3 Kinds of Deck Lighting to Invest In

As we’ve previously mentioned, adding deck lighting can be a great design feature for your deck. If possible, it’s best to think about deck lighting options at the time of deck install–while lighting can be installed as an addition later, it’s a much easier process if everything is setup when the deck is built. There are a number of applications that might make you consider investing in deck lighting, let’s go over some.

Safety Lighting

Safety lighting should be a necessity if you’re planning on using your deck at night. For example, if your deck has steps, you might consider the addition of riser lights to make navigation easier. Another great option for safety lighting is solar-powered walkway lights. These don’t require any wiring and draw energy from sunlight to power themselves. Just be sure to install these lights in areas that aren’t obstructed by shade, otherwise you may find yourself caught in the dark.

Ambient Lighting

Ambient lighting is intended to increase the aesthetic appeal of your deck. There are two main options when considering ambient deck lighting. The first are post cap lights, which attach to your deck’s rail posts. You can add them onto every rail post cap or mix and match to create a unique look. The other option is post sleeve lights. These affix to the posts themselves and shine light directly onto the post. Post sleeve lights are a great way to highlight a specific area. Some deck owners may also opt for candles or fireplaces to improve their lighting, which has the added benefit of providing warmth during the colder months.

Task Lighting

Do you have a grill or bar on your deck? Task lighting is a great way to still make these areas accessible and usable during the night. String lighting can be a great way to light up a deck bar if it has a covering, and grill lighting accessories are available in many different options. Properly placed deck lighting can make all the amenities of your deck usable 24/7.

We could not be more pleased with the entire process and outcome of our experience with Albaugh & Sons. From the timely turnaround on coming out to give us an estimate, to the flexibility on adjusting our proposal, and to the quick and professional installation itself. I would highly recommend Albaugh & Sons to anyone in their area of serviceability.

So great to work with. Have had the pleasure of working with both sons who were knowledgeable and courteous. The entire process was easy from estimate to completion of my new deck. Both arrived on time, had my estimate for both deck and basement remodel in a couple of days. Danny, the project manager arrived on time and explained the plans, the work crew were amazing. Old deck demolished and beautiful new composite in its place in less than 2 days. Tiffany, the office manager is prompt in responding to all emails with courteous knowledgeable answers. They make you feel like you are their only customer. Look forward to working with them for my basement remodel. I 100% recommend this company.

I had a beautiful deck built almost 2 years ago. I called yesterday about a few items that have come apart such as the pvc outside corners on the rim/ band board etc. The company was very responsive and ready and eager to help. Because of this, they have made a customer for life! Not only will you get an amazing product, but it appears you get a lifetime of amazing customer service!! 100 out of 5 stars!

We needed a fence as fast as possible for 5 rescue dogs that we took on. Albaugh and Sons was able to provide a great quote and a speedy installation. My wife and I love the new fence. It has literally improved our day to day lives by being able to let the dogs run free in the back. The materials were perfect and high quality. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

I hired Albaugh and Sons to tear out our old deck and replace it with a new composite deck/ screened porch. The front office was a pleasure to deal with and kept my wife and I informed on everything. The crew did an amazing job every step of the way. I was especially impressed with their finish work. The attention to detail was impressive! What I also liked Albaugh and Sons is they had a project manager (Danny) who would occasionally pop over and answer questions and would also keep me updated on progress. I would highly recommend hiring Albaugh and Sons for any of your fence/ deck / home improvement needs.

We are very pleased with the work done by Albaugh and sons. We had them replace our side porch and they did excellent work and built it to our request. Also had them install a three tier rail fence around our property. It is excellent and looks great. We thank Danny and his deck crew and George and his fence crew for their excellent work. I recommend them for any projects you need done. Thank you very much!!
