About Oshkosh & Why Our Work Lasts Here

Oshkosh sits on the western shore of Lake Winnebago, and that location shapes what your deck needs to endure. Lakefront properties in the Riverfront and Algoma neighborhoods face elevated moisture exposure — spray, humidity, and standing water after storms. Composite decking is our top recommendation for those sites because it won’t absorb the moisture that causes wood to rot, check, and splinter over time.

The EAA AirVenture event brings roughly 600,000 visitors to Oshkosh each summer, and many homeowners have turned their properties into short-term rentals to capitalize on the demand. A composite deck with clean railing lines and low maintenance needs is a genuine return-on-investment upgrade for Airbnb hosts. On the North Side and in Mercury Park, where younger families have moved in, we see strong demand for straightforward pressure-treated decks that maximize outdoor space on standard residential lots — durable, clean, and code-compliant from day one.
