Effective date: January 1, 2026. Last updated: January 1, 2026.
By accessing or using the website at visaliadeckandfence.com, or by engaging Visalia Deck & Fence ("we", "us", "our") for any services, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use our Site or engage our services.
These terms apply to all visitors to the Site and to all customers who enter into a service agreement with Visalia Deck & Fence. Where a written contract exists for a specific project, that contract governs the project. These terms apply to all other interactions.
Visalia Deck & Fence provides residential deck construction, fence installation, pergola installation, and related outdoor living services to homeowners in Visalia, CA and the surrounding Central Valley area.
Our services include, but are not limited to: custom deck design and build, composite and wood deck installation, deck repair and replacement, vinyl and wood fence installation, pergola installation, covered patio construction, screened porches, pool decks, and deck railing installation.
We reserve the right to decline any project request at our discretion. Submission of a contact form or estimate request does not constitute a service agreement. A project begins only when both parties have signed a written contract.
Estimates provided by Visalia Deck & Fence are good-faith projections based on the scope of work described at the time of the estimate. Estimates are not final quotes. A binding price is set out only in a signed written contract.
Estimates may change if the scope of work changes, if site conditions differ from what was described, if material prices change significantly before work begins, or if unforeseen conditions are discovered during the project. We will notify you in writing before proceeding with any change that affects the project price.
Change orders for additional work or modifications to the agreed scope must be agreed to in writing by both parties before the additional work is performed. Verbal approvals for change orders are not binding.
Project start dates are estimates and may shift due to permit timelines, weather, material availability, or scheduling constraints. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you as early as possible if a scheduled start date needs to change.
If you need to cancel or postpone a project after signing a contract, please notify us in writing as soon as possible. Cancellation terms are set out in your project contract. Work already performed or materials already ordered may not be refundable.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate a project if payment obligations are not met, if site access is repeatedly denied, or if conditions at the site present an unreasonable safety risk to our crew.
Payment terms are set out in your signed project contract. Typical arrangements include a deposit at signing, a progress payment at a defined stage of the project, and a final payment upon completion. The specific amounts and timing are project-specific and will be clearly stated in your contract.
Payment is due on the dates specified in the contract. Overdue payments may be subject to a late fee as stated in the contract. We reserve the right to suspend work on a project if a payment obligation is not met within a reasonable time after the due date.
Under California law, you have specific rights regarding mechanic's liens. By entering into a contract with us, you acknowledge that we have the right to place a lien on your property for unpaid labor or materials in accordance with California law.
Where a building permit is required for your project, we will apply for and obtain the permit from the appropriate city or county building department as part of our service. Permit fees are either included in the contract price or itemized separately - your contract will specify which applies.
If your property is subject to homeowners association (HOA) rules, it is your responsibility to obtain any required HOA approvals before work begins. We are glad to assist by providing drawings or documentation that your HOA requires, but the obligation to obtain HOA approval rests with you as the property owner.
All work will be performed to applicable California building codes and local ordinances. We will not perform work that we believe would violate applicable codes, even if requested to do so.
Visalia Deck & Fence warrants that all labor performed will be free from defects in workmanship for a period of one year from the date of project completion, unless a longer warranty period is specified in your project contract.
Materials used in your project are covered by the manufacturers' warranties, where applicable. We will make a reasonable effort to transfer those warranties to you at project completion. Manufacturer warranty claims are subject to the manufacturers' terms and conditions, not ours.
Our workmanship warranty does not cover damage caused by normal wear and tear, improper maintenance, weather events, acts of nature, modifications made by anyone other than Visalia Deck & Fence, or conditions that existed before our work began.
Except as stated above, all services are provided "as is" without additional warranties, express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
To the fullest extent permitted by California law, Visalia Deck & Fence shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of or related to our services or this website, including lost profits, loss of use, or damage to property not caused by our direct negligence.
Our total liability for any claim arising from a project is limited to the amount you paid us for that project. This limitation does not apply to claims involving personal injury caused by our negligence.
If a dispute arises from our services or these terms, we ask that you contact us first so we can try to resolve it directly. Most issues can be resolved through a direct conversation, and we are committed to working through problems in good faith.
If direct resolution is not possible, the parties agree to attempt mediation before pursuing any other legal remedy. Mediation will take place in Tulare County, California. Mediation costs will be shared equally unless otherwise agreed.
If mediation does not resolve the dispute, either party may pursue available legal remedies. Nothing in these terms limits your rights under California consumer protection law.
These Terms and Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any legal action arising from these terms or our services shall be filed in a court of competent jurisdiction in Tulare County, California.

Your continued use of the Site after any update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. If a change materially affects an existing project contract, we will notify you directly. The terms in effect at the time you signed your project contract govern that project.
