As a leading commercial deck company in The Twin City Metro Area, CHS Custom Decks & Design creates outdoor environments that are both functional and visually impressive—built to enhance your property’s value and appeal. We specialize in commercial decking solutions that combine architectural vision with code compliance, durability, and long-term performance. From retail spaces and restaurants to multi-family housing and public facilities, our team delivers high-quality results tailored to the demands of large-scale commercial projects.
In commercial contexts, decking is not merely an aesthetic gesture—it constitutes a performative space where architecture intersects with public experience. At CHS Custom Decks & Design, we engage each project as a spatial strategy, working within technical, environmental, and regulatory constraints to deliver platforms that support business goals and user engagement alike. Our approach centers on resilience, code compliance, and the adaptive capacity of each design to serve multiple stakeholders.
While natural wood—such as cedar, redwood, and Ipe—may be preferred for boutique or hospitality applications seeking warmth and authenticity, we advise clients to consider long-term upkeep and climate exposure when selecting softwoods or tropical hardwoods.
Ideal for high-traffic, low-maintenance installations, composite decking materials resist fading, splintering, and rot. These properties make them particularly well-suited for commercial use, where reliability and aesthetics must coexist.
Offering the highest resistance to weather, stain, and insect damage, PVC materials are often favored in institutional or high-volume spaces where safety and durability are non-negotiable.
Integrated lighting solutions support wayfinding, extend operational hours, and contribute to ambiance, especially in hospitality and entertainment venues.
Engineered to meet commercial load ratings, our framing systems incorporate steel or reinforced wood as appropriate.
Skirting enhances presentation while deterring unauthorized access beneath the structure—critical for liability and security in public-facing environments.
We employ deep footings or helical piers designed to withstand heavy usage and freeze-thaw cycles common to The Twin City Metro Area Community.
Maximize spatial efficiency with dry storage or utility access beneath elevated decks—an especially valuable feature in urban or multi-use developments.
ADA-compliant and structurally reinforced rail systems ensure user safety while aligning with brand identity and design language.
Suited for storefronts, pop-up retail zones, or outdoor cafés, platform decks offer accessible, ground-level expansion without requiring extensive structural support.
By elevating users above grade, raised decks can create panoramic dining terraces, event stages, or transit-adjacent social spaces, while enabling storage or utility space below.
Frequently used in entertainment or hospitality venues, these decks delineate programmatic zones such as VIP lounges, bar areas, or performance stages within a cohesive structure.
These unattached structures are often employed in parks, outdoor pavilions, or garden centers, allowing for design flexibility and site adaptability.
A popular solution in urban commercial design, rooftop decks convert unused overhead space into high-value gathering areas, often used for bars, lounges, or co-working amenities.
Designed to resist chlorinated water and accommodate continuous foot traffic, pool decks in hotels or fitness centers must meet specific safety and slip-resistance standards.
Used to soften hard architectural lines or guide user circulation, curved decks introduce a sense of movement and distinction in otherwise rectilinear settings.
These suspended platforms can project views or extend functionality without requiring posts or columns, making them especially valuable in constrained or scenic locations.
Integral in climates like Minnesota’s, covered decks extend seasonal use for restaurants and venues by sheltering patrons from precipitation and UV exposure.
Where commercial sites abut residential zones or public right-of-ways, privacy screens serve as both regulatory compliance and aesthetic refinement.
This industry leader in composite decking offers commercial-grade products with fade and stain resistance, backed by long-term warranties.
Known for its robust PVC lines, TimberTech offers superior resilience and color stability, ideal for demanding commercial applications.
