If your old deck stays damp under the trees, can’t support the roof or screened porch you want, or your yard has no deck yet, you’re deciding who to call. CHL Services is a deck builder in Roswell. We build in Trex composite and pressure-treated wood, and we add railings, lighting, covered decks, and screened porches.
Some homeowners want new boards and railings on the same footprint. Others want a bigger deck, a roof, a screened porch, or a fireplace to go with it. We’ll tell you what your lot allows before you spend on anything. We work in Roswell, with Alpharetta and Marietta close by. Send in the short project questionnaire, and we’ll call you to talk through your yard.
Who Builds Your Deck and Who Takes Care of the Permits
Chris Bryant started CHL Services in 2015 with more than 20 years in construction and remodeling behind him. The crew works by one rule: Think like the client. That means you hear what a project really involves before you sign. As a deck builder in Roswell, we pull the permits and provide a CAD drawing for your HOA application. Before work begins, you get a defined start date and schedule, and your project manager walks the finished deck with you at the end.

Decks for Wooded, Sloped Roswell Yards
A Custom Deck on a Wooded, Sloped Lot
Older Roswell neighborhoods have wooded, sloped lots, and near the Chattahoochee the ground can stay wet. As a deck builder in Roswell, we check the grade on site before we design anything, since it sets post height, stair length, and where a landing goes. Then, as a custom deck builder, we place seating and grill space around it.
Trex Composite Decking for Shaded Lots
Shade and humidity keep an older wood deck damp, and mildew and soft boards follow. When you replace it, Trex composite decking resists mold and rot and needs no staining. As a Trex deck builder, we set joists 12 inches on center, closer than the 16 inches Trex allows, which helps the boards stay flat.
Adding a Roof to a Deck You Already Have
A roof gives you shade and rain cover while the sides stay open, and the style depends on your roofline. As a covered deck builder, we pick a shed or gable roof to match the house. Older decks are the catch, since a roof adds weight and not every deck can carry it.
Turning Your Deck Into a Screened Porch
Under trees and in Georgia humidity, screening keeps the bugs out while a ceiling fan keeps the air moving. As a screened porch builder, we can screen all or part of a deck and add lighting, TV wiring, or a privacy wall if you want them.
A Deck, Screened Porch, and Fireplace Planned as One Job
Fireplaces are usually built into screened porches and covered patios, so the deck, the roof, and the fireplace work best planned together. As an outdoor living contractor, we can also add an outdoor kitchen, so one plan covers the whole project.
Basement, Bathroom, and Kitchen Remodeling
Many Martin’s Landing homes date to the 1970s and 1980s and have daylight basements, and near the river we deal with moisture before we finish anything. We then handle the basement remodeling, bathroom remodeling, and kitchen remodeling that bring those homes up to date.

What it Takes for Building Decks and Outdoor Projects in Roswell
Older Roswell neighborhoods have wooded, sloped lots, and near the Chattahoochee, the ground can stay wet, and setback limits can be tighter, which affects how big a deck can be. Martin’s Landing is an HOA community with homes built from the 1970s into the 1980s, and many have finished daylight basements, so an original deck there sits high off the ground and may be well past its prime. We take care of the permits and supply the HOA documents. Some in-town lots near Historic Roswell may also have a design review.
As a deck builder in Roswell, we start by looking at your lot, including the grade, the shade, and the ground near the river. That tells us whether the deck can hold a roof or screening, and how large it can be.
We also work in Woodstock and Canton. Our Roswell service area includes the following ZIP codes: 30075, 30076, 30009, 30022, and 30004.
Tell Us What You Have in Mind for Your Deck and Outdoor Living Space Project
When you send the questionnaire, we’ll call to talk through your Roswell deck and give you 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 lot needs and what comes next.
