Wood Deck Installation

Why Wood Decks Never Go Out of Style

There is something timeless about a real wood deck. The natural grain, the warm tones, and the solid feel under your feet create an outdoor space that feels inviting and authentic. Wood decks have been the standard for decades because they offer unmatched beauty at an affordable price. If you want a classic look and do not mind a bit of maintenance, wood is still one of the best choices.

We build wood decks all over Fontana using pressure-treated lumber, cedar, and redwood. Each type has its own benefits, and we can help you choose the right one for your budget and style. Whether you are adding a small back porch or a large entertaining space, a wood deck gives you that natural outdoor feel you cannot get with synthetic materials.

Choosing the Right Wood for Your Deck

Not all wood is created equal when it comes to deck building. Here are the most popular options we install for Fontana homeowners:

• Pressure-treated pine: The most affordable option, treated to resist rot and insects. Great for framing and budget-friendly deck surfaces.
• Cedar: Naturally resistant to decay and insects, with a beautiful reddish tone. More expensive than pressure-treated but worth it for the rich color.
• Redwood: Premium wood with natural oils that resist moisture and rot. Gorgeous appearance and long lifespan if maintained properly.
• Tropical hardwoods: Extremely dense and durable, with exotic colors. High-end option for homeowners who want something unique.

How We Build Your Wood Deck

Building a wood deck takes skill and attention to detail. We have been doing this for years, and we know how to create a structure that is both beautiful and built to last.

Step 1: Foundation and Framing

We start by setting concrete footings and installing pressure-treated posts and beams. This foundation supports the entire deck and keeps it stable for decades. Proper spacing and leveling are critical at this stage.

Step 2: Decking Installation

Once the frame is ready, we install the deck boards. We space them properly for drainage and use stainless-steel screws or hidden fasteners for a clean finish. Every board is carefully placed to ensure a smooth, uniform surface.

Step 3: Railings and Finishing

We add railings and stairs that match your deck style. Then we sand the entire surface and apply a protective stain or sealant to enhance the wood grain and protect it from the elements. Learn more about our staining and sealing services.

Keeping Your Wood Deck Looking Great

Wood decks require regular maintenance to stay in top shape. That means cleaning, sealing, and occasional sanding. With proper care, a wood deck can last 15 to 20 years or more. If you prefer something with less upkeep, consider our composite deck installation instead.

We can handle all your deck maintenance needs, from annual sealing to full restoration. A little care goes a long way in protecting your investment and keeping your outdoor space beautiful. For more information about our deck services, visit our homepage.
