FAQs
What types of deck materials do you recommend for San Marcos homes?
We offer a variety of decking materials, including redwood, cedar, pressure-treated lumber, and composites. For San Marcos, where sun exposure can be intense, composites are a popular low-maintenance choice. Our team can help you weigh the look, cost, and upkeep of each option based on your specific project.
My fence stain is peeling and fading. How do I fix it and prevent it from happening again?
Fence staining deterioration is common in San Marcos due to strong sun and dry conditions. We recommend stripping the old stain, cleaning the wood, and applying a high-quality, UV-resistant stain or sealer. For longer-lasting results, consider using a semi-transparent stain that penetrates the wood rather than a film-forming product. We can advise on the best products for your fence type and local exposure.
Can you help with both automatic and manual gate installation?
Yes, we supply materials for both automatic and manual gate installations. Whether you need a sliding gate for a driveway or a walk-through gate, we have the hardware, posts, and lumber. Our staff can help you select the right components for a safe, durable gate that fits your property.
Our Story
Since 1957, J&W Lumber has served San Marcos and Southern California homeowners and contractors with deck, fence, and patio cover materials and expertise. What began with founder Charley Jennings buying a $20 truckload of used lumber near an Interstate 8 construction site grew into a trusted regional resource. Today, J&W Lumber operates six retail yards and a wholesale facility, offering a wide selection of redwood, composite, and other outdoor building products. The company is known for its practical knowledge—like introducing sapwood lumber in the 1960s as a cost-effective alternative to heartwood for fencing and decks. Whether you’re planning a new deck, repairing a fence, or adding a patio cover, J&W Lumber provides materials and guidance backed by decades of experience. Their team understands local conditions and helps customers choose products that perform well in San Diego County’s climate, from weather-resistant composites to durable lumber options.
