If your deck sits high on a hillside, the boards are soft from years under the trees, or you want a covered place to sit out back, you’re deciding who to call. CHL Services is a deck builder in Waleska. We build in Trex composite and pressure-treated wood, and we add railings, lighting, roofs, and screening.
Some homeowners are replacing a deck on an older ranch with a few acres. Others are adding one to a newer home on a wooded quarter-acre lot. Either way, we’ll tell you plainly what the lot allows and what it will take. We work in Waleska, with Canton and Ball Ground not far off. Send in the short project questionnaire, and we’ll call you to talk it through.

Deck Work for Waleska Homes in Design-Controlled Communities
A Custom Deck on a Waleska Lot, Big or Small
Waleska lots run from wooded quarter-acre lots in Lake Arrowhead to properties of several acres, and the deck starts with what the lot gives you. On acreage, there is room for a large deck with separate dining, seating, and grill areas. On a smaller wooded lot, a custom deck builder works around the trees and the property lines instead of fighting them.
Trex Composite Decking
Waleska sits at the base of the mountains, and a wood deck under trees stays damp. Some Lake Arrowhead homes are second homes, where a deck you have to stain every few years becomes a chore. As a Trex deck builder, we install composite decking that needs no staining and resists mold and rot, so upkeep comes down to sweeping and an occasional wash.
A Multi-Level Deck for a Hillside Lot
Lots near the North Georgia mountains can drop away fast from the back of the house. As a deck builder in Waleska, we start with the drop. A multi-level deck builder answers a steep yard by stepping the deck down in levels, with a landing at each one and stairs to the ground, so the yard below becomes part of the plan.
A Roof Over the Back of an Older Ranch
Older ranch homes are common on Waleska acreage, and their original decks or patios may not be built to carry a roof. A covered deck builder checks the framing, posts, beams, and footings first, then adds a roof that matches the house.
Screening In a Wooded Backyard
A wooded lot near a creek or the lake brings bugs in summer, and screening lets you keep using the deck. Some Lake Arrowhead homes already have a screened porch or covered back deck. A screened porch builder can add one where there is none, with a ceiling fan and lighting over part or all of the deck.
Remodeling Inside a Waleska Home
Older ranch homes on acreage often need a new kitchen or bath, and some Lake Arrowhead basements are already roughed in for a bathroom. We finish basements, rebuild bathrooms, and update kitchens for Waleska homes, with new cabinets, countertops, islands, and layouts.

What to Know Before Building in Waleska
Lake Arrowhead is a gated HOA community of mostly newer homes on wooded lots of roughly a quarter to two-thirds of an acre, some with basements, and we supply the HOA documents. Outside it, Waleska is mostly acreage, and many of those properties have no HOA at all. Ranch homes from the 1950s and 1960s sit on lots of two to ten acres, so an original deck or patio there may be decades old, and a new one has room to grow.
Foothill ground changes the design. Steeper lots need taller posts, longer stairs, and often more than one level, while level to gently sloping acreage allows a big single-level deck. As a deck builder in Waleska, we start by looking at your lot, including the slope, the trees, and how far the back door sits above the ground.
We also work in Canton, Ball Ground, and Holly Springs. Our Waleska service area includes the following ZIP codes: 30183, 30107, 30114, 30115, and 30188.
