Learn MoreReach out by phone or through the contact form. We respond within 1 business day. We will ask a few short questions about your yard, what you are thinking about building, and your general timeline. No commitment needed at this stage - just a quick conversation to see if it makes sense to move forward.
We come to your home, measure the space, and walk through design options with you in person. You see exactly what fits your yard and your budget. We then prepare a written proposal that breaks down materials and labor clearly - no vague ballparks, no hidden line items. Most proposals are ready within a week of the site visit.
Once you approve the proposal, we handle the permit application through the City of Colton. When approval comes through, the crew gets to work on the agreed schedule. We clean up at the end of every workday and keep you updated on progress. When the build is complete and the city inspection passes, we do a final walkthrough with you before we call it done.
We are licensed through the California Contractors State License Board and carry full general liability and workers compensation coverage. You can verify our license number on the CSLB website before you sign anything.
Our estimates are free, written, and itemized. We come to your property, measure the space, and give you a clear breakdown of what things cost. No pressure, no follow-up sales calls, no bait-and-switch pricing after you sign.
We are not a national franchise. We are a local company that works exclusively in the Inland Empire. We know Colton's permit process, its soil conditions, and the specific demands this climate puts on outdoor structures - because we live and work here too.
We pull every required permit and do not consider a job finished until it passes the city inspection. Unpermitted work can create real problems at resale. With us, your project is fully documented and legally compliant from day one.

"We had a rough idea of what we wanted and they turned it into a real plan. The crew showed up every day they said they would, finished in two weeks, and the deck passed inspection the first time. It changed how we use our backyard."
Marcus T., Colton - Custom Deck Design and Build
"Our old wood fence had been falling apart for years. They pulled the old posts, leveled everything out, and put up a clean vinyl fence that actually looks like it belongs on the property. No mess left behind either."
Diana R., San Bernardino - Vinyl Fence Installation
"I asked about three different contractors for a composite deck replacement. These guys were the only ones who explained the permit process upfront and gave me an itemized quote. The finished deck is solid and we have been on it every weekend since."

Colton summers regularly push past 100 degrees Fahrenheit, which dries out untreated wood and causes composite boards to heat up underfoot. Choosing the right material - and the right color - for a high-heat, high-UV environment can make your deck noticeably more comfortable and longer-lasting.
In California, a building permit is required for any deck attached to the home or elevated more than 30 inches off the ground. The California Department of Housing and Community Development sets statewide code minimums, which local jurisdictions like Colton adopt and enforce through their own building departments.
Much of the Inland Empire sits on expansive clay soils that swell when wet and shrink when dry. This movement can push deck footings out of position if they were not dug deep enough. Asking a contractor how they handle footing depth for local soil conditions is one of the most important questions you can ask.
Wood decks need sealing or staining every two to three years to stay in good shape. Composite decks need only occasional cleaning. In Southern California's dry climate, wood decks that are not maintained regularly tend to crack and splinter within five to ten years - often faster than homeowners expect.
Any contractor in California doing work over $500 must hold a valid license from the California Contractors State License Board. You can check any contractor's license status, type, and complaint history directly on the CSLB website. A contractor who does not want to share their license number is one worth walking away from.
The Inland Empire experiences Santa Ana wind events - hot, dry gusts that carry fine dust and debris. These winds can affect concrete curing times and deposit grit on fresh lumber or composite boards. Fall and early spring tend to be the most comfortable building windows, though Colton's mild winters make year-round construction workable.
Colton Deck and Fence is a licensed and insured deck builder company based in Colton, CA, serving 12 cities across the Inland Empire since 2020. We hold an active contractor's license through the California Contractors State License Board, which requires passing a trade examination and maintaining current insurance coverage. We have completed projects across all 16 services we offer, from basic deck repairs to multi-level custom builds with pergolas and outdoor kitchens. If you want to learn more about how we work and what to expect when you hire us, visit our About page.
If the surface boards are worn but the frame, posts, and footings are solid, repair makes sense. If more than a third of the boards are damaged, or if the posts or ledger board show rot, a full replacement is usually more cost-effective and safer long-term. The North American Deck and Railing Association publishes free safety checklists for homeowners.
Colton's mild winters make deck construction possible year-round, but spring and fall are the most comfortable windows for the crew and for you to enjoy the finished product quickly. If you want a deck ready for summer, submit your permit application in late winter - permit review adds two to four weeks before construction can start.
Many of Colton's newer neighborhoods are governed by homeowners associations with their own rules about deck materials, colors, and size. HOA approval is separate from the city permit - you need both. Check with your HOA before finalizing a design so you do not have to make changes after materials are ordered.

Colton is a city of about 54,000 people in San Bernardino County, shaped by its history as a major railroad hub. The Colton Crossing - one of the busiest rail intersections in the country - still runs through the middle of the city today, and the Santa Ana River follows the southern edge of town. The city sits in the heart of the Inland Empire's flat valley floor, with foothills rising toward the San Bernardino Mountains on the northern edge.
Most of Colton's housing stock was built between the 1940s and 1980s - ranch-style single-family homes on modest lots, many of them owner-occupied by long-term residents. Landmarks like Arrowhead Regional Medical Center - the main public hospital for San Bernardino County, located right in Colton - and the headquarters of Stater Bros. Markets are touchstones for local residents. The city's flat lots, expansive clay soils, and Inland Empire heat create consistent demand for well-built outdoor structures that hold up year after year.
Colton Deck and Fence knows Colton's neighborhoods - from the streets near downtown to the ranch homes closer to the Grand Terrace border - and we understand the specific conditions here: intense summer heat, shifting soils, and a year-round outdoor season that puts real demands on any structure in your backyard. If your home is in Colton and you are thinking about a deck, fence, pergola, or any outdoor project, we are the local team to call.
