A few questions, a range in about a minute. The calculator uses the rates we quote with — a site visit pins the exact number.

GTA Fence & Deck builds residential fences and decks across the Greater Toronto Area and Hamilton. The company is built around one complaint we keep hearing from homeowners: nobody will tell them what the job costs. The usual sequence is a web form, three days of silence, a site visit, and then a number that may or may not be survivable. By that point the homeowner has spent a week to learn something a contractor could have told them in two minutes.
So we run it the other way around. You pick the material, give us the run length or the deck footprint, and the online estimator returns a price range immediately. A crew lead then confirms that range at the property and puts it in writing before anyone digs. If the site turns out to be different from what you described, a sloped yard, a buried service, a rotten sill under the old deck, you get a written change order first. We would rather lose the job at the quote stage than argue about an invoice in October.
The second thing we decided early was to sell only what our crews genuinely build. Plenty of fence companies list twenty materials and subcontract the awkward ones to whoever answers the phone that week. Our list is shorter on purpose, and every material on it is one we have installed enough times to price without hedging. If you ask for something outside it, we will say so rather than quote it and learn on your yard.
On the fence side we install privacy board, cedar, composite, vinyl, aluminum and chain link, plus gates framed to match the fence rather than hung off it as an afterthought. When the posts are still sound we quote fence repair instead of a replacement, because replacing a fence that only needs six boards and a gate hinge is a waste of your money and our crew days.
On the deck side we do new builds from the footings up in pressure-treated, cedar, composite and PVC, along with railings, stairs and deck repair where the framing is still good. The full range is on the services page.
Fence and deck work in Ontario is governed by more rules than most homeowners expect, and the rules change at the municipal boundary. A 2.0 m rear yard and 1.0 m front yard fence is the common GTA baseline, but Toronto measures fence height from the deck surface under Chapter 447, Vaughan has a spite fence clause, Whitby needs a permit once a deck sits above 600 mm, and Hamilton apportions the cost of a division fence between neighbours under the Line Fences Act. We quote against the by-law that applies to your address, not a generic number.
The structural side is the Ontario Building Code. Footings go below the 1.2 m frost line. Guards are required once a walking surface is more than 600 mm above grade, at 900 mm or 1,070 mm depending on the height, with openings that will not pass a 100 mm sphere. Stair risers and runs are cut to code rather than to whatever the old deck had. We file an Ontario One Call locate before digging and we wait out the five business day minimum, which is why we will not promise a Saturday start on a Thursday phone call.
We build in 18 GTA and Hamilton cities with their own pages:
The full map, including the surrounding communities we cover on request, is on the service areas page.
We are a small operation working with vetted local installation crews, which is also why we only sell what those crews actually build. We claim no trade certification for fence installation, because Ontario does not issue one, and we would rather say that plainly than invent a badge. What we will put in writing is the by-law reference behind your height, the code clause behind your guard, and the price range before anyone visits.
Questions first is fine. Read the FAQ, or price your project first — it takes about a minute and the number is yours to keep.
