Maybe the old deck feels soft underfoot, and the stain gave up years ago. Maybe the back door opens onto a drop to the grass. Either way, you want a place outside your family will use, and you want to know it was built right.

Decks, Porches, and Remodels for Cherokee County Homes
Custom Decks for Terrace-Level Homes
Plenty of homes here have a terrace-level basement, so the back door sits a full story above a yard that slopes away. As a deck builder in Cherokee County, we measure that slope first, since it sets the post height, the stair length, and how the railing follows the drop. Then, as custom deck builders, we lay out seating and grilling space around it.
Trex Decking for Shaded, Humid Yards
Under tall hardwoods, a deck stays damp long after a summer storm. Trex resists moisture and rot and never needs staining. As a Trex deck builder, we space the joists 12 inches apart, closer than the 16 inches Trex allows. The surface feels firm underfoot, and the boards are less likely to cup.
Replacing a Second-Story Deck
Neighborhoods like Towne Lake Hills in Woodstock filled in during the mid-1990s, and some of those raised decks are still original. Soft boards, a loose railing, or worn stairs matter more than a full story up. As a wood deck builder, we tear out the old deck, haul it away, and rebuild in pressure-treated wood. We use 6×6 posts bolted to the rim, the outer board of the frame, and we check how the deck attaches to the house before building anything new.
A Roof Over a Sunny Deck
Summer in the North Atlanta Metro Area brings hot afternoons and pop-up thunderstorms. A roof gives you shade and rain cover while the sides remain open. As a covered deck builder, we choose a shed or gable roof to match your roofline. Because a roof adds weight, we check the framing, posts, beams, and footings before it goes up.
Turning a Deck or Porch Into a Sunroom
If your yard drops off steeply behind the house, building outward may not make sense. As a sunroom builder, we can enclose an existing porch or a code-compliant deck with windows, insulation, and heating and cooling. You use the space in more seasons without adding to the footprint.
Basement, Bath, and Kitchen Remodels
A terrace-level basement sits partly below ground, so moisture is the first question we ask. We fix the source before any finish goes in, then build the bedrooms, baths, or entertainment space you want. Our basement remodeling work extends to kitchens and bathrooms in Cherokee County homes built from the 1970s to the 2000s.
Custom Decks and Porches Around Cherokee County
Where We Build in Cherokee County
As a deck builder in Cherokee County, CHL Services takes projects across Woodstock, Canton, and Holly Springs. We also build in Ball Ground, Waleska, Acworth, Kennesaw, and Dallas.
Some of the county’s best-known neighborhoods sit close to the water. Bridgemill in Canton borders Corps of Engineers land along Lake Allatoona, and some lots there back directly onto those woods. Harmony on the Lakes, also in Canton, has three lakes, walking trails, and an HOA. A new deck or porch there usually goes through the association before it goes up.
The ground matters as much as the view. Much of the county sits on red clay, which holds water around footings when the grade is wrong. That is one reason your yard’s grade gets a close look before the plan is drawn. Your deck ends up on firm ground instead of soil that stays soft after every storm.
Our Cherokee County service area includes the following ZIP codes: 30114, 30115, 30188, 30189, and 30107.
Start With a Walk-Through of Your Yard
Whether the old deck needs to come out or your back door has never had one, the first step is the same. Someone from the team will walk the property with you, look at the grade and the house, and send a written proposal with the plan and price. Schedule your Cherokee County site visit, and we will set a time that works for you.
