Building Decks in Fontana for Over a Year
Here in Fontana, we see a lot of larger properties with ambitious outdoor living plans. Many customers call us for multi-level decks that connect different yard elevations or wrap around pools. The open residential lots in North Fontana give you plenty of room to build something impressive, while the newer subdivisions near Sierra Lakes often need raised decks to create usable outdoor space on sloped lots.
Fontana summers push 100 degrees regularly, which means your deck materials need to handle serious heat without warping or becoming too hot to walk on. We recommend composite decking with heat-resistant technology for most Fontana projects. These materials stay cooler underfoot and hold up to the intense UV exposure you get throughout the summer months.
Properties near the I-10 corridor often deal with dust settling on outdoor surfaces, which is another reason composite decking works well here. It cleans easily and does not require the constant maintenance that wood needs in this climate. Whether you want a simple platform deck or a custom outdoor kitchen setup, we handle custom deck design that fits your specific property.
Why Fontana Homeowners Choose Us
Fontana properties range from older ranch-style homes with flat backyards to newer two-story homes on hillside lots. We work with all types of properties and adjust our approach based on your specific site conditions. If you have a sloped yard, we design decks with proper foundation support and drainage to prevent settling or water damage.
Many Fontana customers want their decks to include shade structures because of the relentless summer sun. We build pergolas and patio covers that integrate with your deck design, giving you covered areas where you can actually enjoy being outside even in July and August. These structures also help protect your deck surface from constant UV exposure, extending its lifespan.
We also see requests for deck replacements on older homes near downtown Fontana, where existing decks have deteriorated from years of heat exposure and limited maintenance. If your deck is showing signs of rot, structural issues, or extensive fading, we provide honest assessments and clear pricing for full replacements.
Materials That Work in Fontana Heat
The temperature extremes in Fontana require specific material choices. Standard pressure-treated wood can warp and crack quickly under constant sun exposure. Composite decking with UV inhibitors stays stable and maintains its color better over time. We use brands specifically rated for high-heat climates to ensure your deck performs well year after year.
For customers who prefer the look of natural wood, we recommend hardwoods like Ipe or Cumaru that naturally resist heat damage and decay. These materials cost more upfront but require less maintenance and last longer in Fontana conditions. We walk you through the pros and cons of each option so you can make an informed decision based on your budget and maintenance preferences.
Foundation work matters more in Fontana because the soil conditions vary significantly across the city. Sandy soil near the wash areas requires different footing strategies than the denser clay soil in other neighborhoods. We assess your specific site and design foundations that will not shift or settle over time.
