These Terms and Conditions govern your use of the website at beniciadeckandfence.com and your engagement with Benicia Deck & Fence ("we," "us," or "our") for contractor services. By accessing our website or requesting our services, you agree to these terms. Please read them carefully.
By using our website or contacting us to request services, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old, that you have the legal authority to enter into agreements on behalf of yourself or the property owner, and that you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use our website or engage our services.
Benicia Deck & Fence provides residential and light commercial deck building, fence installation, pergola construction, and related outdoor structure services in Benicia, CA and surrounding areas. The specific scope of services for any project is defined in a separate written contract or proposal signed by both parties.
Nothing on this website constitutes a binding offer or guarantee of availability. Services are subject to our scheduling capacity, the feasibility of the requested work, and mutual agreement on project terms.
Estimates provided verbally or through our website contact form are preliminary only. A formal written estimate or proposal is prepared after an on-site consultation and review of the project scope. Written estimates are valid for 30 days from the date issued unless otherwise stated.
Estimates are based on conditions visible and accessible at the time of the on-site review. If unforeseen conditions are discovered during construction - such as rotted framing, damaged structural elements, or utilities in conflict with the planned work - we will notify you promptly and provide a written description of the additional scope and cost before proceeding. No additional work will be performed without your written authorization.
Final pricing is established in the signed project contract. All prices are in U.S. dollars. Applicable taxes and permit fees are itemized separately.
Project start dates are scheduled after a signed contract and required deposit are received. Start dates are estimates and may be adjusted due to weather, permit timing, material lead times, or other factors outside our control. We will communicate any changes to your scheduled start date as promptly as possible.
If you need to cancel or postpone a scheduled project, please notify us in writing as soon as possible. Cancellation policies, including any deposit retention terms, are specified in your signed project contract. Any deposits retained due to cancellation are intended to cover costs incurred prior to cancellation, including materials ordered, permits filed, or design time invested.
We reserve the right to decline or cancel projects at our discretion prior to construction beginning, in which case any deposits paid will be refunded in full.
Payment schedules are specified in your signed project contract and typically include a deposit at signing, a progress payment at a defined project milestone, and a final payment upon completion and your acceptance of the finished work. Final payment is due upon substantial completion of the project.
Accepted payment methods are specified in your project contract. Late payments may be subject to interest charges as specified therein. If payment is not received according to the agreed schedule, we reserve the right to suspend work until the account is brought current.
In the event of a dispute over payment, both parties agree to attempt good-faith resolution before pursuing legal remedies.
Where permits are required by applicable law and are included in the agreed scope of work, we will obtain them on your behalf. Permit fees are the responsibility of the property owner and are itemized in the project contract.
All work is performed in accordance with applicable building codes and regulations. You are responsible for disclosing any HOA rules, deed restrictions, or other requirements that may affect the project. We are not liable for project modifications required due to restrictions you did not disclose prior to the start of construction.
We warranty our workmanship for a period specified in your project contract. This warranty covers defects in the installation resulting from our work and does not cover damage caused by normal wear and tear, weather exposure, lack of proper maintenance, modifications made by others, or conditions outside our control.
Materials and products installed are covered by the manufacturer warranties applicable to those products, if any. We will assist you in understanding and submitting manufacturer warranty claims where applicable, but we do not assume responsibility for manufacturer warranty coverage or outcomes.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN YOUR SIGNED PROJECT CONTRACT, ALL SERVICES AND MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Benicia Deck & Fence shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of our website or from the performance of services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Our total liability for any claim arising from services rendered shall not exceed the total amount paid by you for the specific project giving rise to the claim. This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory under which the claim is brought.

If a dispute arises between you and Benicia Deck & Fence in connection with services provided, both parties agree to attempt to resolve the matter through good-faith negotiation before pursuing formal legal proceedings.
If negotiation is unsuccessful, disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of a mutually agreed-upon arbitration organization, except where either party is seeking injunctive or other equitable relief. The arbitration shall take place in Benicia, CA. The parties waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action.
