A failing deck in Rhode Island
This is what we were called out to look at — rot at the ledger and a structure coming away from the house. Sometimes the honest answer is that it has to come down.

Why us
Built to last through a New England winter.
A deck has to get structure, footings, flashing, drainage, and railing height right or it becomes a problem a few winters down the road. We pull the permits, build it to code, and make sure the water goes where it is supposed to. If your existing deck just needs boards and railings rather than a full rebuild, we will tell you that too.
What this work includes
- New deck design and construction
- Deck rebuilds and board replacement
- Porches and covered outdoor spaces
- Stairs, railings, and framing repair
- Pergolas and outdoor structures
- Exterior trim and siding repair

“Ethan took care of every detail, asking QUALITY questions on small details I hadn’t thought of but in the end knew would make a huge difference. … They cleaned up extremely well after each work day which was noticed and appreciated.”

“Shining Armor was quickly available, did a great job, and was very affordable. There was never a problem when we would make a change or addition to our “to do” list.”
