CHS Custom Decks & Design is your trusted deck builders for safe and attractive outdoor spaces. We offer outdoor deck lights that merge style with safety, elevating your backyard with intentional design.
Working with CHS Custom Decks & Design means you get more than a light fixture. You get function, safety, and visual appeal in every install. From post cap lighting to pathway illumination, we match each system to your outdoor layout.

Proper lighting around stairs, railings, and pathways helps reduce the risk of trips and falls, especially during evening hours when visibility naturally drops.

From soft glows to dramatic highlights, lighting sets the tone. Whether you're hosting guests or unwinding solo, a well-lit deck elevates the entire mood of your outdoor space.

Your deck doesn't need to go dark after sunset. With the right lighting, your evenings outside can stretch longer—more dinners, more conversations, more quiet moments.

Integrated lighting makes your deck look complete and thoughtfully designed, which translates to stronger curb appeal and potential returns when it's time to sell.

Modern LED systems offer impressive brightness with minimal power usage. Some setups even allow smart scheduling or solar integration, reducing long-term costs.
We work closely with you to plan the perfect lighting layout, considering your deck’s structure, intended use, and personal style for a customized, balanced look.
Our team handles every part of the installation process—from mounting fixtures to adjusting placement—ensuring a clean, secure, and efficient setup that lasts.
Licensed and experienced, we take care of all wiring and connections in-house. No need to hire outside electricians or worry about complicated electrical code requirements.
Take control of your lighting with smart technology. We install systems that let you schedule, dim, or adjust brightness using your smartphone, tablet, or home automation setup.
We seamlessly tie in your deck lighting with surrounding landscape features like walkways, gardens, or patios to create a cohesive outdoor lighting experience that flows naturally.

TimberTech’s lighting systems are crafted with the same attention to detail that makes their decking materials so popular. Their LED fixtures are low-maintenance, eco-conscious, and seamlessly integrate with composite decking for a clean, unified look.

Known for bold design and outdoor innovation, Deckorators offers lighting that complements a wide variety of deck styles. Their post cap lights, stair lighting, and recessed fixtures provide both function and visual flair without overwhelming the space.

Westbury lighting focuses on subtle sophistication. Their fixtures are designed to pair beautifully with aluminum railing systems, creating understated accents that highlight architectural lines and outdoor features without drawing too much attention to themselves.

The workers were very pleasant and our questions were answered quickly throughout the project.Posted on Google Brett HansonAugust 31, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. CHS just finished our deck rebuild. We had a great experience throughout the whole process. The communication was great, the crew was professional and did great work and the deck looks amazing. We had quite a few weeds growing around the deck, which I planned to clean up once the job was done, but the guys even did some weeding and left everything looking better than when they showed up.Posted on Google Colleen KalinaAugust 30, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We hired Chuck & Heather at CHS Custom Decks & Design to install under-decking and build a custom outdoor bench, the result exceeded our expectations. From the first consultation they were professional, listened to our ideas, offered smart suggestions, and gave a clear, fair estimate. The under-deck system looks clean, sheds water effectively, and has transformed the space into a usable, dry area; the bench is beautifully built, comfortable, and perfectly matched to our style. The crew was punctual, efficient, and left the site tidy each day. We’re very happy with the craftsmanship and would recommend CHS Custom Decks & Design to anyone looking for thoughtful design and reliable installation.
