As a lifelong resident of Dekalb County, I have proudly dedicated myself to the art of building, remodeling, and designing homes in the breathtaking Center Hill Lake area since 1994. With an unwavering commitment to excellence, I have had the privilege of creating many stunning and intricate homes, from the rustic charm of Timber Frame and Log to the refined elegance of Craftsman style and beyond.
My philosophy is simple yet essential: a home must be thoughtfully designed to harmonize with the surrounding landscape, capturing the beauty of the environment and elevating the living experience. With years of experience and a keen eye for detail, I have honed my skills to ensure that every project I undertake is tailored to the unique qualities of each property, taking full advantage of the views, terrain, and other natural features.
I am proud to collaborate with a team of exceptional subcontractors, each of whom shares my passion for delivering the highest level of quality and craftsmanship. Whether you are dreaming of a luxurious permanent residence or a weekend getaway, we are here to help bring your vision to life. So why wait? Give us a call today to schedule a consultation and let's start building your dream home together.

**★★★★★ — Andy Sallee, Jan. 2018**

> CHL Contractors is one of the best builders and contractors in the middle Tennessee area. They are professional, timely, have a high level of integrity, and provide a tremendous value for the product delivered.
>
> They understand all phases of the building process and have a great attention to detail, so nothing ever is missed or falls through the cracks. They also work hand in hand with their clients on a daily basis and have sub-contractors that are experts in their specific areas.
>
> Would recommend them to anyone and would use them again in the building process.

**★★★★★ — Donald Cox, Jan. 2018**

> He built my house on Center Hill in 2011/2012. He was at the building site every day and oversaw all the subcontractors. If it wasn't right, he made them do it over. His suggestions for changes during the construction made for improvements that have made the house and property much more enjoyable.

**★★★★★ — Center Hill Staging, Nov. 2016**

> Robin is great to work with.   He knows all the contractors in the area to complete a project.  We will use CHL contracts for many projects.

## Community Q&A

**Q: What is Trim Color?** *(in Photo Questions)*

What color is used to stain this wood trim?

A: The Douglas Fir beams in the foreground just have a sand and sealer on them . The window trim is something we mixed onsite from a couple of different max stains .
