If your deck sits high off the ground, the boards have gone soft, or you don’t have a deck yet, you’re deciding who to call. CHL Services is a deck builder in Acworth. We build in Trex composite and pressure-treated wood, and we add railings, lighting, covered decks, screened porches, and sunrooms.
Some homeowners want to replace a second-story deck. Others want a larger deck, a roof overhead, or an enclosed room. Homes near the lakes can mean damp ground and full sun on a lake-facing deck, and we plan around both. We’ll tell you plainly which parts of a job are worth the money. We work in Acworth, with Kennesaw and Woodstock close by. Complete the short project questionnaire, and we’ll call you to go over your deck.

Decks for Lake-Area Slopes, Second Stories, and Tight Lots in Acworth
Custom Deck on a Sloped or Lake-Area Lot
Lots near Lake Acworth and Lake Allatoona can slope toward the water, which puts the deck high on the downhill side. As a deck builder in Acworth, we measure the slope first, since it determines post height, stair length, and how the railing runs along the drop. Then, as custom deck builders, we place seating and grilling space around it.
Trex Composite Decking Near the Lakes
Ground near the lakes stays damp, and that moisture sits under and around a deck. Trex resists moisture and rot, and it needs no staining. As a Trex deck builder, we frame with joists 12 inches on center, closer than the 16 inches Trex allows, so the surface stays firm and boards are less likely to cup.
Replacing a Second-Story Deck
An aging second-story deck shows it in soft boards, loose railings, and worn stairs, and the drop makes each of those matter more. As a wood deck builder, we tear the old deck out, haul it away, and rebuild in pressure-treated wood with 6×6 posts bolted to the rim. We check how the deck attaches to the house before we build anything new.
A Roof Over a Sun-Exposed Deck
An unshaded lake-facing deck takes full sun, and a roof provides shade and rain cover while the sides stay open. As a covered deck builder, we pick a shed or gable roof to match your roofline. Since a roof adds weight, we check the framing, posts, beams, and footings first.
Enclosing a Porch or Deck as a Sunroom on a Tight Lot
When a lot leaves little room to build outward, the answer can be to enclose what you already have. As a sunroom builder, we can enclose an existing porch or a code-compliant deck with windows, insulation, and heating and cooling, so the space works in more seasons without adding to the footprint.
Basement, Bath, and Kitchen Remodels Near the Lakes
Near Lake Acworth and Lake Allatoona, damp ground makes moisture the first basement question, and we fix the source before any finish goes in. Then we build the bedrooms, baths, or entertainment space you want, and we update kitchens and bathrooms in Acworth homes from the 1970s to the 2000s.
Second-Story Decks, Covered Decks, and Sunrooms We’ve Built Across North Georgia
Building Near the Lakes in Acworth
Acworth lots vary by age. Brookstone and Bentwater have homes from the 2000s, many with finished basements, which puts the main-floor deck well above the yard. Older lake-area neighborhoods like Allatoona Shores have some homes from the 1970s, so an original deck there may be well past its prime. Some older in-town lots near the center of Acworth are tight, so a new deck has to fit the lot lines and setbacks.
Near the lakes, the ground stays damp, and a lake-facing deck may have no shade, so we plan for moisture and sun before we choose materials. Brookstone and Bentwater are HOA communities, and we take care of the permits and supply the HOA documents.
