Our Story

How We Look at a Deck

We build and repair decks for homeowners around Canton and the towns nearby, and most calls start with a board that feels soft underfoot or a set of stairs that's started to lean. We got into this because framing is the part a lot of builders rush, and it's the part that decides whether a deck is still standing in ten years.

The failure we see most is a ledger board pulling away from the house because it was never flashed or bolted right the first time. We through-bolt every ledger, flash it so water can't get behind the board, and check the joist hangers for rust before we decide a repair is even worth doing.

Why Choose Us

What you get when you hire us

None of this is complicated. It is mostly just doing what we said we would do.

Licensed & Insured

We're licensed and insured for deck construction work, and we'll show you certificates if you ask. That matters most if something goes wrong on your property, not just on the day everything goes right.

Built to Code

Guardrail height, baluster spacing and footing depth all follow the building code for decks, not just what looks close enough. We'll pull a permit when a deck needs one and get it inspected instead of hoping nobody asks.

Written Quotes

Every quote breaks down the framing, decking material and railing separately, so you can see where the money's going. If you want to swap composite boards for pressure-treated pine to save money, we'll adjust the number on paper, not just quote a new figure over the phone.

Own Crew

We don't hand the framing to one crew and the finish work to another. The same guys who set the footings are the ones screwing down the last deck board, so nothing gets lost between subcontractors.

Material Options

Composite boards cost more up front but skip the sanding and restaining every couple of years. Pressure-treated pine costs less and looks just as good once it's sealed, so we'll lay out the real tradeoff instead of pushing the pricier option.

Clean Job Site

A deck teardown or rebuild leaves scrap wood and loose screws behind if nobody's careful about it. We sweep for stray fasteners and haul off the old lumber before we call a job finished.

Common Questions

Things people ask us

Questions about who's actually doing the work.

How long has Oasis Deck Co been building decks?
Oasis Deck Co brings hands-on deck construction experience to every project, covering new builds, repairs and full rebuilds. Framing knowledge, not just finish carpentry, is what separates a deck that lasts from one that doesn't.
Do you use your own crew or subcontractors?
Deck framing and finish work are handled by the same in-house crew rather than passed off to subcontractors. The people who set the footings are the same ones installing the railings and final boards.
Can I see examples of past deck projects?
Photos of completed deck installations, repairs and staining jobs are available on request, showing framing details like joist spacing and ledger flashing that aren't visible once a deck is finished. Seeing the framing stage matters more than seeing the finished boards.
Why hire a smaller deck builder instead of a large contracting company?
A smaller deck-focused crew tends to give more direct attention to framing details like footing depth, ledger flashing and joist hanger quality, since decks are the core focus rather than one line item among many trades. Larger general contractors sometimes subcontract deck framing to the lowest bidder.
Where is Oasis Deck Co based?
Oasis Deck Co is based in Canton, MS, and serves surrounding towns within roughly a 50-mile radius, including Jackson, Madison and Ridgeland.
How far out is scheduling typically booked?
Scheduling availability shifts with the season, with spring and early summer being the busiest stretch for deck construction in Mississippi. Fall and winter often have shorter lead times for starting a new project.
Do you clean up the job site after finishing a deck?
Old decking, cut-off lumber and loose fasteners are cleared from the property before a deck project is considered complete. A magnetic sweep for stray nails and screws is standard practice around the finished work area.
What happens if something gets damaged during construction?
A licensed and insured deck contractor carries liability coverage that addresses accidental property damage, such as a footing excavation hitting a sprinkler line or landscaping getting disturbed. This should be confirmed with proof of insurance before work begins.
Will you finish a deck that another contractor started or abandoned?
Yes, taking over a partially built or abandoned deck project is common, but it starts with inspecting the existing framing, footings and any code compliance issues before continuing. Work that doesn't meet code or span requirements sometimes needs to be redone rather than built onto.
How can I tell if deck work is being done correctly?
Correct deck construction shows footings poured below the frost line, a ledger board that's through-bolted and flashed rather than just nailed, joist hangers rated for outdoor use, and railing baluster spacing that meets the 4-inch code rule. Asking to see these details during construction, before the decking boards cover them, is the easiest way to check the work.
