About Us

Chatham Deck Works is a custom outdoor carpentry building company serving Chatham-Kent founded by experienced, hardworking local builders who believe in doing things right the first time.

We specialize in decks, fences, pergolas, gates, railings, stairs, garden beds and beyond. Whether you're looking for a cost-effective, simple build or a high-end custom design featuring specific materials and finish styles, every project is fully customizable. We work closely with each client to build according to their aesthetic preferences, functional needs, and budget — diligently pre-planning to ensure the final result is exactly as envisioned.

From new builds of the highest quality and repairs of all sizes, to clean demos, pressure washing and staining services — our team gets the job done right. Through our trusted network of local outdoor specialists, we also coordinate large-scale landscaping and patio stone work to bring the backyard of your dreams to life.

We try to keep things simple: you reach out with key details, we provide a rough estimate, then we visit the site, finalize options, and send a clear no-obligation final quote.

We prioritize clear communication and honesty, and build with precision and attention to detail to leave our clients with a smile on their face as they gaze at a job well done.

Our Services

Decks, Stairs & Railings

Decks, Stairs & Railings

Our foundation and framing plans come straight from the textbook and our finishes are done with passion for the trade. Freestanding platforms, high decks with staircases, composite or pressure-treated boards, and railings of every type — full PT, black aluminum balusters, vinyl/PVC, or full aluminum. We build to code, use proper hardware, and do not cut corners. Built Strong. Built Right. Every Time.

Custom Fencing & Gates

Custom Fencing & Gates

Privacy, pool, decorative & security fencing — every post set plumb, every rail set level, every single time. Single-face or shadowbox, any height or post size. Fully customizable gates with proper anti-sag framing and durable hardware. From walk-through gates to double-door access gates for vehicles, we'll build it to last.

Pergolas & Other Outdoor Carpentry

Pergolas & Other Outdoor Carpentry

Custom pergolas of all styles. Whether you're looking for sharp carpentry to hang high or a build to cast some serious shade, send us pictures and we'll send back an estimate. We'll build on soil, concrete or decks — post bases, beams, rafters, top-slats; every aspect is customizable.

Repairs, Refresh, Staining & More

Repairs, Refresh, Staining & More

No repair is too small. Deck board replacements, targeted structural fixes, fence post replacements, gate repairs, stair repairs, precision demolitions, junk removal, staining, painting, and power washing — if it has to do with outdoor carpentry, our in-house crew will make it better.

Planter Boxes & Chicken Coops

Planter Boxes & Chicken Coops

Want to grow your own food? We passionately support nutritional sovereignty for our local community. We'll build a deep raised garden bed for serious vegetable growing — or something cute for the yard. Same build and finish quality we put into our decks. Chicken coop builds welcome too.

How We Operate

1

Reach Out

Contact us with a description of the project you have in mind — the more detail you share, the tighter the rough estimate. Photos help too. We'll send back a price range by text or email, usually within a day or two, before either of us spends time on a site visit.

2

On-Site Consultation

If the rough numbers work for you, we come out and lock in the key variables. Measurements, site conditions, material selections, structural choices, customization and design details — all decided in real life with pictures and samples.

3

Final Quote & Agreement

Within a few days of the consultation, you'll receive a Final Quote & Agreement — build specs planned out, fixed price, phased labour and material breakdown, signed in person when we collect the deposit.

4

Construction

Materials are ordered and work starts as soon as our calendar allows — you'll know the approximate start date well before. Final balance is due within 3 days of completion. Every build carries a 1-year workmanship warranty.
