Deck Building & Repair for Minnesota Homes

Custom decks built to handle Midwest weather and years of outdoor living.
Licensed • Insured • Free Estimates
Most inspections take less than 30 minutes.

At Shield Pro Exteriors, we design and build decks that hold up to Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow loads, and hot summers. Whether you're adding a new deck or replacing one that's showing its age, our crews use materials and construction methods built to last.

Signs Your Deck Needs Attention

Warped, cracked, or splintering boards

Wood that's cupping, splitting, or splintering underfoot is a sign the deck surface is breaking down.

Loose or wobbly railings

Railings that shift or flex are a safety concern, not just a repair item.

Rust or corrosion on fasteners

Rusted screws, bolts, or brackets weaken the structure even when the wood looks fine.

Soft spots or sagging

Sagging boards or joists often mean moisture damage underneath.

Deck is 15+ years old

Older decks built to older codes may need updates to railings, footings, or fasteners.
