Why fences lean · Step 1 of 5

The part that holds a fence up is the part you never see.

01The frost line

In the GTA the ground freezes to about 1.2 m. Frozen soil swells and lifts whatever sits in it. That is why fences lean after three winters.

02Post holes

Every hole goes below the frost line, so the bottom of the post sits in ground that never freezes.

03Posts and footings

4x4 posts standard, 6x6 as an upgrade, each set in a concrete footing.

04Rails

Horizontal rails tie the posts together and carry the boards.

05Board-on-board

Boards on both faces, overlapping, so no gaps open up as the wood dries.

What we build

15 services · fences first
01Privacy FenceSix or eight foot board-on-board or tongue-and-groove privacy fencing, built to the 2.0 m rear-yard limit that applies at your address.02Cedar FenceWestern red or eastern white cedar fencing that resists rot through its own heartwood oils, with 4x4 posts standard and a 6x6 upgrade.03Composite FenceColour-through composite boards on an aluminum or steel frame, so the top line stays straight and nothing ever needs staining.04Vinyl FencePrivacy, semi-privacy and picket vinyl panels in white and almond that lock into routed posts and rinse clean with a garden hose.05Aluminum FencePowder-coated aluminum picket fencing that racks to follow sloped grade and takes self-closing pool-enclosure gate hardware.06Chain Link FenceGalvanised or black vinyl-coated mesh in 4, 5 and 6 foot heights, with walk and double drive gates and effectively zero maintenance.07Fence GatesWalk and double drive gates with a diagonal brace from the bottom hinge to the top latch corner, so the frame cannot rack into a sag.08Fence Repair or ReplaceA straight answer on whether your fence is worth keeping, with the posts probed at grade — and a line-item price for the replacement when it is not.09Deck BuildingDecks framed from footings below the 1.2 m frost line, in pressure-treated, cedar, composite or PVC, with permit drawings handled.10Composite DeckingCapped composite deck boards from entry to premium tier, laid on hidden fasteners with an optional mitred picture-frame border.11PVC DeckingPVC deck boards with no wood content at all, the coolest surface in their class underfoot and the answer for shaded damp decks.12Cedar DeckingWestern red or eastern white cedar decking, cooler underfoot than composite, fastened with stainless or coated screws and sealed at the cuts.13Deck RailingsWood, aluminum or glass guards built to OBC 9.8.8 heights, priced per linear foot as their own line and retrofittable to an existing deck.14Deck StairsStringers cut to your measured deck height so every riser is equal, with a graspable handrail on every flight and a proper landing pad.15Deck Repair or RebuildAn inspection that starts at the ledger and the footings, with a straight answer on repair versus rebuild before any money is spent.

In plain terms

Know what your fence installation or deck costs before anyone visits

Most fence installation and deck quotes in the GTA start the same frustrating way: you fill in a form, you wait, someone books a visit, and a week later you finally learn whether the job was ever in your budget. We think that order is backwards.

GTA Fence & Deck puts the price first. Tell us the material, the run and the rough size and you get an instant price range online — before a single appointment. Then a licensed local crew confirms that range on site and puts it in writing. If the site changes the number, you get a written change order, not a surprise on the invoice.

What we build

Fencing in privacy board, cedar, composite, vinyl, aluminum and chain link, plus gates built to match the fence rather than bolted on afterwards — and fence repair when the posts are still sound and a full replacement would be a waste of your money.

Decks from the footings up: pressure-treated, cedar, composite and PVC surfaces, single or multi-level, with code-height railings, stairs cut to even risers, and repair work on decks whose structure is still good.

How we work

Every fence is built to the fence by-law that applies to your address, not a generic height. Deck footings go below the 1.2 m frost line, and guards and stairs are built to Ontario Building Code — because the guard is the one part of a deck that exists to stop someone falling. We arrange permit drawings where the deck height requires them, call in utility locates before digging, and clean up the site when we leave.

Where we work

We serve 18 cities across the Greater Toronto Area and Hamilton, from Toronto and Mississauga out through Vaughan, Markham, Brampton and Oakville.

Start with the price. Price your fence installation or deck with the online estimator. It takes about a minute, and you get the range and our direct line at the end — before anyone gets in a truck.

Who we build for

10 kinds of owner
01Homeowners — Residential Fence InstallationThe core segment: GTA homeowners replacing a failed or storm-damaged fence, or fencing a yard for the first time. Cedar, pressure-treated, vinyl, composite, aluminum and chain-link, built to the local fence bylaw with the neighbour-share conversation handled up front.02Homeowners — Backyard Deck BuildersGround-level and raised backyard decks for GTA homes, in pressure-treated wood, cedar, composite or PVC, including railings, stairs and privacy screening. Permit drawings and guard-height compliance handled as part of the build.03New-Build and Custom Home OwnersOwners of newly built or custom homes finishing the yard after closing. Builder-grade or absent fencing replaced with a proper cedar or composite line, coordinated around fresh grading, sod and utility locates.04Townhouse and Condo OwnersSmall-footprint decks, privacy screens and dividing fences for freehold townhouses and condo-townhome yards, sized for tight rear lots and built to satisfy condo-corporation appearance rules.05Property Management CompaniesScheduled and emergency fence and deck repair for firms managing residential portfolios: board and post replacement, gate re-hangs, guard-rail safety fixes, with per-unit invoicing and tenant-coordinated access.06Rental and Investment Property OwnersLandlords of single-family and duplex rentals who need a deck or fence brought back to a safe, code-compliant state between tenants, with durable low-maintenance specifications chosen to reduce repeat call-outs.07Real Estate Agents and Home StagersFast, listing-deadline work for agents and stagers: refreshing a tired deck, straightening a sagging fence line and replacing broken boards so the backyard photographs well and survives the home inspection.08Landscaping and Renovation ContractorsTrade-partner work for landscapers, hardscapers and general renovators who do not carry a carpentry crew. The fence and deck scope of their project delivered on their schedule and under their client relationship.09Older and Heritage Home OwnersReplacement fencing and porch-adjacent decks for older central-GTA homes: matched board profiles, period-appropriate pickets, and posts set around mature roots, retaining walls and out-of-square historic property lines.10Dog and Pet OwnersSecure, gap-free fencing for households with dogs: solid privacy boards or tight-picket lines, dig-resistant bottom detailing, self-closing gate latches, and heights chosen for the breed rather than the bylaw minimum.

Questions we get asked

1 answers
01

Do you supply composite decking materials, or install them?

We are an installation contractor, not a manufacturer or a materials retailer. We build decks and fences on your property across the Greater Toronto Area: layout, footings below the frost line, framing, boards, railings, stairs and gates, finished and inspected. Composite boards are a surface option we install, alongside pressure-treated lumber and western red cedar, and the boards themselves are made by manufacturers we do not represent and whose brands we do not resell. If you already have material on site we can build with it; if you do not, we specify and source what suits the deck and include it in the written fixed price. What you are buying from us is the build and the crew that stands behind it, not a product off a shelf.
