The Deck Company’s History: Building Outdoor Living Since 2002
Built From the Ground Up
Every great outdoor space begins with a vision. For The Deck Company of America, the vision began in 2002 with founder Michael Ormsby, a borrowed hammer, and a borrowed saw. What started with a few basic tools and a commitment to doing excellent work has grown into one of the region’s most trusted names in decks and outdoor living.
Today, The Deck Company serves homeowners throughout Springfield and Southwest Missouri, the Kansas City area, and Northwest Arkansas. The company builds more than 300 decks each year and has helped thousands of families transform ordinary backyards into places where life happens.
More Than Two Decades of Outdoor Living Experience
Since its founding, The Deck Company has grown alongside the families and communities it serves. Backyards have changed considerably over the past two decades. They are no longer viewed as an afterthought or simply a patch of grass behind the house. For many homeowners, the backyard has become a true extension of the home—a place to cook, relax, entertain, celebrate, and spend meaningful time together.
The Deck Company has continued to evolve to meet those changing needs. While custom deck construction remains at the heart of the business, the team’s capabilities now extend far beyond decks. Homeowners can turn to one experienced outdoor-living contractor for screened porches, concrete patios, fencing, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, patio furniture, grills and other features that bring a complete backyard vision together.
A Reputation Built on Quality and Customer Trust
Growth is meaningful, but the finished spaces and the people who enjoy them tell the real story. Reviews from Deck Company customers consistently mention responsive communication, dependable service, thoughtful design, and craftsmanship that goes beyond expectations. Customers also describe team members noticing details they had not considered and helping turn an idea into a space that feels personal.
Quality also means giving homeowners choices that fit both their style and their expectations for long-term performance. The Deck Company focuses on products that can withstand everyday use and changing regional weather conditions. Skilled installation brings those materials together, but the experience begins earlier—with practical guidance, clear options and a design that reflects the home. That combination of strong products, thoughtful planning and experienced craftsmanship has helped customers feel confident recommending the company to friends, neighbors and family.
Growing Without Losing Sight of the Mission
From its beginnings in Southwest Missouri, The Deck Company has expanded its reach to serve the Kansas City metro and communities across Northwest Arkansas. This wider service area gives more homeowners access to an experienced deck builder while preserving the quality standards that fueled the company’s growth.
The team is also proud to use its work to support the communities it calls home. The Deck Company has contributed outdoor projects to charity events and auctions and has supported organizations serving families throughout the region. Its involvement with the St. Jude Dream Home is another meaningful example of using craftsmanship and resources to help make a difference beyond the backyard.
