We build decks, fences, pergolasand other outdoor carpentryfeatures of all kinds — frompremium custom builds to smallrepairs, we take care of Chatham-Kent,Ontario and the surrounding area.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Looking for a full landscape redesign that extends beyond outdoor carpentry? We work with a trusted network of local specialists to coordinate masonry, landscaping and concrete. You deal with one of us — we keep it organized, efficient, and make sure it turns out beautifully.
Accurate pre-planning, precise measurements, attention to detail, and experienced hands. Every build is strong, safe, level, built to code, and built to last.
Designed around your budget and materials of choice. Whether you want premium finishes or the most affordable yet elegant structure possible, we work it out with you.
Straight-to-the-point final quotes with detailed job specs and full material and labour transparency. No hidden costs, no surprises.
Cash, e-transfer, or cheque — with a cash discount for payment in full. Prefer to buy your own materials? Purchase directly from the supplier while we handle counts and quality control.
A strong network of trusted local subcontractors for landscaping, hardscaping, and patio work. Whatever backyard transformation you have in mind, we get it done.
CDW carries full insurance on every job — so you're covered from start to finish.
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.
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.
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.
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.

"I couldn't be happier with the work done by Chatham Deck Works. I was looking for a professional I could trust — someone who truly takes pride in their work. They were incredibly polite, clean, and hardworking throughout the entire process, and the quality went above and beyond my expectations. I would absolutely recommend this company."
"We hired CDW for a deck board replacement and privacy fence job and could not be happier. Great quote with a fair price, walked us through all custom details. The demo was quick and clean, the railing craftsmanship amazing, and the fence was damn perfect. Definitely reach out to them if you're looking for deck or fence work in Chatham-Kent."
"From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and professional. The craftsmanship is top-notch — the deck is beautifully built, solid, and finished with great attention to detail. The crew was respectful, hardworking, and kept the job site clean throughout. Highly recommend."
"They built my fence and it is a 10/10. Everything went so smoothly, they were in and out, and they left things cleaner than they were before. They made sure we got exactly what we wanted and had every little detail planned out in the quote. The fence is as solid as a tree and visually perfect."
