Specializing in deck installation across Twin City Metro Area, MN. and surrounding communities, we bring meticulous craftsmanship and high-performance materials to each project. Whether you envision a serene gathering space or seek to elevate your home’s long-term value, our expertise can help realize that vision.
At CHS Custom Decks & Design, we approach residential decking as both an architectural extension and an experiential enhancement. A well-designed deck, while frequently celebrated for its aesthetic appeal, also facilitates social interaction and outdoor living in ways that interior spaces may not. Our custom solutions reflect a commitment to structural integrity, environmental suitability, and client-centered design.
From regionally favored softwoods like cedar and redwood to tropical hardwoods such as Ipe, Tigerwood, and Cumaru, our wood offerings allow for a spectrum of texture, color, and grain.
Composite decking presents a compelling alternative to natural wood, offering reduced maintenance demands and heightened resistance to moisture and decay—features particularly advantageous in Minnesota’s shifting climate.
For homeowners prioritizing resilience and color retention, PVC decking offers long-term performance with minimal upkeep, especially in high-traffic or weather-prone zones.
Engineered for structural coherence, our framing systems ensure the deck’s foundational integrity and support design complexity.
This detail conceals under-deck space while providing aesthetic continuity and protection from weather or pests.
Using helical piers or concrete footings, we anchor decks to withstand seasonal shifts without compromising stability.
Transform unused space beneath your deck into dry storage or additional living area through discreet waterproofing systems.
Beyond safety, railings introduce architectural character, with options ranging from minimalist cable to ornate wrought iron.
Strategically integrated lighting extends usability into the evening hours while enhancing ambiance and navigational clarity.
Positioned close to the ground, platform decks offer simplicity and ease of access, often harmonizing well with single-level homes or gentle landscapes.
Elevating the deck above grade allows for expanded views and under-deck storage, making it ideal for sloped terrain or walkout basements.
These complex structures create distinct zones—dining, lounging, or grilling—each tailored to specific activities or vantage points.
Unattached to the primary structure, freestanding decks offer flexible placement and are frequently used to frame features like gardens or pools.
Maximizing vertical space in urban environments, rooftop decks offer panoramic views and often incorporate green space or privacy elements.
Built to resist moisture and support high traffic, pool decks integrate safety considerations while maintaining visual cohesion with surrounding landscaping.
Requiring advanced framing techniques, curved decks provide a fluid, organic aesthetic, often used to soften geometric architecture or follow natural contours.
Projecting outward without visible support beneath, these decks introduce a sense of suspension and spatial drama, especially when combined with modern rail systems.
Combining openness with protection, screened areas shield occupants from insects and debris while preserving light and airflow.
With partial or full roofing, these decks extend seasonal usability and protect furnishings from weather exposure.
Whether integrated into the railing or designed as standalone structures, these features provide visual separation from neighbors without sacrificing style.
Known for their eco-friendly composite options, Trex offers high-performance decking with a wood-like appearance and industry-leading warranties.
Offering PVC and composite products, TimberTech blends technological innovation with design versatility, especially for high-end applications.
