Jeff and his team installed a large Patio Cover at our house and we couldn’t be happier with it. When I reached out for a quote, Jeff showed up personally (which I loved) and made me feel confident in his skillset and ability to get the job done. We opted for all the bells and whistles with GFI switches, ceiling fans, post lights and recessed lighting. Jeffs team did a great job with the installation and are highly professional. Jeff was nice enough to come out to get everything just right after the installation multiple times. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a patio cover or rain gutters in the Southern California area. 5 stars!

Expert Custom Patio Design in Fontana, CA
Custom patio design in Fontana starts with understanding how you actually use your backyard. At William Dexter Builders INC, we work with you to plan a layout that fits your lot, your home's style, and the way your family gathers outside. Fontana sits in the Inland Empire, where summer temperatures regularly push past 100°F and the sun is intense year-round. That means every design decision, from surface material to shade placement, needs to account for heat, UV exposure, and low rainfall. Many Fontana homes also sit on clay-heavy or alluvial soil that shifts over time, so proper subgrade preparation is built into every project we take on. We cover the full scope: layout planning, material selection, grading, and construction. Whether your yard is a compact tract-home lot or a larger property in North Fontana, we size the design to what you have. Call William Dexter Builders INC to schedule your on-site consultation and get a clear plan for your new patio.

Custom Patio Design FAQ
Common questions about custom patio design in Fontana, CA.
Yes, we manage both the design and the build from start to finish. Fontana homeowners work with one team throughout the entire project, which keeps communication clear and the work consistent.
Fontana's soil varies by area, with clay-heavy ground in the south and alluvial sandy soil in the north, and both can shift under a slab if not prepared correctly. We assess soil conditions on-site before any work begins so the base is built to last.
Yes, we design patios for compact lots as well as larger properties across Fontana. The layout is planned around your actual yard dimensions, not a standard template.
Come with an idea of how you want to use the space, whether that's dining, entertaining, or relaxing in the shade. Any photos of styles you like are helpful, but you do not need a finished plan before we meet.
Shade planning is a practical part of any Fontana patio design because afternoon temperatures regularly exceed 100°F in summer. We factor sun angle and heat exposure into the layout so the space stays usable throughout the day.
