Selecting The Right Material For Your Needs
We help you choose decking based on your priorities—whether that's initial investment, maintenance commitment, appearance preferences, or specific performance requirements.
- Wood Decking - Suits homeowners who appreciate natural grain patterns and don't mind periodic staining or sealing maintenance.
- Pressure-Treated Wood - Works well for budget-conscious projects where chemical rot resistance provides adequate protection at lower cost.
- Softwood Decking - Like cedar and redwood fits properties where natural beauty and moderate maintenance create the desired balance.
- Hardwood Decking - Ipe, Tigerwood, and Cumaru matches high-traffic applications requiring exceptional scratch resistance and minimal upkeep.
- Composite Decking - Serves families seeking low-maintenance surfaces with consistent color and texture that won't splinter or require refinishing.
- PVC Decking - Meets requirements for complete waterproofing and stain resistance where moisture exposure or cleaning frequency matters most.
What Works Best
Deck Designs Focused On How You'll Use The Space
We build decks around intended activities, ensuring layouts support the experiences you want to create in your outdoor areas.
Platform Decks
Simple, accessible surfaces ideal for grilling, container gardening, or transitioning smoothly from sliding doors to backyard grass.
Raised Decks
Elevated entries perfect for homes with walkout basements or properties where entertaining guests at main-floor level makes practical sense.
Multi-Level Decks
Separated platforms that organize activities naturally—upper levels for dining, lower sections for fire pits or hot tubs, connected by built-in stairs.
Freestanding Decks
Independent platforms positioned for optimal sun exposure, privacy from neighbors, or proximity to pools and garden features.
Rooftop Decks
Converted roof surfaces that create outdoor rooms with panoramic views while adding square footage without expanding building footprint.
Pool and Spa Decks
Surrounding areas designed for wet feet and poolside lounging, with drainage that prevents puddling around water features.
Curved or Cantilevered Decks
Custom shapes that wrap around trees, extend over slopes, or create distinctive profiles that make outdoor spaces memorable.
Screened or Covered Decks
Protected platforms that let you enjoy fresh air during light rain while keeping insects away during summer evenings.
Privacy Screen Decks
Semi-enclosed designs with strategic screening that creates intimate spaces without sacrificing natural light or air circulation.
Construction Backed By Comprehensive Protection
Outdoor Space Builders guarantees every installation with workmanship warranties and manufacturer material coverage. Our quality construction methods ensure your deck delivers reliable performance and lasting value.

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
