Its website describes residential decking services in Oxford, CT, names 15 towns as its service area, including Monroe, Trumbull and Shelton, and says the company has been in business 30 years. It holds 4.8 stars from 25 Google ratings. A 2026 customer living in a log home said Joe, who owns the business, came out the same day they called to discuss re-securing a post and beam. That 2026 customer said the work was completed that day, and that a small beam kept in the closet was installed as a mantle over the fireplace. A 2025 customer said Joe came out the day after they made contact and gave an estimate that night to replace and expand a rotting DIY deck, with options for the decking and railing. A 2025 reviewer described a deck with a herringbone design laid out for the grill area and said everything was cleaned up when the project finished. A 2024 customer said OSB reinforced the existing framing beneath a TimberTech deck. A 2024 customer said Joe and his crew repaired the railing system on their deck and cleaned up after themselves each night. A recent customer said Don came to look at a deck rebuilding job in May and promised an estimate within a couple of days, but after several follow-ups there was still no estimate. **Strengths:** - Deck replacement — a 2025 customer had a rotting DIY deck replaced and expanded - Same-day visit — a 2026 customer said Joe came out the day they called - Railing repair — a 2024 customer said the crew cleaned up each night **Concerns:** - Missing estimate — a recent customer had none after several follow-ups ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - 4.8 stars from 25 Google ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Outdoor%20Space%20Builders&query_place_id=ChIJcY4pAidB2yIRoYcjxocsJOg) — “Google: 4.8★ from 25 ratings” - Describes residential decking services in Oxford, CT and says it has been in business 30 years _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://www.osbct.com) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): Our ServicesDeckingOutdoor LivingStructuresDecking ServicesServicesResidential DeckingCommercial DeckingDec…” - [Official Website](https://www.osbct.com) — “Self-reported 30 years in business” - A 2025 customer had a rotting DIY deck replaced and expanded _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT21sNlgySlpWMjFNYVVkcFMzZGhiMlp3ZVZBeFdYYxAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xe8242c87c62387a1!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOml6X2JZV21MaUdpS3dhb2ZweVAxWXc%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ I only write reviews for extremely good or extremely bad place/services because I appreciate when others do the same.
