RAILINGS & LIGHTING

Clean lines and subtle evening light

The right railings and lighting are what make a deck feel finished. We install clean, high-quality railings and low-voltage LED lights that keep your deck safe and make it a comfortable place to hang out after sunset.

Whether you prefer modern stainless steel cable railings to keep your view open, black powder-coated aluminum rails, or soft LED lights built into your stair risers and posts, we make sure they look clean and integrated.

LIGHTING DETAILS

Energy-efficient LED systems for your deck

Our low-voltage LED lighting runs on automated timers and uses very little electricity. We install recessed step lights, post cap fixtures, and under-rail strips that give your deck a warm, comfortable glow every evening.

  • Stair Riser & Step Lighting: Recessed LED fixtures that cast a gentle, downward glow to safely illuminate transitions.
  • Post Cap & Under-Rail Lights: Low-profile lights integrated directly into railing posts to outline the deck perimeter.
  • Smart Home Automation: WiFi-enabled transformers, zoned dimming, and astronomical timers that automatically adjust with the seasons.

FAQ

Common Questions About Railings & Lighting

Powder-coated aluminum, stainless steel cable systems, and capped composites are the gold standards. Unlike traditional wood railings, they will never warp, rot, splinter, or require seasonal painting or staining. They maintain their structural integrity and color for decades with simple occasional cleaning.

No. Our systems utilize high-efficiency, commercial-grade LEDs. A complete multi-zone deck lighting system typically consumes less electricity than a single traditional 60-watt light bulb, costing just pennies a night to operate.

Yes. All of our cable railing systems are designed and installed to meet strict local and national building codes. This includes ensuring correct vertical post spacing, cable tension to prevent deflection beyond 4 inches (the "sphere test"), and a minimum height of 36 inches for residential guards.
