Rialto Wood Construction

Yes. The City of Rialto requires building permits for patio covers, both attached and freestanding, as well as decks over 30 inches above grade and any structural addition to your home. BPP Construction manages the entire permit process through Rialto Development Services, including plan preparation, submittal, and scheduling all required inspections. With 35 years of experience navigating Inland Empire building departments, we keep your project compliant and on schedule.

For Rialto’s hot, dry climate we use pressure-treated Douglas fir for structural framing, it offers excellent strength and termite resistance. For visible components like rafters, posts, and railings, we recommend redwood or western red cedar, which resist splitting and look beautiful with age. All exposed wood receives a protective sealant to guard against the intense UV exposure common along the Route 66 corridor and throughout the San Bernardino Valley.

Most residential deck projects in Rialto take between 7 and 14 business days of on-site construction. Permit processing through the City of Rialto adds additional time depending on plan complexity and current department workload. We provide a detailed timeline during your free quote that accounts for permits, materials, and build time. Call (909) 227-4193 to schedule yours.

Absolutely. If you have received a code enforcement notice from the City of Rialto regarding an unpermitted patio cover, shed, carport, or other structure, we can guide you through the resolution process. Our service includes structural assessment, retroactive permit application, any required modifications to meet current code, and coordination with Rialto inspectors through final sign-off. We handle these cases across the Inland Empire on a regular basis.

BPP Construction has been building in the Inland Empire since 1990, long before much of Rialto’s current development existed. We bring 35 years of carpentry knowledge, transparent pricing, and a personal commitment to quality that you will not get from larger outfits. Owner Ben is on-site for every project. We build it right the first time, and we stand behind our work.

It can, and it is worth solving before we build, not after. Standing water around footings keeps the soil saturated, and on the expansive clay common in parts of Rialto that means more seasonal movement under your posts. During the on-site visit we look at how your yard drains, where water sits, and where it needs to go. Sometimes the fix is as simple as setting the footings deeper and adding a gravel base; other times it means a small grading correction or a drain so water leaves the post area. We would rather flag a drainage issue at the quote stage and build the structure to last than ignore it and watch it cause problems two winters down the road.
