Fence Contractor Services

Fence Contractor Services Across Toronto & the GTA

Fence contractor services for Toronto and the GTA, covering privacy fences, rebuilds, repairs, gates, line-setting, and permit-aware planning. We work across the full range of GTA property types — from the tight urban lots in the Beaches where shared-line disputes are common, to the larger residential perimeters in North York where gate planning and grade changes add complexity.

If you are comparing fence contractors, start here for clear scope, practical planning, and the right next step for your property. Our process on every fence job starts with confirming the property line from a current survey before posts are located, coordinating the utility locate, and planning gate placement — including swing clearance, latch height, and grade tolerance — before the run begins. We sort the details that cause post-install disputes before install day, not after.

Toronto

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.

Vaughan

Vaughan fence jobs are rarely simple runs. Full-perimeter fencing, double drive gates, and corner lot setbacks are the three things that complicate most Vaughan fence projects before a single post goes in. We sort those issues at the planning stage so the finished run looks intentional and the gate hardware stays true for more than one season.

Richmond Hill

Richmond Hill fence jobs usually mean bigger homes, raised grade, and gates that have to work properly around pools, patios, and tight side yards.

North York

North York fence work is complicated by what decades of lot history leave behind — mature trees pressing against fence lines, shared posts set by neighbors on old lots, and root systems that make getting to the required 1.2 m frost depth harder than it looks from the street. Setting a clean, straight run through an established North York yard takes more planning than most owners expect.

Oshawa

Oshawa's wider lots mean longer fence runs and bigger gate layouts than most of the GTA — a full perimeter on an Eastdale or McLaughlin property can easily top 200 linear feet. Property line accuracy matters just as much here as anywhere in Durham Region, and getting it wrong before the posts go in creates problems that do not go away cheaply.

Scarborough

Scarborough fence work almost always runs into grade drops, stepped panel requirements, or chain link tear-outs on the wider lots in Agincourt and Rouge. Posts on exposed rear yards need to be set deep — we go to 1.2 m minimum per Ontario Building Code — because wind off open fields and ravine backs puts real lateral load on fence lines that a sheltered urban yard never sees. A straight line on paper turns into stepped sections and careful post placement on site.

Whitby

Whitby fence work typically means full-perimeter planning on family lots in Pringle Creek and Blue Grass Meadows — gate placement for attached garages, rear yard access, and side runs that need to stay clean across grade changes. Port Whitby properties add a different layer: lakeside exposure, premium finish expectations, and survey-verified property lines before any post goes in.

Board-on-Board Privacy Fence with 6x6 Posts

This project involved the complete demolition and reconstruction of a full-privacy board-on-board fence for a residential property in Scarborough. The existing aging fence system was fully dismantled and removed from the site before the new installation began. Old posts and deteriorated materials were cleared to allow for proper structural rebuilding. The new fence was constructed using: • 6x6 pressure-treated structural posts • Reinforced 2x6 horizontal framing • 6 ft vertical fence boards • Full board-on-board privacy design • Black metal post caps The board-on-board configuration was selected to eliminate direct sightlines and provide maximum backyard privacy while maintaining structural airflow and durability. Each section was reinforced using heavy-duty 2x6 framing members, creating a fortress-grade fence structure built for long-term performance and stability. The vertical board layout delivers a clean and timeless appearance, while the black metal post caps introduce a refined architectural finish and additional weather protection for the exposed post tops. This Scarborough fence project combines structural strength, privacy, and premium exterior detailing into a durable modern boundary solution.

Horizontal Composite Fence with Stepped Design & Solar Lighting

This project involved the installation of a modern horizontal composite fence constructed with metal structural posts between two residential properties. Due to noticeable ground elevation differences along the property line, the fence was designed using a stepped configuration. Each section was gradually lowered to follow the natural grade change, creating a clean and intentional architectural rhythm rather than forcing a continuous straight line. The horizontal composite boards provide a contemporary aesthetic while offering durability, low maintenance, and resistance to moisture and weather exposure. Metal posts were selected to enhance structural strength and long-term stability, complementing the sleek horizontal design. Integrated solar post lights were installed to add subtle evening illumination, improving both safety and visual appeal. The result is a refined and modern boundary solution that combines structural integrity, thoughtful grade adaptation, and premium outdoor detailing.

Downtown Deck-to-Garage Privacy Fence with Sliding Gate & Metal Insert

This downtown Toronto project involved the construction of a fully enclosed privacy fence section designed to connect the rear deck directly to the garage while maintaining security and architectural consistency. From the home’s rear entrance, the homeowner steps onto the deck and can move seamlessly through a custom sliding gate into the garage area. The sliding configuration was selected to maximize functionality within a tight urban lot, eliminating swing-clearance issues and improving access flow. The newly built fence section fully encloses the garage connection area, providing complete privacy and secure boundary definition. The sliding gate is enhanced with a premium metal insert detail, adding a refined architectural accent that elevates the overall appearance. Additionally, the existing fence section along the left side of the deck was fully removed due to age and deterioration. The area was cleaned, rebuilt, and upgraded with new materials. Posts were painted black for a bold modern finish, while the fence boards were professionally stained to achieve a rich, cohesive look. The final result is a luxury-grade downtown backyard upgrade combining deck functionality, secure garage access, full privacy, and modern detailing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a fence cost in Toronto?

Fence costs in Toronto typically range from $5,000 to $25,000+ depending on material, length, and gate requirements. A basic pressure-treated wood privacy fence runs $60–$100 per linear foot installed. Cedar fences are $80–$130 per linear foot. Composite and vinyl fences run higher. We provide free written quotes after reviewing the property line and site conditions.

Do I need a permit to build a fence in Toronto?

In Toronto, fences over 2 metres (6.5 feet) require a permit through the Toronto Building Division. Front yard fences over 1 metre also require permits in many zones. Mississauga and Brampton follow the same 2.0 m threshold but through their own building divisions. We review permit requirements as part of our planning process and handle applications when required.

What is the best fence material for Toronto?

Toronto and GTA winters with freeze-thaw cycles mean post depth at 1.2 m minimum is non-negotiable. Cedar holds up better than most pressure-treated on shaded lots — it resists moisture naturally and ages well in mixed GTA conditions. Pressure-treated wood is cost-effective and handles sun-exposed perimeters well. Composite fencing is growing in popularity for its low maintenance and resistance to the spring frost-heave conditions common across GTA clay soils. We recommend material based on your privacy needs, budget, lot exposure, and how much maintenance you want to do.

Can you set a fence on the property line?

Yes — accurate property-line fencing requires a current survey. We work with existing surveys or coordinate with surveyors when the line is disputed or unclear. Setting posts without confirmed line locations is the most common cause of fence disputes. We sort this out before any post goes in.

Do you install fence gates?

Yes. We build and install wood, composite, and metal gates as part of every fence project. Single walk gates, double drive gates, and automatic gate operators are all within our scope. We plan gate placement for function — factoring grade, swing clearance, and latch height — before the fence run starts.
