If your deck is worn out, your new lot bakes in the sun all summer, or you want a porch on the back of the house, you’re deciding who to call. CHL Services is a deck builder in Dallas, Georgia. We build decks in Trex composite or pressure-treated wood, and we can cover, screen, or enclose them when you want more than open space.
Some homeowners are replacing a deck and want a porch roof planned in from the start. Others have larger yards and no deck at all. You’ll get a plain answer on what your lot allows and what it takes. We work in Dallas, with Acworth and Kennesaw close by. Complete the short project questionnaire, and we’ll call you to go over your yard.

Deck Work for Dallas Lots, From New Builds to Acreage
A Custom Deck on a New-Build Lot
New-build neighborhoods sit on clay pads, and water can stay on clay after a storm. As a deck builder in Dallas, we look at how the ground drains around the deck before we set a single post. Then, as a custom deck builder, we lay out the deck to fit the pad and the back of the house.
Trex Decking for a Lot With No Shade
A newer lot has few mature trees, so a deck sits in full summer sun. Lighter Trex colors stay cooler than dark ones, and a roof or pergola adds the shade that color can’t. As a Trex deck builder, we show you those choices side by side before you order.
A Larger Deck on Acreage Outside a Community
Some Dallas lots run from half an acre to several acres, and that leaves room for a bigger deck. As a wood deck builder, we can build large decks in pressure-treated wood, which costs less upfront than composite, and we’ll tell you honestly when the extra size is worth it.
A Screened or Covered Porch When You Replace the Deck
If your deck is due for replacement, that is the time to plan a roof or screening. A new frame can be built to carry the roof from the start, which is usually simpler than reinforcing an old one. As a screened porch builder, we can screen all or part of the new deck, or cover it.
When a Screened Porch Isn’t Enough for the Heat
A screened porch keeps bugs out, but it isn’t insulated or climate-controlled. As a sunroom builder, we can enclose a porch or deck with windows, insulation, and heating and cooling, so the room works through a hot, humid summer and stays usable in the cooler months.
Finishing and Updating the Inside of a Dallas Home
In the newer homes of Seven Hills and Riverwood, remodeling often involves adding usable space and updating finishes. We finish basements, rebuild bathrooms, and update kitchens with new cabinets, countertops, and islands. Older homes near downtown may also need layout changes.

Choosing a Deck for Your Dallas Lot
Dallas has three kinds of lots, and each needs a different deck. Seven Hills is a large HOA community with homes built from 2007 into the 2020s on lots of roughly a fifth to a third of an acre. Newer communities like Riverwood have homes built since 2022 on small lots with little shade, so heat is the first thing to plan for.
Outside a master-planned community, many lots run from half an acre to several acres, and that leaves room for a bigger deck. Older lots near downtown are smaller, so a replacement deck often has to stay close to its old footprint. We take care of the permits and supply the HOA documents where a community requires them.
As a deck builder in Dallas, we start by looking at your lot. We also work in Marietta and Kennesaw. Our Dallas service area includes the following ZIP codes: 30132, 30157, 30141, 30101, and 30127.
