OXFORD, CONNECTICUT — Outdoor Space Builders, a family-owned outdoor living company serving Connecticut for over 30 years, has been awarded third place in the Framing Under $70k category at the 2025 NADRA National+ Deck Competition. The award was presented at the North American Deck and Railing Association’s 16th Annual Awards Celebration held January 8, 2026, in Clearwater Beach, Florida.

The NADRA National Deck Competition draws entries from deck building professionals across North America. A panel of industry experts evaluates projects based on use of space, innovation, degree of difficulty, and evidence of craftsmanship. The Framing category recognizes excellence in structural construction, the foundation that determines a project’s longevity, safety, and integrity.

This national recognition adds to Outdoor Space Builders’ growing collection of industry awards, which includes Struxure Commercial Project of the Year 2024, an Azek Deck Award, the Tiva Deck of the Month designation, and the 2025 Perfect Plug Champion recognition.

Founded in the early 1990s by co-founders Don and Joe, Outdoor Space Builders has completed more than 3,000 projects across Connecticut. The company began as a home remodeling business before pivoting to become dedicated outdoor living specialists, focusing exclusively on decks, patios, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, and other exterior living spaces.

Outdoor Space Builders operates with fully in-house construction teams rather than subcontractors, maintaining direct oversight and accountability on every project. The company holds partnerships with industry-leading manufacturers and offers 3D design capabilities, financing options, and a lifetime workmanship warranty on all work.
