- Softwood Decking - Delivers natural rot resistance with cedar and redwood species that age to attractive silver-gray patinas without treatment.

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
