We recommend decking materials selected for their ability to withstand Tolland County's climate challenges while maintaining structural integrity and attractive appearance through years of seasonal exposure.
- Pressure-Treated Wood - Combines affordability with chemical protection against rot, insect damage, and moisture infiltration, delivering dependable performance that serves budget-conscious projects with proper ongoing maintenance.
- Cedar and Redwood - Showcase natural softwood beauty with rich tones and aromatic properties that naturally discourage insects and resist decay, developing attractive weathered patina or retaining original color with regular treatment.
- Exotic Hardwoods - Ipe, Tigerwood, and Cumaru provide superior density, dramatic natural colors, and remarkable durability that outperforms standard materials in scratch resistance, UV stability, and moisture tolerance.
- Composite Decking - Blends wood fiber technology with polymer protection to produce surfaces that resist warping, fading, and moisture damage while eliminating splinters and reducing maintenance to occasional cleaning.
- PVC Decking - Delivers fully synthetic performance that prevents moisture absorption completely, requires no sealing or refinishing, and maintains consistent appearance through continuous exposure to sun, rain, and temperature fluctuations.
What Works Best
Custom Deck Configurations For Unique Properties
We design decks that address Tolland County's diverse landscapes and architectural styles, creating outdoor solutions matched to your property's specific characteristics and intended use.
Platform Configurations
Near-grade deck designs provide accessible outdoor living space on level properties with streamlined construction that minimizes steps and creates natural transitions from interior rooms to gardens and yards.
Raised Configurations
Elevated deck platforms solve challenges posed by sloped terrain and high foundations while capturing enhanced views across Tolland County's scenic landscape and establishing usable covered space below your deck surface.
Multi-Level Configurations
Tiered deck systems organize expansive outdoor areas into functional zones for cooking, dining, and entertaining. Stepped configurations add architectural depth while managing grade variations that complicate single-level deck construction.
Freestanding Configurations
Independent deck structures positioned strategically across your property create dedicated spaces for hot tubs, fire features, or contemplative seating that operate separately from your home with their own structural support.
Rooftop Configurations
Capitalize on unused roof areas by converting flat surfaces into accessible outdoor living space with engineered rooftop decking, proper waterproofing systems, and secure stairway access for expanded outdoor square footage
Pool and Spa Configurations
Specialized decking around aquatic features incorporates slip-resistant finishes, efficient water drainage, and moisture-resistant materials that accommodate wet conditions, chemical exposure, and barefoot traffic patterns.
Curved and Cantilevered Configurations
Architectural details like radius edges and extended platforms introduce modern design sophistication, follow organic landscape contours, and expand usable deck space without requiring additional foundation footprint.
Covered and Screened Configurations
Weather-protected decks with roofing systems and insect screening prolong comfortable outdoor enjoyment through rainy weather, intense sunshine, and mosquito season while preserving fresh-air connection to your surroundings.
Privacy-Enhanced Configurations
Strategic screen integration, opaque railing sections, and thoughtful deck orientation create private outdoor sanctuaries that buffer sightlines from roadways and adjacent properties without producing enclosed feelings.
Superior Craftsmanship With Comprehensive Warranties
Outdoor Space Builders maintains exceptional construction standards through skilled installation professionals, code-compliant building practices, and premium materials from trusted manufacturers. We coordinate permit submissions, manage required inspections, and back our work with warranty coverage protecting both labor and materials.

We heard about Joe from Outdoor Space Builders from our daughter and Son-in-Law. They contracted with him to do their deck, which came out awesome.
From the moment we met Joe, we were impressed by him. He was personable, friendly and very knowledgable about his craft. He took the time to explain the value of TimberTech decks and the many options to select from.
Once the Job started, Joe and his crew (Eric & Eddie), showed up promptly each morning They were friendly, courteous and took the time to answer any questions we had during the project. When the project was finished, they cleaned everything up.The guys were great!
We had never seen a deck like ours. A herringbone pattern was designed for our grill area and a contrasting color door mat was designed in front of our sliders. I could go on… The quality of the work along with attention to detail and artistic design was outstanding!
We were very pleased with the deck. We have already received many complements from friends and neighbors. We highly recommend Joe and Outdoor Space Builders. You won’t be disappointed.
I can’t say enough good things about OSB but more importantly, the owner Joe whom I had the pleasure of dealing with directly. Personable, friendly, courteous, even humorous at times, exceptionally knowledgeable about his craft and a creative thinker. I contacted Joe about a deck for my home this past summer. Joe took my idea and painted a picture of beauty given the obstacles he had to work around based on the design of my home. Outstanding communication and responsive. I didn’t have any issues getting a response to my questions or concerns. I highly recommend OSB if you need to create or rethink your outdoor space.
I was blessed to have found Joe and his crew from Outdoor Space Builders. I am planning to retire soon and am trying to update the house. I had a few workers in to update the electric, install new windows, and I have been so overcharged, and run through the mill with difficulties. By chance I got a call from Joe when I inquired about my deck. The real problem was the 1949 “screen porch” that was in such bad disrepair, it could have been blown down in a bad storm. I also had a hot tub and wanted a nicer place to relax. Joe had a fabulous vision and was so easy too talk to and through the project was always checking to find the best approach and design. I couldn’t have imagined how it would look but I couldn’t be more thrilled with the care and result. I am so sorry I doubted him for a second. I hope he will do my deck and the other proojects I am saving up for.
Sincerely, Audrey
