Maybe your Canton backyard falls away from the house, and the back door opens onto a long drop. Maybe the old deck has soft boards and a railing you’ve stopped leaning on. Either way, you’re deciding who to call.
CHL Services is a deck builder in Canton, GA. We build in Trex composite and pressure-treated wood, and we add railings, lighting, covered decks, screened porches, and patios.
Some homeowners want new boards on the same footprint. Others want more room, a roof overhead, or a plan for the ground beneath the deck. We’ll tell you plainly what your lot allows and what it will take, and we build for homeowners in nearby Ball Ground and Waleska, too. Tell us a little about your project, and we’ll call to talk it through.

Decks and Outdoor Rooms Built for Canton’s Hills
Custom Decks
Canton’s hills put many back doors well above the grass, often with a walk-out level below. As a custom deck builder in Canton, we measure the slope first, since it sets post height, stair length, and where a landing belongs. Then we place seating, grill space, and stairs around how you’ll use the deck.
Composite Decking
Staining a deck that sits a full story above a slope means ladders and a long weekend every few years. Trex needs no staining and resists mold. As a Trex deck builder, we set joists 12 inches on center, closer than the 16 inches Trex allows, so boards stay firm and are less likely to cup.
Replacing an Older Wood Deck
Some homes near downtown Canton are decades older than the subdivisions around them, and their decks show it in soft boards and rot near the posts. We first check how the ledger, the board that ties the deck to the house, is attached. As a wood deck builder, we tear out the old deck, haul it away, and rebuild in pressure-treated wood with 6×6 posts bolted to the rim.
A Dry Patio Under a Walk-Out Deck
A raised deck on a hillside leaves usable ground underneath. As a custom deck builder, we plan the deck, a concrete or paver patio below, and an underdeck ceiling that keeps that space dry as one project, so the footings, posts, and drainage line up.
Screening In Your Deck
A screened porch keeps insects out while the breeze moves through, and a ceiling fan helps on a humid evening. As a screened porch builder, we can screen all or part of your deck and add lighting, TV wiring, or a privacy wall. First, we check that the framing can carry the added roof.
Finishing a Walk-Out Basement, Bath, or Kitchen
If your deck sits above a walk-out level, that space can become a room of its own. As an outdoor living contractor that also remodels, we turn it into a bedroom, guest suite, or theater with its own door to the yard. We also rebuild bathrooms and update kitchens in the rooms above.
Sloped-Lot Decks and Screened Porches We’ve Built Across North Atlanta
What Deck Builders in Canton Need to Know
Canton sits in the foothills north of Atlanta, and the Etowah River runs through the center of town. Etowah River Park lines its banks with walking trails, pavilions, and a canoe launch.
We build in neighborhoods like Great Sky, River Green, and Venetian Golf & River Club. Where your lot slopes or the house has a walk-out basement, we measure the grade and stair runs on site before we finalize the design. Some subdivisions here also have an HOA, which reviews a deck separately from the permit.
Summer humidity is part of the plan, too, since it decides how often a wood deck needs cleaning and fresh stain. As a deck builder in Canton, we also build in Holly Springs, Woodstock, Hickory Flat, Acworth, and Kennesaw. Our Canton service area includes the following ZIP codes: 30114, 30115, 30169, 30107, and 30183.
