What Works Best
Deck Designs Matched To Your Property
We specialize in creating deck configurations that solve site challenges, complement existing architecture, and fulfill your functional requirements with thoughtful design solutions.
Platform Designs
Close-to-ground decks work beautifully on level properties, offering easy access without stairs and creating seamless flow between your home's interior and outdoor landscaping.
Raised Designs
Elevated construction addresses sloped terrain and high foundations while capturing better views, improving drainage, and creating sheltered space below for storage or outdoor use.
Multi-Level Designs
Tiered deck systems adapt to challenging topography while organizing space into distinct zones for grilling, dining, and lounging. Multiple levels add dimension and visual interest to large outdoor areas.
Freestanding Designs
Independent deck structures positioned away from the house create destination spaces perfect for hot tubs, fire pits, or garden seating that don't require attachment to existing structures.
Rooftop Designs
Urban and multi-story properties gain valuable outdoor square footage by converting flat roofs into functional decks with proper waterproofing, railings, and safe access systems.
Pool and Spa Designs
Specialty decking around water features incorporates slip-resistant surfaces, proper slope for drainage, and moisture-resistant materials that handle constant exposure to splashing and humidity.
Curved and Cantilevered Designs
Distinctive architectural features like flowing curves and extended overhangs create modern aesthetics, follow landscape contours, and expand usable area beyond standard rectangular footprints.
Covered and Screened Designs
Weather-protected decks with roof structures and insect screening extend comfortable outdoor time through rain, intense sun, and bug season while maintaining open-air benefits.
Privacy-Enhanced Designs
Strategic screen placement, tall railings, and thoughtful orientation establish private sanctuaries that buffer street views and neighboring properties without creating closed-in feelings.

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
