Learn MoreReach out by phone or through the contact form. We respond within one business day to learn about your project - what you want to build, roughly how large, and when you hope to get started. There is no pressure and no commitment at this stage.
We come to your property, measure the space, and talk through your options. You get a written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and permit fees with no vague line items. If you have an HOA, we factor that into the timeline too.
Once you approve the estimate, we handle the city permit and schedule the build. Construction on a typical deck runs one to two weeks. We coordinate city inspections, clean up daily, and walk you through the finished project before we leave.
We hold a current California contractor's license issued by the CSLB. Every project carries general liability and workers' compensation coverage - protecting you if anything unexpected happens on your property.
We visit your property, measure the space, and give you a written estimate that breaks down every cost before you commit. No phone-quote guesses, no hidden line items added after you sign.
We have been building in the Imperial Valley since 2016 and know how Calexico's extreme heat, caliche soil, and local permit process affect every project. You are not getting someone who has never worked in the desert.
We handle the City of Calexico permit application and all required inspections on every job. When we finish, you get a copy of the signed permit paperwork - documentation that protects you when you sell your home.

“They pulled the permit themselves and kept me updated at every stage. The deck was done in less than two weeks and the city inspector signed off without any issues. I was not expecting it to go that smoothly.”
Carlos M., El Centro - Custom deck design and build
“We wanted composite decking because we knew wood was not going to last in this heat. They explained the different board options, including which ones stay cooler underfoot in summer, and helped us pick the right one for our yard. Happy with how it turned out.”
Maria T., Holtville - Composite deck installation
“Our old deck had boards that were cracking and pulling away from the frame. They came out, gave us an honest assessment, and told us a full replacement made more sense than patching it. The new deck is solid and the cleanup after was thorough.”
Ruben V., Brawley - Deck repair and replacement
We respond within 1 business day. There is no obligation and no cost to get an estimate. After you submit, someone from our office will call you to schedule a free on-site visit where we measure your space and walk through your options in person.
(442) 250-1685Calexico Deck & Fence is based in Calexico and serves 12 cities and communities across the Imperial Valley - including El Centro, Brawley, and Holtville. Most estimates are scheduled within the same week you reach out, and we are familiar with the permit requirements and HOA rules in each area we serve.
Yes, significantly. UV radiation and temperatures above 110 degrees accelerate the cracking and fading of untreated wood much faster than in coastal California. Composite decking with a capped surface holds up considerably better under sustained desert sun.
Almost always. The City of Calexico requires a building permit for any deck attached to your home or elevated more than 30 inches off the ground. The permit process adds one to three weeks but protects your investment and keeps your homeowner's insurance valid.
You can check any contractor's license in about two minutes at the California Contractors State License Board website. A valid license means the contractor has passed a trade exam, carries insurance, and can be held accountable through a formal complaint process.
Composite costs more upfront but typically less over 10 to 15 years when you factor in annual staining, sealing, and board replacement costs. In Calexico's extreme heat, the maintenance gap between wood and composite is larger than in most other California markets.
October through April gives crews the most comfortable working conditions and the fastest permit turnaround. Spring is the busiest season for local builders, so scheduling your estimate in fall gives you the most flexibility on timing and pricing. The North American Deck and Railing Association covers best practices for deck construction nationwide.
It does. Caliche is a hard, calcium-rich layer common in the Imperial Valley that can be difficult to dig through and affects how deep footings need to go. A contractor unfamiliar with local soil conditions may underestimate the labor required, which leads to cost surprises mid-project.
Calexico Deck & Fence is a licensed and insured Deck Builder company based in Calexico, CA, serving 12 communities across the Imperial Valley since 2016. Our license is issued by the California Contractors State License Board, the state authority that regulates contractor licensing and enforces trade and insurance requirements across California.
Since 2016, we have completed projects across the region covering all 16 of the services listed on this site - from basic deck repairs to multi-level outdoor living spaces with kitchens and pergolas. Every project is permitted and inspected through the appropriate city building department.

If your deck frame is solid and only the surface boards are damaged, a repair or re-deck is usually the most cost-effective option. Ask your contractor to check the frame before recommending a full replacement.
If posts, beams, or ledger connections show rot or structural movement, replacement is usually cheaper in the long run than patching. A deck that has never been permitted may also need a full rebuild to get it into compliance.
Get at least three written quotes covering the same scope of work. In a smaller market like Calexico, a quote that is significantly lower than the others often reflects skipped permits, lighter framing, or unlicensed work - not a better deal.
For more on safe deck construction standards, the American Wood Council publishes a free prescriptive residential deck construction guide that covers framing, footings, and connection details. When you are ready to get started, call us at (442) 250-1685 and we will come out for a free estimate.
Calexico is a small city of about 40,000 residents sitting directly on the US-Mexico border in the Imperial Valley, with the port of entry connecting daily life on both sides of the line. According to the National Weather Service, the city regularly sees summer highs above 110 degrees Fahrenheit, making it one of the hottest communities in the United States. That heat is the single biggest factor in how we approach every outdoor project here.
Most of Calexico is made up of established residential streets with homes built between the 1950s and 1980s - many with small lots, stucco exteriors, and minimal landscaping. The city covers about nine square miles, and landmarks like the Calexico Port of Entry, Calexico High School, and the historic commercial district along First Street anchor different parts of the community. Whether your home is near the border or on the north side of town, we have worked in your neighborhood.
Homeowners in Calexico often deal with concrete slabs that crack from the daily heat cycle, wood surfaces that fade faster than expected, and backyards that are unusable from May through September without shade. A covered deck or pergola-topped outdoor space built for this specific climate can genuinely change how you use your home. We have been solving those problems for homeowners in this area since 2016.
