Commercial Exterior Contractor in Apple Valley & South Metro, MN
CHS Custom Decks & Design is a commercial exterior contractor serving Apple Valley with commercial decks, privacy walls, railings, windows, patio doors, and siding. We can talk through the parts of your property that need work, whether that is one worn entrance or a patio and the building around it.
Maybe you need more privacy for an outdoor seating area. Maybe the siding needs attention while you are looking at the windows. As your commercial exterior contractor, we want to know how people use the space before we talk about products. Tell us what is not working and what needs to stay open during the project.
Commercial Exterior Options for Your Property
A patio door, privacy screen, and railing can all affect the same outdoor space. The right commercial exterior contractor will look at how people move between them, even when you only want to change one part. We build decks and outdoor spaces, so we know the value of looking beyond a product photo. Tell us where people gather, which entrances they use, and which views you want to keep.
Privacy Walls for Patios and Service Areas
Privacy wall installation is about choosing what to screen without shutting off everything around it. A patio may need a break from the neighboring lot, but you may still want an open view from the entrance. We will ask where the screen would go, what it should hide, and how people need to move around it. The right layout depends on the property, not a stock panel size.
Windows in a Working Building
Window installation starts with the openings you have and the way the rooms are used. Tell us which windows are giving you trouble and whether those rooms are occupied during business hours. We cannot promise that a business will stay fully open through replacement without looking at access and the proposed work. That is a question to settle as we plan the work.
Patio Doors at Busy Entrances
Patio door installation is more than picking a style. On an entrance that connects a dining room or shared indoor space to a patio, we need to understand the opening and the people coming through it. Which way should it operate? How much traffic does it see? We would discuss the hardware, weather exposure, and applicable access requirements before settling on a door.
Siding on the Existing Exterior
Siding installation can mean a limited area or a much larger change to the building. Show us what is failing or what you want to change. We need to understand the existing wall, the material you have in mind, and how the work would affect access around the property before we can talk about timing. A commercial exterior contractor cannot give a useful schedule from a photograph alone.
Railings Along Stairs, Landings and Outdoor Edges
Railing installation has to fit the place where people will actually use it. We can discuss wood, composite, glass, vinyl, aluminum and cable options, but a finish is only one part of the decision. The attachment, use, and applicable building requirements matter too. We would rather rule out a poor fit early than sell you a railing that only looks right in a picture.
Our Trusted Manufacturers
For decks and railings alongside these exterior projects, we work with the manufacturers below. We can compare the material and appearance with the way your property is used, then confirm the exact product for the project.
Trex
Trex is one of our composite decking and railing options. We would look at the deck or rail you need and discuss the finish and upkeep before choosing a product.
TimberTech by AZEK
TimberTech is another name on our decking and railing list. If your outdoor area includes both, we can look at how the materials work together and confirm the selected line for the project.
Deckorators
For railings, Deckorators gives us another option to discuss. The rail still has to fit the actual stair, landing, or deck edge, not just the design you saw in a photograph.
Viewrail
Viewrail is on our railing list when a glass or cable option may help preserve a view. We would first look at the location, attachment, and applicable requirements.
Barrette Outdoor Living
We also work with Barrette Outdoor Living for railings. We can compare a proposed system with the traffic, appearance, and maintenance needs of the property.
Westbury
Westbury gives us an aluminum railing option. We can discuss its look and layout for the actual entrance or outdoor space, then confirm what fits the project.

What Our Customer Say About Us
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a Privacy Wall Screen a Patio or Service Area Without Fully Enclosing It?
Yes. A screen can block a particular sightline while leaving other sides open, depending on the layout. We would look at where people need to walk, what you want screened, and whether any approvals apply.
Can Windows Be Replaced While the Business Stays Open?
Possibly, but we would not promise it before reviewing the openings and how the rooms are used. Access, the work area, and scheduling all matter. Tell us which parts of the business cannot be closed so we can plan around them.
What Goes Into a Patio Door on a High-Traffic Commercial Entrance?
We would look at the existing opening, how often people use it, the way the door operates, the hardware, and the weather it faces. Access and egress requirements matter as well. The right door depends on the building and its use.
How Long Does a Commercial Siding Project Take From Start to Finish?
We cannot give one timeline for every building. The area involved, wall condition, material, access, and any approvals can change the schedule. For a property in the city, the City of Apple Valley Building Inspections Division handles permit and inspection questions. We would review the work before giving you a project-specific timeframe.
What Railing Holds Up to Continuous Use on a Commercial Property?
There is no single material that fits every stair, landing, or patio. We need to look at the location, attachment, expected use, and applicable requirements. A railing chosen only for its appearance can be the wrong choice for a busy property.
