Highland Deck and Fence serves Rialto with custom decks, vinyl and wood privacy fences, patio covers, and pergolas. We have been building for Inland Empire homeowners since 2017 and handle permits for every project we take on.

Rialto summers regularly push past 100 degrees, and vinyl fencing holds up in that heat without splitting, warping, or needing repainting. For the tract homes and newer subdivisions throughout Rialto, vinyl fence installation is a low-maintenance solution that keeps looking good for years.
Wood privacy fences are still one of the most common requests we get in Rialto, especially from homeowners replacing aging side-yard or rear-yard fencing on 1960s and 1970s tract homes. We set posts in concrete footings sized for the clay-bearing soils typical to this area.
Rialto is a city of single-family homes on standard tract lots, and a well-designed deck turns unused backyard concrete into actual living space. Whether you are in an older neighborhood near the city center or in a newer subdivision up near the 210 Freeway, we design for the yard in front of us.
A patio cover or lattice structure is one of the highest-value additions you can make to a Rialto backyard, turning a sun-blasted concrete pad into somewhere you actually want to spend time from April through October. We build attached and freestanding covers to match your existing roofline and stucco finish.
Composite decking handles Rialto's 287-plus sunny days a year without the UV fading, cracking, and splinter problems that come with unprotected wood. Homeowners in newer Rialto subdivisions with HOA requirements often choose composite for its clean look and minimal upkeep.
Rialto backyards are often wide and flat, and a pergola gives that open space a defined focal point without enclosing it. We build pergolas over existing patios and decks throughout the city, and we pull the permit if one is required for your lot and structure type.
The majority of Rialto homes were built between the 1950s and 1990s on concrete slab foundations - the standard construction method for Southern California tract development. That slab sits on soils that contain clay, and clay moves. It expands in wet winters and shrinks in dry summers, and that movement is one of the leading causes of cracked driveways, uneven patios, and settling fence posts throughout Rialto. A contractor who does not account for this when setting footings will produce work that starts to fail within a few seasons.
Rialto summers regularly reach 100 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit, and the city averages around 287 sunny days per year. That level of UV exposure and heat takes a real toll on roofing, caulk, exterior paint, and wood structures. Fence boards that were never properly sealed will dry out, split, and rot at post bases faster than most homeowners expect. The fall Santa Ana wind season adds another variable - gusts that exceed 60 mph can knock loose fence panels, damage patio covers, and send debris across your roof. Homes in newer subdivisions near the 210 Freeway corridor sometimes have HOA requirements that add another layer of planning to any exterior project.
Our crew works throughout Rialto regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect deck builder and fence work here. Rialto sits between Fontana and San Bernardino along the I-10 corridor, with the 210 Freeway crossing the northern part of the city. Interstate 10 and Foothill Boulevard are the main east-west routes we use when moving between job sites in this area. The City of Rialto Building and Safety Division on Riverside Avenue handles permit applications for residential construction, and we pull from there for every project that requires a city permit.
The city divides fairly clearly between its older neighborhoods closer to Rialto Avenue and the city center, where you find the postwar tract homes from the 1950s and 1960s, and the newer subdivisions in the northern sections near Eisenhower High School and the 210 Freeway that were built in the 1990s and 2000s. Those newer homes tend to be larger, often two-story, and some sit within HOA communities that have specific requirements for fence materials and deck finishes. We are familiar with that process and work within it.
Bloomington is directly south of Rialto along Cedar Avenue, and we regularly take on projects in both communities - our Bloomington service area page covers what we build there. Fontana is right next door to the west - we serve Fontana as well and often schedule Rialto and Fontana jobs on the same day.

(909) 737-6946Rialto is a city of roughly 103,000 people in San Bernardino County, incorporated in 1911 and built out largely during the postwar decades. It sits on the flat valley floor at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, about 55 miles east of downtown Los Angeles, between Fontana to the west and San Bernardino to the east. Interstate 10 runs along the city's south side and State Route 210 crosses the north - two routes that Rialto commuters use daily and that give the city good access across the Inland Empire. The Rialto Unified School District serves over 24,000 students across more than 30 schools, which reflects how family-heavy the city's neighborhoods are.
Most of Rialto's residential streets are lined with single-family homes on 6,000 to 8,000 square foot lots - the standard tract development layout of the Inland Empire. Homes in the older sections near Rialto Avenue and the civic center tend to be one-story with composition roofs and stucco exteriors typical of postwar construction. The northern neighborhoods near the 210 corridor are newer, often two-story, and some are in master-planned communities with HOA oversight. Rialto neighbors Colton to the southeast and San Bernardino to the east - cities with similar housing stock and shared local conditions.
