cracking, or mold, and can lead to injury. Green Shield installs only commercial grade, powder-coated aluminum deck railing that’s impervious to water, rust-resistant, available in a variety of styles, and built to last the life of the deck.

Green Shield provides all-in-one pricing that covers the entire process: design, permitting, inspections, construction, and warranty. By streamlining the experience, Green Shield eliminates the guesswork, ensuring the only outcome is a deck that exceeds expectations.
