Deck Building

J&W Lumber is San Diego County's top resource for all of your deck building and decking material needs. More than just the products, we supply the" know how" and decking design ideas to help you make your do-it-yourself deck project look like a pro did it. Thinking about building a veranda decking? Are you interested in a hardwood deck or composite decking?

If you decide on hardwoods for your decking material, you may consider picking Redwood or Western Red Cedar,or more tropical hardwoods likeIpe and Massaranduba . Lets say you want a low maintenance deck. Then you'll want to go the composite route and pick from our complete line of Trex, fiberon, Timbertech and Boardwalk products.

Deciding on a deck design is equally as important as deciding on the decking material.

Questions you should ask yourself regarding a deck design are:

Where will the deck be located on the house?
Does your home have setbacks and easement lines that require you to not build past certain parameters?
What are the main uses of the deck, and how much room will you need?
Where will you be dining on the deck and will you need a place for a BBQ grill?
Are you considering to have a built-in hot tub or spa, screen rooms or gazebos on your deck?
Will you need privacy from your neighbors or your street? Do you have an undesirable view you want to block from the deck?
How will you get off and on the deck? Will you require steps and railing?
Will you require shade on your deck? Have you considered having a roof or arbor?
Do you want to have built-in seating around your deck or would you rather just have railing?

"My wife and I were really undecided on our backyard improvements. We had talked to so many people. Finally we got the straight scoop from the people at J&W. They recommended the right product, helped draw up the plans, and even gave us the phone number of a local contractor. Totally painless for me, and my neighbors think I am a genius. Thanks J&W!"

John B., San Diego, CA

"We just finished replacing an old deck with brand new composite decking. It changed our whole yard. There were so many choices, but the guys at J&W Lumber helped narrow it down and we got exactly what we wanted. We're thrilled with the way it came out."
