Highland Deck and Fence builds composite decks, wood and vinyl fences, patio covers, and pergolas for Fontana homeowners. We have served the Inland Empire since 2017 and respond to every inquiry within one business day.
Fontana summers push well past 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and composite decking handles that heat far better than bare wood - it does not crack, splinter, or need annual sealing. We install composite decks on homes throughout Fontana, from the ranch-home neighborhoods near the I-10 to the newer two-story builds in North Fontana.
Fontana has a wide mix of lot sizes and home ages, from compact 1970s ranch homes near the city center to larger lots in North Fontana subdivisions built in the late 1990s and 2000s. A custom design ensures the deck actually fits the property rather than following a generic floor plan.
Owner-occupied homes in Fontana - about 60% of the housing stock - tend to have private rear yards where a solid wood privacy fence is still the most common choice. We set posts in concrete at depths appropriate for the alluvial soils common across the valley floor.
A covered patio or deck shade structure is close to essential in Fontana - without shade, a west-facing backyard is unusable from noon onward for most of the summer. We build solid and lattice patio covers that work with the dimensions of your existing outdoor space.
Many Fontana homes from the 1970s and early 2000s have original wood decks that have never been replaced or properly sealed. Sun, heat, and moisture cycling cause post bases to rot, decking boards to split, and railings to loosen - we assess and repair or replace depending on what the structure actually needs.
Homes in northern Fontana often sit on hilly terrain where the ground drops away from the back of the house, making a multi-level deck the natural solution for connecting interior living space to the yard below. We design for slope, drainage, and the specific footprint of your lot.
Fontana is one of the hotter cities in San Bernardino County, with summer temperatures regularly exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit and occasional heat waves pushing into the 110s. That level of sustained heat does real damage to outdoor structures. Wood decking that was never properly sealed dries out and splits within a few seasons. Composite and treated materials hold up significantly better, but even they require correct installation to handle the expansion and contraction that comes with the Inland Empire temperature swings between summer days and winter nights. Santa Ana wind events, which can gust above 60 mph in Fontana, add another layer of stress on fence posts and deck railings that were not properly anchored.
The housing stock in Fontana spans roughly five decades, from older 1970s ranch homes near the city center to newer two-story tract developments in North Fontana built during the growth of the 1990s and early 2000s. Older homes often have aging concrete flatwork, original wood structures that have never been replaced, and drainage conditions that have shifted over decades of soil settling. Newer subdivisions hit the age range where big-ticket exterior items - decks, fences, and patio covers - start needing first-time replacement. Knowing which conditions to expect on a given property and neighborhood makes planning and pricing much more accurate.
Our crew works throughout Fontana regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect deck builder and fence work here. Fontana sits at the western edge of the Inland Empire where the flatlands rise toward the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, and elevations vary from around 1,000 feet near the I-10 corridor to over 1,500 feet in the northern neighborhoods. That elevation change affects drainage and soil stability in ways that matter for footing depth and concrete work.
Fontana Park and the Aquatic Center on Arrow Boulevard is one of the most central community landmarks in the city. The Auto Club Speedway in the southern part of Fontana is how most long-time residents describe the city when talking to people outside the area, and it sits in a part of town with older single-story homes that make up a significant share of the residential deck and fence work we do. We pull permits through the City of Fontana Building and Safety Division and are familiar with how their review process typically runs.
Rialto borders Fontana to the east along the I-10 corridor, and we handle projects in both cities regularly - our Rialto service area page covers what we build there. Bloomington is just south of Fontana and is another area where we work frequently - see our Bloomington service page for more details.
Reach us by phone or through the contact form and we will respond within one business day. There is no charge for an estimate and no obligation on the first call.
We visit the Fontana property, assess the site conditions and any existing structures, and provide a written itemized estimate. If a permit is required, we explain exactly what that involves and what it adds to the total cost.
We submit the permit application to the City of Fontana Building and Safety Division and coordinate materials. Most projects begin one to two weeks after permit approval.
Most fence projects complete in one to three days. Deck builds typically take three to seven business days. We schedule required city inspections and walk you through the finished project before we leave.
We serve Fontana homeowners across the city - from the older neighborhoods near the I-10 to North Fontana. No obligation, no pressure, and we respond within one business day.
(909) 737-6946Fontana is one of the largest cities in San Bernardino County, with a population of roughly 214,000 people as of the 2020 Census. It sits at the western edge of the Inland Empire, where the valley floor transitions into the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. The city grew rapidly from the 1970s onward, which means the housing stock spans a wide range of ages - mid-century ranch homes in established neighborhoods near the city center, and larger two-story tract homes in the North Fontana developments that went up during the suburban boom of the 1990s and 2000s. About 60% of homes are owner-occupied, making it a city where homeowners invest in long-term improvements. You can read more about the city's history and development on the Fontana, California Wikipedia article.
Fontana is also one of the core cities of the Inland Empire region - the broad area east of Los Angeles that most residents identify with when describing where they live. The Auto Club Speedway in the southern part of the city has drawn regional attention since opening in 1997, and Fontana Park on Arrow Boulevard serves as the main community recreation hub. Neighboring San Bernardino lies to the east, and Rialto sits immediately east of Fontana along the I-10 corridor - we serve homeowners in all three cities.
