Arellano Construction builds custom decks, covered patios, pool decks, and pergolas for homeowners in Ooltewah. We're based in Chattanooga, about twenty-five minutes west, and Ooltewah is one of the areas we build in most often.
Ooltewah is where a lot of Hamilton County's new construction has gone, and that shapes the work. Newer homes, larger lots, established HOA neighborhoods, and builder-grade decks that were sized to pass inspection rather than to actually live on. A great deal of what we build here is replacing or expanding something a production builder put in five to fifteen years ago.
Every service we offer in Chattanooga, we build here.
⁃ Building in Ooltewah ⁃
Newer construction creates a different set of problems than the mountain does.
Production builders install the smallest deck the plan allows. Ten years in, the boards are cupping and the space was never big enough for a table and chairs. Replacing and expanding one of those is among the most common projects we take on in Ooltewah, and the existing framing usually needs evaluating before anything gets built on top of it.
Unlike the mountain, most Ooltewah lots have limited mature tree cover. That means real sun on the deck surface through the afternoon. It drives the conversation toward covered structures, pergolas, and lighter composite colors that stay cooler underfoot.
Most Ooltewah subdivisions run an architectural review process with specific requirements for materials, colors, and setbacks. We prepare the submission package and design to what your covenants allow, so approval happens before the schedule depends on it.
Lot sizes out here support what a city lot can't - larger footprints, pool decks, outdoor kitchens, and separate structures like pergolas and gazebos set away from the house. If you have the yard, the design isn't constrained the way it would be closer in.

Composite is the majority of what we build in Ooltewah, and full-sun exposure is a large part of why. Wood in direct sun grays, checks, and splinters, and needs staining every couple of seasons to hold up. Composite holds its color and never needs sealing. Board color matters more here than it does on shaded lots - lighter tones run noticeably cooler in the afternoon, and we'll walk you through that when we bring samples out.
We build primarily with Trex and TimberTech. Both offer a range of colors and grain patterns, and both carry long manufacturer warranties. Which one fits your project depends on the look you're after and where the deck sits — we'll bring samples to the estimate so you're choosing off real boards in your own light, not off a screen.
