Maybe the railing moves when you lean on it, and the boards have started to cup. Maybe the back door opens onto a full story above the grass, with nothing to step on. Stain will not fix either one. You need a structure you can trust, planned around the way you live.
CHL Services is a deck builder in Cobb County, GA, that builds custom decks, composite decks, covered porches, screened porches, and sunrooms, and replaces decks that are past saving. We work with homeowners in Acworth, Kennesaw, and Marietta and the neighborhoods around them.
A project lead walks the property with you, looks at the slope and the house, and hears what you want from the space. After that visit, you receive a written proposal to review on your own time.
Why Choose CHL Services
Before anyone starts pulling up boards, you want to know who you are hiring. Chris Bryant started CHL Services in 2015. The company is family-owned, based in Acworth, and licensed, bonded, and insured. When you choose a deck builder in Cobb County, that means the company you call works in the same county you live in.
- Survey and Drawings First: Before work starts, you get a site survey and drawings. When the old deck has to go, demo and haul-off are part of the plan, and footings are set for the soil on your lot.
- Trex and Other Composites: We are a TrexPro installer, and we also install Fiberon, MoistureShield, TimberTech, and AZEK.
- Permit and HOA Paperwork: We pull the permit. When your subdivision asks for drawings, we produce them.
- One-Year Labor Warranty: Our labor is covered for one year, and product warranties follow the brand you choose.
CHL Services holds an A+ rating with the BBB. You can read our Google and Facebook reviews before you ever pick up the phone. If you would rather spread out the cost, financing is available.
What We Build and Remodel on Cobb County Lots
Custom Decks for Walk-Out Basements
Plenty of Cobb County homes open to the yard from a daylight basement, which leaves the main-floor door high above a slope. As a deck builder in Cobb County, we measure that grade first, since it decides post height, stair length, and how the railing runs along the drop. Then, as custom deck builders, we fit seating and grilling space where you will use it.
Trex Composite Decking to End the Stain Cycle
Between summer heat, rain, and shade, a wood deck here can turn gray fast, and staining becomes a yearly chore. Trex resists moisture and rot and needs no staining. As a Trex deck builder, we set joists 12 inches apart instead of the 16 inches Trex allows. That keeps the surface firm and makes the boards less likely to cup.
Enclosing a Deck or Porch as a Sunroom
When spring pollen coats every surface in yellow, a sunroom keeps you comfortable while you look out at the yard. If your lot leaves little room to build outward, we can enclose an existing porch or a code-compliant deck. As a sunroom builder, we add windows, insulation, and heating and cooling. When the plan calls for new windows, we use Andersen or Pella.
A Roof Over an Open, Sunny Deck
On a lot that backs onto an open fairway in West Cobb, the deck takes full afternoon sun. A roof gives you shade and rain cover while the sides remain open. As a covered deck builder, we match a shed or gable roof to your roofline. A roof adds weight, so we check the framing, posts, beams, and footings first.
Replacing a Second-Story Deck
On a walk-out lot, an aging deck sits well above the ground, so soft boards, a loose railing, or worn stairs become a real safety question. As a wood deck builder, we remove the old deck, haul it off, and rebuild in pressure-treated wood with 6×6 posts bolted to the rim joist, the outer board of the frame. We check the attachment to the house before anything new goes up.
Basement, Bath, and Kitchen Remodels
Before a lower level becomes a bedroom, bath, or media room, we look for moisture and fix the source before any finish goes in. Then we build the space you want. Our basement remodeling work extends to kitchens and bathrooms in Marietta, Kennesaw, and Acworth homes built from the 1970s to the 2000s.
Finished Projects From Cobb County Backyards
Neighborhoods and Towns We Serve Across Cobb
Our work as a deck builder in Cobb County spans Acworth and Kennesaw, through Marietta, Smyrna, and Powder Springs. We also build just over the county line in Woodstock and Dallas.
In West Cobb, Brookstone in Acworth is a golf and country club neighborhood with an HOA. Many of its homes date from the late 1980s to the early 2000s and sit above finished terrace levels. Lake Acworth and Cauble Park are a short drive away. In East Cobb, Indian Hills is built around its own golf course, with many homes from the 1970s and 1980s. A deck on a house that age may be original, so its connection to the house deserves a close look before anything new goes on top. Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park sits between Kennesaw and Marietta, near the middle of the county.
Much of the ground here is red clay, which holds water. Footings that drain and flashing that sheds water away from the house are what keep your deck solid for years, not just a few seasons.
Our Cobb County service area includes the following ZIP codes: 30101, 30062, 30068, 30064, and 30144.
Book a Walkthrough of Your Backyard
If your current deck has seen its last season, or your back door has never had one, the next step is a walkthrough. A project lead will meet you at your Cobb County home, look over the slope and the house, and send a written proposal afterward. Call or send a request, and we will set a time that works for you.
