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.

We couldn’t be happier with our new Azek PVC deck built by CHS Custom Decks & Design! From start to finish, the process was seamless. The team took the time to understand our vision and recommended Azek for its durability and low maintenance—what a great choice! The craftsmanship is top-notch, with clean lines, precise finishes, and a layout that fits our space beautifully. The deck not only looks amazing, but we also have peace of mind knowing it will hold up to Minnesota’s weather without constant upkeep. CHS was professional, punctual, and a pleasure to work with.
