If your deck sits on a wooded, sloped lot and the boards are going green, you’re replacing a multi-level deck that has run its course, or the yard has no deck yet, you’re deciding who to call. CHL Services is a deck builder in Marietta. We build in Trex composite and pressure-treated wood, and we add railings, lighting, covered decks, and screened porches.
Some homeowners want the same footprint with new framing. Others want a bigger deck, a roof, or a complete HOA design packet. We’ll tell you plainly what your yard calls for and what it doesn’t. We work in Marietta, with Kennesaw and Acworth close by. Send in the short project questionnaire, and we’ll call you to talk through your yard.

You also get a defined start date and schedule before work begins, and your project manager walks the finished deck with you at the end.

Covered Decks and Patios Marietta Homes
A Custom Deck on a Wooded or Sloped Lot
Many Marietta yards, especially in East Cobb, are wooded and slope away from the house, which raises the deck and shades it. As a custom deck builder in Marietta, we measure the grade and note where the trees are before we design anything. Then, as a custom deck builder, we place stairs, seating, and grill space around both.
Trex Composite Decking for a Shaded Yard
A shaded deck can stay damp for days, and mildew follows on wood. Trex resists mold and rot, and it needs no staining. As a Trex deck builder, we build on joists 12 inches on center, tighter than the 16 inches Trex allows, so the surface stays firm and boards are less likely to cup.
Replacing an Aging Wood Deck in an Established Neighborhood
In established neighborhoods, an original wood deck can be 40 years old. Before we build, we check how the ledger attaches to the house. 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 and 2×2 balusters.
Replacing a Multi-Level Deck on a Sloped Lot
A multi-level deck has more to wear out, including stairs between tiers, landings, and several sets of posts. As a multi-level deck builder, we rebuild it tier by tier, with a landing at each level and stairs down to the yard, and we check each level’s footings before we build.
A Roof Drawn to Match the House for an HOA or Historic Review
A roof changes how the back of a house looks, so roofline and materials can matter to an HOA or a historic review. As a covered deck builder, we match a shed or gable roof to your existing roofline and draw it for the packet. A roof adds weight, so we check the framing, posts, beams, and footings first.
Remodeling an East Cobb Home From the Basement Up
East Cobb homes from the 1970s and 1980s often have basements and floor plans that can feel closed in. We handle basement remodeling, bathroom remodeling, and kitchen remodeling, including taking out walls where the structure allows to open up the kitchen.

Building on Marietta’s Wooded, Sloped Lots
Marietta lots depend on where you are. In the East Cobb part of Marietta, lots are often wooded and sloped. Indian Hills is one example, with homes from the 1970s and 1980s on wooded lots that often run a quarter acre or more, so an original deck there may be 40 years old. West Cobb mixes newer subdivisions with rolling yards. Near the Square, older in-town lots can be tight, and some may be subject to historic design review.
HOAs are common in East Cobb and West Cobb, and we handle the permits and provide the HOA documents.
As a deck builder in Marietta, we start by looking at your lot, including the trees, the slope, and how the old deck was built. We also work in Woodstock and Roswell, including the Sandy Plains corridor. Our Marietta service area includes the following ZIP codes: 30062, 30066, 30064, 30067, and 30068.
Ready to Talk About Your Marietta Deck Project?
When you send the questionnaire, we’ll call to talk through your Marietta deck, your HOA, and a ballpark price. If it’s a good fit, we’ll schedule a free estimate at your home and follow up with a proposal. From that first call on, you’ll know what your yard needs and what the paperwork asks for.
