Toronto Fence Contractor
Toronto fence jobs slow down for three reasons more than anything else: old concrete footings buried where the new posts need to go, property lines that haven't been verified since the original survey decades ago, and side yards so narrow that a wheelbarrow doesn't fit. We sort all three before posts go in, because fixing a fence that is 4 inches onto a neighbor's property or sitting on a buried footing costs more than doing it right the first time.
The dominant site condition on Toronto city lots is tight access combined with uneven or heavily graded yards. Most material arrives by hand from the street or lane, staging space is minimal, and utility locates through Ontario One Call (1-800-400-2255) are mandatory before any post goes in the ground.

Trust & Process
Line checks, written scopes, and gate planning before install day
We sort the line, grade, and gate layout early, then price the right scope. Licensed and insured, WSIB compliant, and direct about what belongs in the build.
What We Handle
Privacy fences, rebuilds, repairs, gates, and stepped layouts
Homeowners in Toronto usually need more than a straight line of panels. We handle shared lines, rebuilds, repair decisions, grade changes, gates, and full-perimeter layouts.
What We Build In Toronto
We build privacy fences, shared-line replacements, stepped panels, side gates, front accent sections, and full perimeter layouts for Toronto properties. The right build usually depends on tight city lots and permit review.
Toronto fence jobs around Leslieville and High Park usually come down to line accuracy, clean gate layout, and how the grade moves across the yard. We sort those things first so the finished run looks intentional instead of patched together.
What Slows Fence Jobs Down Here
Old concrete footings from previous fences are common on Toronto lots, particularly in older neighborhoods like East York, Swansea, and Weston. Breaking out and removing buried concrete by hand in a narrow side yard adds a full day or more to the start of the job.
Utility locates through Ontario One Call are required before any post excavation. Response typically takes 3–5 business days — that window needs to be built into the schedule before the crew mobilizes.
Materials That Make Sense In Toronto
Pressure-treated fence runs $60–$100/linear ft installed and is the right call on most Toronto lots where the run is long, the grade changes across the yard, and the priority is durability at a reasonable cost. It handles freeze-thaw cycles well and performs reliably on the mixed lot conditions common in neighborhoods like Scarborough, North York, and East York.
Cedar fence runs $80–$130/linear ft installed and makes sense when appearance matters more — front-facing sections, shared lines visible from the street, or yards in neighborhoods like Leaside, Rosedale, or the Beaches where a more finished look fits the property. Cedar needs periodic staining to hold up, but it takes paint and stain better than pressure-treated and is lighter to work with on hand-carry jobs in narrow yards.
We also plan around the kind of lots we see in Leslieville, High Park, East York. The line and the grade matter more than the brochure.
Property Lines, Gates, And Code Reality In Toronto
Toronto Building Division (permits.toronto.ca) enforces fence height limits across the city. In most residential zones, rear and side yard fences up to 2.0 m (approximately 6.5 ft) do not require a permit. Front yard fences are limited to 1.0 m (approximately 3.3 ft) without a permit. If the fence exceeds those thresholds or sits on a corner lot where sight-line rules apply, a permit application is required before installation.
Corner lots in Toronto get additional scrutiny because fence placement affects traffic sight lines at the intersection. We check the zoning and setback requirements for the specific address before any layout is finalized — getting it wrong on a corner lot means the City can order removal.

Burak has been very helpful and considerate when it came to fixing my Fence. I called him and he came by the next day and fixed it. He was knowledgeable, professional and very humble. He even came back the following week and helped me remove my Awning from my deck. I definitely recommend Burak and his team in the future

Fence FAQs For Toronto
These are the questions homeowners usually need answered before they commit to a fence plan in Toronto.
What usually complicates fence work in Toronto?
Toronto fence jobs usually get harder when the line, the grade, and the gate layout are assumed instead of measured. That is how clean runs turn into patchwork fixes.
When does a privacy fence make the most sense in Toronto?
Privacy fence layouts make the most sense when the lot needs screening, wind control, cleaner backyard separation, or a better transition from the house into the yard without leaving the run looking heavy.
How early do fence by-laws, height limits, and line checks need to be handled in Toronto?
Before posts go in. Corner visibility, shared lines, rear swales, pool access, and gate swing are all easier to solve on paper than after concrete is in the ground.
Can a fence in Toronto be repaired instead of replaced?
Yes, when the problem is isolated to a few posts, a gate, or damaged sections. If the line is failing, the grade is fighting the run, or the old layout never worked, replacement is usually the cleaner answer.
What usually moves fence pricing in Toronto?
Linear footage matters, but the bigger price movers are tear-out, post depth, gates, stepped grade, material choice, and whether the crew is dealing with a simple straight line or a real-world yard.
