Serving Highland, CA and surrounding areas. (909) 737-6946
Highland Deck and Fence builds custom decks, fences, and outdoor structures for Highland homeowners. We handle permits, work with your lot and soil conditions, and have been serving this community since 2017 - from East Highland Ranch to the neighborhoods near Base Line.
Highland backyards vary a lot - sloped foothills lots in East Highland Ranch handle very differently than flat lots near Base Line. We design every custom deck around your specific yard so the finished structure actually fits how you live.
Highland summers push 100-plus degrees, and that heat dries out wood decks fast. Boards split, post bases rot near grade, and railings loosen over time. If your deck has soft spots or shaky sections, we can diagnose the problem and fix what needs fixing.
Composite materials handle Highland's extreme heat and UV exposure better than bare wood. For homeowners in East Highland Ranch or anywhere near the foothills who want a deck that holds up without annual sealing, composite is the right move.
Most Highland lots are bounded by some combination of block walls and wood fencing. When the wood side-yard fence starts leaning or the posts rot out, we replace it correctly - set in concrete footings deep enough for our local soil conditions.
Shade is not a luxury in Highland - it is what makes outdoor space actually usable through June, July, and August. A solid patio cover or covered deck turns a baking concrete slab into a space you actually want to spend time in.
The dry heat and intense sun in Highland break down unprotected wood faster than in coastal areas. Annual or biennial staining and sealing is the single best thing you can do to extend the life of a wood deck without replacing boards prematurely.
Highland sits at roughly 1,200 feet elevation at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains, and that position shapes what outdoor structures go through here. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit, UV exposure is intense, and the clay soils throughout the San Bernardino Valley expand when wet and shrink when dry. That soil movement is one of the main reasons deck posts and concrete footings in Highland need to be set correctly - shallow footings shift, lean, and fail faster here than in areas with more stable ground.
Highland also has a meaningful wildfire risk. The foothills above the city are designated as a High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone by the state of California. Homes in these areas are subject to specific building material requirements, and any structure you add - deck, fence, pergola, or patio cover - needs to meet those standards. We know these requirements and build accordingly so you do not face an insurance or compliance problem down the road.
Our crew has been pulling permits and building in Highland since 2017. We work through the City of Highland Building and Safety Division for permit approvals and schedule inspections at the required framing and footing stages. Highland is our home base - our business address is on Catalpa Avenue - so this is not an area we service occasionally from across the county.
We have worked on homes all across Highland - from the newer streets in East Highland Ranch out near the East Highland Ranch HOA to the older neighborhoods closer to Base Line Street near City Hall. The mountain roads that climb into the San Bernardino National Forest begin just north of the city, and homes up in those foothill neighborhoods see more wind damage and fire risk than properties further south. We know what that means for material choices and how we frame outdoor structures in those locations.
For homeowners in the eastern neighborhoods, Mentone is just down the road - we serve Mentone as well and often work on back-to-back projects across both communities. Redlands is another nearby city where many Highland homeowners have family or neighbors - our Redlands service area page has details on what we cover there.
Reach out by phone or through our contact form and we will respond within one business day. We do not charge for estimates, and we do not pressure you into anything on the first call.
We come to your property, look at the site, and give you a written itemized estimate. If your project requires a permit, we will tell you upfront what that involves and what it costs - no surprises later.
We handle the permit application with the City of Highland Building and Safety Division. Once approved, we coordinate materials and schedule your build start date - typically one to two weeks after permit approval.
Most decks are built in three to seven business days. We schedule the required city inspections at each stage and walk you through the finished work before we consider the job done.
We serve all of Highland, CA including East Highland Ranch and the foothill neighborhoods. No high-pressure sales, no guesswork pricing - just a straight conversation about what your project needs.
(909) 737-6946Highland is a city of about 55,000 people in San Bernardino County, incorporated in 1987 and sitting at the base of the San Bernardino Mountains at roughly 1,200 feet elevation. The city is largely residential, with most homes built during the suburban growth years from the 1970s through the early 2000s. Single-family homes on mid-sized lots are the norm, and the vast majority have stucco exteriors, tile roofs, and concrete driveways - all of which face real wear from the heat and soil conditions here. East Highland Ranch, in the eastern part of the city, is a master-planned community with newer, larger homes, well-maintained trails, and an active HOA that sets standards for exterior improvements.
The northern edge of Highland borders the San Bernardino National Forest, and Base Line Street runs through the center of the city as one of its main east-west corridors. The city shares its western boundary with San Bernardino - we cover San Bernardino as well - and the Mentone community sits just to the east along the base of the hills. Highland homeowners tend to be long-term residents with real investment in their properties, and outdoor living space is a priority when summers are as hot and dry as they are here.
