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 Patio Shade Structures in Fontana, CA
Patio shade structures in Fontana are not a luxury. Summers here regularly push past 95°F, and the Inland Empire sun beats down on exposed patios for most of the year. William Dexter Builders INC designs and builds shade structures sized and positioned to block direct sun where it hits hardest. We work with your existing patio footprint, yard layout, and home exterior so the finished structure looks like it belongs. Every build accounts for Fontana's residential setback rules, which require open-sided detached patio covers of 200 square feet or less to sit at least three feet from rear and interior side property lines. We handle the design, structural work, and installation from start to finish. The result is a covered outdoor space you can actually use on hot afternoons, not just on mild evenings. If you are ready to stop avoiding your own backyard, call William Dexter Builders INC and schedule a site visit.
