HomeBlogMore Than a Trophy: What Being Chandler’s Business of the Month Means for You

We recently received some news that really hit home for us here at ABC Decking. The Chandler Area Chamber of Commerce named us the June 2026 Business of the Month.

While it is always an honor to see our name on a plaque, this recognition means a lot more to us than just a trophy for the shelf. It is a reflection of the relationships we have built with you: our neighbors, our veterans, and our seniors: right here in the Chandler and Tyler area.

When you see that “Business of the Month” sign or the award decals on our truck, we want you to know exactly what they represent. They aren't just for "bragging rights." They are a promise of the standard we keep for every homeowner who trusts us with their property.

A Heartfelt Thank You to the Chandler Chamber

First and foremost, we want to extend a massive thank you to the Chandler Area Chamber of Commerce. Organizations like the Chamber are the backbone of our local economy, and their support for small businesses is what keeps our community thriving.

Being recognized by the Chamber is special because they look at more than just the bottom line. Their "Business of the Month" shoutout highlighted our commitment to exceptional craftsmanship and, more importantly, our heart for serving others. We are proud to be part of a community that values hard work and looking out for one another.

Consistency You Can Count On: Three Years of Excellence

If you’ve lived in the East Texas area for a while, you know that contractors can sometimes be a "here today, gone tomorrow" kind of business. That is why we are so proud of our "triple crown" achievement.

In addition to the Chamber award, ABC Decking has been voted the Community Choice Platinum Winner for Deck Builder of the Year in 2023, 2024, and now 2025.

Why does this matter to you? Because it proves consistency. It shows that we didn't just have one good season or one lucky project. For three years straight, your neighbors have recognized that our custom decks in Chandler, TX are built to a higher standard. Whether we are building a small transition porch or a massive outdoor living space, that Platinum standard is what you get every single time.

This Win Belongs to Our Crew

You see Aaron’s face a lot in our photos, and he is the one who designs every project and supervises the job site daily. But the truth is, ABC Decking wouldn't be where it is without our incredible crew.

These awards are a testament to their long hours, their attention to every screw and miter cut, and their professional attitude on every job site. We believe that a great deck starts with great people. Our employees are more than just laborers; they are craftsmen who take pride in knowing that the wood decks they build will be where your family makes memories for the next 20 years.

When the Chamber mentioned our "outstanding customer service," they were talking about the guys on the ground who make sure the site is clean, the gates are closed, and the work is done right the first time.

Serving Those Who Served: Our Community Mission

One of the most touching parts of the Chamber’s recognition was the mention of our work with veterans, seniors, and individuals with disabilities.

At ABC Decking, we believe that if you have a skill, you have a responsibility to use it for good. Aaron and the crew have frequently provided work at no cost for elderly residents and veterans living on fixed incomes who simply needed a safe way to enter and exit their homes.

We don't do this for the publicity: most of these projects never even make it to social media. We do it because it’s the right thing to do. Whether it’s a wheelchair ramp for a veteran or repairing "scary stairs" for a senior, we want to make sure our neighbors are safe in their own homes.

The ABC Difference: One Job at a Time

One of the core philosophies that the Chamber and our customers appreciate is our "One Job at a Time" approach.

Many deck builders in Chandler, TX will take your deposit and then disappear for weeks because they are juggling five different projects at once. We don't operate like that. When we start your project, you have our undivided attention.

  • Owner-Supervised: Aaron is on the job site daily. He isn't just a salesman; he is a builder.
  • Dedicated Focus: We stay on your project from the first post-hole to the final inspection.
  • Meticulous Detail: Because we aren't rushing to the next three jobs, we have the time to ensure every board is aligned and every railing is rock-solid.

35+ Years of Experience Built Into Every Board

When we talk about craftsmanship, we aren't just using a buzzword. It is backed by over 35 years of hands-on construction experience. Aaron Baugh didn't learn to build from a book; he learned by building in some of the toughest environments in the country.

His background includes building to:

  • Florida Hurricane Specs: Where structural integrity is a matter of life and death.
  • Oklahoma Tornado Specs: Where anchoring and heavy-duty framing are non-negotiable.
  • Pennsylvania Snow Loads: Where you have to understand exactly how much weight a structure can handle.

This "Who's Who" level of expertise is built into every project we touch here in East Texas. We might not get hurricanes or three feet of snow every year, but wouldn't you rather have a deck built to those standards anyway?

Peace of Mind with Our Written Craftsmanship & Safety Warranty

We know that a new deck or porch is a significant investment. That’s why we don't just give you a "handshake" guarantee. Every customer receives a physical copy of our Written Craftsmanship & Safety Warranty.

This isn't a marketing gimmick; it is a formalization of Aaron’s decades of experience. Our warranty includes a 3-year labor promise on the most critical safety areas of your build:

  1. Decking Boards: Ensuring your walking surface remains secure and properly fastened.
  2. Handrails: Making sure your safety barriers stay rigid and dependable.
  3. Stairs: Ensuring the most high-traffic part of your deck remains structurally sound.

We want you to have long-term peace of mind, knowing that the "Business of the Month" stands behind its work long after the truck pulls out of your driveway.

Real Results for Local Homeowners

At the end of the day, these awards are only possible because of the successful projects we complete for people like you. Take a look at the precision we bring to every active job site:

Whether it’s a custom deck design in Bullard or a screened-in porch in Frankston, we treat every project like it’s going to be our next award winner. But don't just take the Chamber's word for it: listen to what your neighbors are saying.

Looking Ahead

We are deeply honored to be Chandler’s June Business of the Month. It motivates us to keep pushing our standards even higher. We are already looking forward to the 2026 Business of the Year awards, and we hope to have many more beautiful wooden decks to show for it by then.

If you are looking for a local deck builder who values craftsmanship, community, and safety above all else, we would love to talk to you. We keep the process simple: high-quality wood, professional standards, and one job at a time.
