Julian and Ramona are in state-designated fire hazard severity zones, and standard pressure-treated wood decking may not meet the Class B or Class A ignition-resistant material requirements that some backcountry jurisdictions and insurance carriers now require. We check the CAL FIRE zone designation and local ordinance for each backcountry address before specifying any wood species or treatment level.

What is the difference between redwood and cedar for a San Diego deck?
Both resist rot and insects naturally. Redwood is slightly denser and more stable in wet-dry cycles, which matters near the coast. Cedar is lighter, easier to work, and slightly less expensive. Both need sealing every two to three years to hold color; left unsealed, both weather to a gray that many homeowners actually prefer.
How often does a wood deck need to be sealed in San Diego?
Every two to three years is the general rule. In direct inland sun the finish breaks down faster; in coastal shade it holds longer. We can reseal an existing deck as part of a repair visit, or we can show you the right penetrating oil finish to apply yourself.
