Materials Selected For Coastal Performance
We specify decking materials engineered to withstand New London County's coastal moisture, salt exposure, and seasonal weather while maintaining structural integrity and attractive appearance.
- Pressure-Treated Wood - Delivers cost-effective reliability with chemical protection that resists moisture penetration, fungal decay, and termite damage, providing dependable service with routine maintenance.
- Cedar and Redwood - Offer naturally beautiful softwoods with aromatic oils that discourage insects and resist rot, developing rich patina over time or maintaining original color with periodic treatment.
- Exotic Hardwoods - Ipe, Tigerwood, and Cumaru provide exceptional density, striking natural tones, and superior resistance to moisture, scratching, and UV fading that outperform conventional decking materials.
- Composite Decking - Merges wood fiber content with protective polymer shells to create surfaces that resist salt air corrosion, color fading, and moisture warping while eliminating splinters and annual refinishing.
- PVC Decking - Features fully synthetic composition that blocks moisture completely, resists mold and mildew growth, and maintains appearance without staining or sealing, ideal for waterfront and high-humidity locations.
What Works Best
Diverse Deck Configurations For Coastal Living
We create deck designs that respond to New London County's varied terrain, from waterfront properties to inland hills, with configurations matched to your site and lifestyle.
Platform Configurations
Near-ground decks provide accessible outdoor spaces on level properties with simple construction that minimizes material costs while creating comfortable transitions from interior to landscape areas.
Raised Configurations
Elevated platforms address sloped topography and high water tables common in coastal areas while capturing water views, enhancing drainage, and establishing covered space below for boat storage or outdoor equipment.
Multi-Level Configurations
Stepped deck systems organize sloping sites into functional tiers for grilling, dining, and relaxation. Cascading levels add architectural dimension while managing grade changes that challenge single-plane deck construction.
Freestanding Configurations
Independent deck structures positioned strategically on your property create destination areas for hot tubs, fire features, or waterfront viewing platforms that operate separately from your home's structure.
Rooftop Configurations
Maximize limited property footprints by converting flat roofs into outdoor living space with engineered rooftop decks, proper waterproofing membranes, and safe access solutions for urban and waterfront properties.
Pool and Spa Configurations
Specialized construction around water features incorporates slip-resistant textures, efficient drainage systems, and moisture-tolerant materials that handle constant splashing, wet feet, and chemical exposure from pool treatments.
Curved and Cantilevered Configurations
Distinctive design elements including flowing curves and extended overhangs create contemporary aesthetics, follow shoreline contours naturally, and expand functional area without increasing foundation requirements.
Covered and Screened Configurations
Sheltered deck spaces with roof systems and insect mesh extend comfortable outdoor time during rain, intense summer sun, and heavy mosquito seasons while maintaining open-air connection to your surroundings.
Privacy-Enhanced Configurations
Strategic screen placement, solid railing panels, and thoughtful deck orientation establish private outdoor zones that shield your space from marina activity, beach traffic, or close neighboring properties.
Construction Quality That Endures Coastal Conditions
Outdoor Space Builders commits to building standards that address New London County’s challenging environment through corrosion-resistant fasteners, proper ventilation design, and materials proven in marine climates. We navigate local permitting requirements, coordinate municipal inspections, and back our work with comprehensive warranties. Our focus on engineered foundation systems, reinforced structural framing, and quality finishing protects your investment while ensuring decades of dependable performance.

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
