Low-Voltage Lighting
Stair riser lights, post caps, under-rail strips. Plan it in during the build — way cheaper than retrofitting.
Z-Bolt Tip · Wire it before the deck boards go down or you'll regret it.

Step 06 · Upgrades
Make it actually yours.
These are the choices that turn a deck into an outdoor room. We'll talk you through what makes sense for how you actually use the space.
$$$
Pergolas & Covers
Cedar pergolas, aluminum louvered covers (Struxure-style), or solid roofs. Shade Utah's afternoon sun and extend the season.
Z-Bolt Tip · Louvered aluminum is pricey but the closest thing to year-round outdoor living.
$$
Privacy Walls & Screens
Cedar slat walls, composite privacy panels, or planters with built-in screens. Block a neighbor's window or that one ugly view.
Z-Bolt Tip · We design these to look intentional — not slapped on after the fact.
$$
Hot Tub Pads & Reinforced Decks
Hot tubs are heavy — 5,000+ lbs filled. Framing has to be engineered for it. We can build it into the deck or as a separate pad.
Z-Bolt Tip · Tell us at the consult, not after. Retrofitting is 3× the cost.
$ – $$$
Heaters, Fire Features & Outlets
Overhead infrared heaters, gas fire tables, weatherproof outlets, hardwired speakers. Coordinate with your electrician early.
Z-Bolt Tip · We sub our electrical to local pros — they'll be there during framing.
$$
Custom Stairs & Landings
Wider treads, wrap-around stairs, mid-landings with planters or seating. Stairs are the first thing guests see — worth doing right.
Z-Bolt Tip · Wider than code (38"+) makes a huge difference in how a deck feels.
