About the Local Business

J&W Lumber has been serving Escondido and San Diego County since 1957, when founder Charley Jennings started the business with a $20 truckload of used lumber from an Interstate 8 construction site. What began on Twain Street as a small redwood yard grew into a family-owned company with six retail locations and a wholesale operation, CJ Redwood. We specialize in deck construction and design, fence and gate installation, patio cover installation, and related repair and weatherproofing services. Over the decades, J&W has offered practical solutions for local homeowners, from introducing sapwood lumber as an affordable fencing alternative in the 1960s to now providing a wide selection of composites and hardware. Our team is trained to deliver high-quality, honest work, and we prioritize safety and customer service. Located near the Escondido Auto Park and just off the 15 Freeway, we're a trusted resource for homeowners in neighborhoods like Westside and around Lake Hodges. Whether you need a new deck, a repaired fence, or a weatherproof gate, J&W combines decades of experience with products that stand up to local conditions.

Common Questions

How can I protect my fence from wildfire damage in Escondido?

In Escondido, dry conditions and wildfire risk make fence material choice critical. We recommend using non-combustible or fire-resistant materials like metal, stone, or certain composites. For wood fences, we can apply fire-retardant treatments and ensure proper spacing from vegetation. Our team also suggests using metal posts and weatherproofing to reduce ignition risk. We'll assess your property's exposure and recommend fence designs that meet local safety standards.

What's the best material for a deck that lasts in Escondido's climate?

Escondido's hot, dry summers and occasional winter rains mean your deck needs material that resists warping, rot, and UV damage. We carry composite decking (like Trex and TimberTech) that holds up well here, plus pressure-treated and redwood options for those who prefer natural wood. Composite requires less maintenance and won't splinter, while redwood offers classic looks with proper sealing. We'll help you choose based on your budget, style, and how much upkeep you're comfortable with.

Do you install automatic gates for driveways in Escondido?

Yes, we install automatic gates for residential and commercial properties in Escondido. We handle both swing and sliding gate openers, with options for keypad entry, remote controls, and intercom systems. We also integrate safety features like sensors and manual override. Our team can match the gate style to your existing fence or property design, whether you're in a neighborhood near Kit Carson Park or a larger lot near the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.
