Our Process
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you add lighting to an existing deck without major construction?
Yes. Most deck and patio lighting fixtures are designed for retrofit installation. Post cap lights, rail lights, and step lights can be added to existing structures with minimal modification. We work with your existing setup.
What about lighting for covered patios and pergolas?
Covered patios and pergolas offer great opportunities for downlighting, pendant lights, and string lighting. We can install recessed ceiling lights, surface-mount fixtures, or decorative string lights depending on the style you prefer.
Is deck lighting safe around pools?
Absolutely. All fixtures near water are rated for wet locations and installed according to electrical codes for pool proximity. Low-voltage LED systems are inherently safer than line-voltage alternatives in wet environments.
How do you control deck and patio lights?
We connect your lighting to a low-voltage transformer with timer and photocell controls for automatic operation. Smart control options are also available for app-based management from your phone.
