What Our Customers Are Saying
EXCELLENT Based on 37 reviews Posted on Anabell BondDecember 19, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had my backyard completely remodeled by CHS Custom Decks & Design here in Rosemount, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. From the very beginning, the team was professional, attentive, and clearly focused on making sure the entire process went smoothly. The project included a new pool, an aluminum patio cover, a beautiful fireplace, and a high-end outdoor BBQ area, and every part of it exceeded my expectations. The pool looks amazing, with clean finishes that make the space feel like a private resort right at home. The aluminum patio cover has a modern look and provides the perfect amount of shade while tying in nicely with the rest of the design. The fireplace has quickly become a favorite spot on cooler evenings, and the outdoor BBQ area is both practical and great-looking. What stood out most was the communication throughout the project. The crew showed up on time, kept the area clean, and addressed questions or concerns right away. The attention to detail really shows in the final result, and I’m extremely happy with how the backyard came together.Posted on David FinnessyDecember 15, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Incredibly easy to work with and responsive. Chuck and Heather came out to my home multiple times to make sure we had the right plan in place and also met with me at one of their previous projects at my request so I could see their work. Deck is great and price was better than any other contractor that I considered.Posted on Catherine VuDecember 4, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I are building a home, and from the beginning knew we were interested in creating an "indoor/outdoor" type patio to optimize enjoying the seasons of Minnesota. After a lot of research, I reached out to different vendors and talked to different varying companies. After reading about MagnaTrack and the unique technology, I knew I wanted to learn more about the product. Chuck was not only very prompt with calling me after I submitted an inquiry, he is very knowledgeable and detailed, which is what I am also searching for speficially. His extensive experience is something I value immensely as a customer, especially when choosing to pursue something for our home. My husband and I got to see our MagnaTrack screens go in today, and we both are so incredibly happy with the result. Chuck and his team did a great job. As a customer, I am very happy with the service CHS Custom Decks and Design provided. If anyone is interested in motorized patio screens, I would recommend looking into MagnaTrack screens and I would absolutely recommend Chuck and CHS Custom Decks & Design to do the job! 10/10!!Posted on Amy JordanOctober 7, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an excellent experience with CHS! They repaired my deck and my electric pergola, and the results exceeded my expectations. The team was communicative, efficient, and went above and beyond in every way. They showed real attention to detail and pride in their work, and it truly shows in the finished product. It’s rare to find a company this reliable and professional. I can’t recommend them highly enough!Posted on Dave OrbeckistanAugust 21, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chuck and Heather were great. Heather helped us with design. We came out with a better design, more usable space, great look. The crews were fantastic. Hard working, friendly, talented. Chuck is just on top of things. We had a small miscommunication with the look of the stairs. Chuck was so quick to get that fixed. And noticed the wood frame around the window and doors could look better with new material. Really looks good. The deck looks just greatPosted on Allen ShawJuly 14, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. CHS does great work from start to finish. Tasteful deck design options, a solid communication every step of the way, and experienced professionals installing the deck.

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the excellent work you did on our deck! From start to finish, the entire process was smooth and hassle-free. Chuck and Heather were always reachable, and I really appreciated how easy it was to communicate with you throughout. Special shout-out to Luis, who was the main guy on the build crew — his attention to detail and dedication really stood out. The quality of the work is outstanding, and we’re thrilled with the final result. I’d highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled contractor.
