Safety and Elevation
An 8½-foot elevated deck requires precision, safe access, and a finished appearance from every angle. The homeowner needed something that would last without constant maintenance.
Prime Home Improvement built a unified Dark Cocoa deck with black railing and 23 integrated low-voltage lights designed for both safety and visual appeal.
Dark Cocoa Throughout
One composite color, decking, border, and fascia, creates visual cohesion on an elevated structure. Dark Cocoa reads as intentional and complete from the yard below and above. Black Trex railing provides contrast while keeping the visual weight in balance.
23 Lights for Elevation
Thirteen riser lights and 10 wedge lights ensure safe nighttime passage while transforming the elevated deck into a premium destination after dark. The lighting makes evening use functional and extends the visual appeal.

- Decking: Dark Cocoa composite throughout creates visual unity across the elevated structure.
