Redlands Deck and Fence builds covered patio covers, custom decks, pergolas, and fencing for Fontana homeowners. We have served the Inland Empire since 2020 and understand the city well enough to get projects permitted and built efficiently.
Fontana summers regularly push past 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and a solid-roof patio cover attached to your house can drop the temperature in your outdoor area by 20 degrees or more compared to an uncovered space. Our covered deck and patio cover service covers wood-frame, alumawood, and solid roof structures designed for Fontana heat loads and Santa Ana wind requirements.
Fontana has two distinct eras of housing: older ranch-style homes from the 1970s and 1980s near the city center, and larger two-story homes in North Fontana built in the 1990s and 2000s. We design decks that suit the scale and style of your specific home rather than applying a one-size approach.
Pergolas are a popular backyard upgrade in Fontana neighborhoods where homeowners want partial shade without a fully enclosed structure. We engineer pergola footings and rafter connections for the Santa Ana wind loads common in this part of the Inland Empire.
Vinyl fencing holds up well in Fontana conditions because it does not absorb the heat that causes wood to dry and crack, and it does not need repainting after intense UV seasons. It is a common choice in North Fontana neighborhoods where HOAs often specify clean, uniform fence aesthetics.
Composite decking is a strong choice for Fontana homeowners because it handles extreme heat and UV exposure far better than untreated wood, and it does not require the regular sealing schedule that wood demands in this climate. We install composite boards rated for high-temperature Inland Empire conditions.
Older Fontana homes near the city center frequently have backyard decks from the 1970s and 1980s that were never updated and show it: split boards, corroded fasteners, and posts that have shifted with the soil. We assess what is salvageable and what needs to be rebuilt to current code before recommending a plan.
Fontana is one of the largest cities in San Bernardino County, and it has a wide range of housing stock - from 1970s single-story ranch homes near the I-10 to newer two-story subdivisions in the North Fontana foothills at elevations above 1,500 feet. The two parts of the city face somewhat different conditions. Homes closer to the freeway sit on flatter terrain with more compacted soils and suffer the most from summer heat trapped in the valley floor. Homes in North Fontana benefit from slightly cooler temperatures but face steeper lot grades, more complex drainage, and a higher frequency of frost on winter nights.
Santa Ana wind events hit Fontana directly, with fall and winter gusts regularly exceeding 60 mph. Patio covers, pergolas, and fence panels not properly anchored to footings sized for those loads can fail in a single wind event. The City of Fontana building code addresses this with specific requirements for patio cover attachment and footing depth, which means unpermitted structures are not just a legal issue - they are a real safety risk. Many of the older homes near the city center also have deferred maintenance on decks and fencing that has compounded over decades of Inland Empire heat cycles.
Our crew works throughout Fontana regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect deck builder work here. Fontana permit applications go through the City of Fontana Building and Safety Division, and projects in North Fontana HOA neighborhoods often require a separate architectural review before the city permit can move forward. Having both processes handled by the same contractor saves homeowners a lot of back-and-forth.
Fontana is a city of roughly 214,000 people - one of the largest in San Bernardino County - and the diversity of housing across its 42 square miles is real. We know the neighborhoods near the Auto Club Speedway in the south, the older residential streets around Fontana Park, and the newer master-planned communities off Summit Avenue in the north. The 210 Freeway corridor divides a lot of these neighborhoods and it is a useful reference point when explaining where a project is located.
We also serve neighboring Rialto to the east, and many homeowners in both cities are dealing with the same combination of aging housing stock and Inland Empire climate conditions. Our experience in both communities means we come prepared for what Fontana lots typically look like before we ever set foot on your property.
Call or submit a request online and we reply within one business day. We will ask a few questions about your project and find a time to visit your Fontana property that fits your schedule.
We visit your property, assess the site conditions, discuss the project scope, and provide a written estimate at no charge. For North Fontana HOA projects, we will also identify what documentation the HOA will need before city permits can be pulled.
We handle the City of Fontana permit application and all required inspections. Construction typically begins within days of permit approval and most projects are completed within one to three weeks.
We walk through the completed work with you, confirm the final inspection was signed off, and leave your property clean. Questions that come up after completion are handled promptly.
We serve Fontana and the surrounding Inland Empire. Free estimates, no obligation.
(909) 488-7740Fontana is one of the largest and fastest-growing cities in San Bernardino County, with a population of about 214,000 people spread across 42 square miles at the western edge of the Inland Empire. The city sits where the flat valley floor meets the San Gabriel Mountain foothills, and that geography creates two distinct neighborhood characters. Older areas near the I-10 and the historic city center feature single-story stucco ranch homes built in the 1970s and 1980s, with modest backyards and decades of deferred maintenance to work through. North Fontana, developed heavily in the 1990s and early 2000s, has larger two-story homes, wider streets, and newer infrastructure, with many properties now hitting the 20-to-30-year mark where roofs, HVAC systems, and outdoor structures start to need serious attention.
The Auto Club Speedway in the southern part of the city is one of Fontana's most recognizable landmarks, drawing NASCAR fans from across the region on race weekends. Fontana Park and the civic center on Arrow Boulevard serve as community anchors for residents across the city. Fontana is also a major logistics hub, with large warehouse and distribution centers that employ many local residents. Neighboring Bloomington to the southeast and San Bernardino to the east share the same climate conditions and housing-era mix, and we work regularly in all three communities.
