CHL Services designs and builds custom decks throughout Acworth, Kennesaw, Canton, Woodstock, Marietta, Dallas, and surrounding Northwest Metro Atlanta communities. Pricing depends on the deck’s size, height, layout, materials, stairs, railings, and the condition of any existing structure. Our pressure-treated deck replacements typically range from $18,000 to $30,000, while complete composite decks generally range from $30,000 to $40,000 or more. These are preliminary ballparks, and CHL Services will complete an onsite evaluation before providing an estimate.
CHL Services will provide a projected timeline based on the deck’s size, design, materials, permitting requirements, inspections, and weather. A straightforward deck may take several days to build, while larger or more detailed projects can take a few weeks. We also coordinate the drawings, permitting, material orders, scheduling, and inspections required to complete the project properly.
CHL Services builds both pressure-treated and composite decks that perform well in Georgia’s heat, humidity, rain, and changing seasonal temperatures. Composite decking is popular because it resists moisture, insects, rot, and warping while requiring less maintenance. Pressure-treated wood is more budget-friendly but requires regular cleaning, staining, and sealing. CHL Services will help you compare both options and choose the material that best fits your home, budget, and maintenance preferences.
Trex decking typically costs more upfront than pressure-treated wood. CHL Services generally sees pressure-treated deck replacements range from $18,000 to $30,000, while complete Trex decks typically range from $30,000 to $40,000 or more. Trex reface projects may range from $18,000 to $28,000 when the existing frame is structurally sound and up to code. CHL Services provides preliminary ballparks for homeowners in Marietta, Acworth, and surrounding Northwest Metro Atlanta communities, with final pricing determined after an onsite evaluation.
Trex decking is designed to last for decades without the rotting, splintering, and insect damage commonly associated with wood. Depending on the product line, Trex decking carries a limited residential warranty ranging from 25 to 50 years. CHL Services follows Trex installation requirements, and proper installation combined with routine cleaning helps protect the deck’s appearance and long-term performance.
Trex decking requires significantly less maintenance than pressure-treated wood. It does not need to be stained, painted, or sealed. CHL Services recommends routinely removing debris and occasionally cleaning the surface with warm, soapy water and a soft-bristle brush to help preserve its appearance.
Covered and screened porch projects through CHL Services typically range from $25,000 to $50,000 or more. Pricing depends on the size, roof design, decking, screening system, electrical work, stairs, finishes, and whether an existing structure can safely remain.

Yes, an existing deck can sometimes be converted into a screened porch. The deck must be structurally sound, properly attached to the home, up to code, and capable of supporting the additional roof and enclosure loads.
CHL Services evaluates the deck, framing, posts, beams, footings, and home connection before determining whether the existing structure can remain. If it does not meet the requirements enforced by the applicable city or county, reinforcement or replacement may be necessary.
Covered porch projects through CHL Services typically range from $20,000 to $35,000, depending on the size, roof design, electrical work, finishes, and condition of the existing structure.
If the deck must also be replaced, a pressure-treated deck with a roof may range from $35,000 to $50,000 or more, while a Trex deck with a roof may range from $45,000 to $65,000 or more. These are preliminary ranges for projects in Acworth, Marietta, Kennesaw, Woodstock, Canton, Dallas, and surrounding areas.

Yes, a basement can often be designed with a bedroom, bathroom, living space, and kitchenette. The available layout depends on access, ceiling height, plumbing, egress, parking, zoning, and local building requirements.
CHL Services evaluates each property individually because adding cooking facilities or creating a separate living area may affect how the space is classified and permitted.
Moisture prevention begins with identifying and correcting the source before construction begins. Solutions may involve grading, gutters, exterior drainage, foundation repairs, sump or drainage systems, insulation, ventilation, or humidity control.
CHL Services will not conceal a known moisture problem behind new finishes. The underlying issue must be addressed to help protect the completed basement.
