Instant fence & deck estimate
01 / 09A 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.
If your fence is leaning, a post has gone, or a winter has taken the boards, the first question is not what does a repair cost. It is whether a repair is worth doing at all. We answer that one for free, on site, with the evidence in front of you.
To be straight with you about what we do: we build fences, we do not take on patch repairs. What we will do is assess yours honestly — and if the posts are still sound, we will tell you so and tell you not to spend money with us yet.
Boards and rails are bolt-on consumables. Posts are the structure. That is why a fence can look finished from the street and still have years in it, and why another one can look fine and be done.
At grade, not at the top. Wood fails at the soil line, where the post is alternately wet and dry and oxygen is still available. We probe with an awl and push the post laterally. Soft wood that takes the awl easily, or movement at the base while the concrete collar stays still, means the post is finished even when the top two feet still look new.
If more than about a third of the posts are soft at grade, replacement is the cheaper fence over five years — you would otherwise be back for the remaining two thirds one at a time. Below that, your fence still has life in it, and we will say so.
If the fence is pressure-treated and at the end of its life anyway, we will tell you that rather than sell you anything.
Wind damage in the GTA concentrates at the two ends of a run and at any gate opening, which matters for a claim: it often means a partial replacement rather than a full one. We provide clear photographs of the failure and a written scope you can hand to an insurer without translating it.
You get a line-item price for the new run before anything comes out of the ground — removal and disposal of the old fence priced separately from the new build, never buried in a per-foot rate. Post work means digging, so the Ontario One Call locate applies, with a five business day minimum on a single property. Concrete work runs April to November.
Price the replacement yourself in about a minute with the estimator, and you will have a real range before anyone comes out.

| Storm damage | Photographs of the failure and a written scope an insurer can read without translation |
| What we build | The replacement run, with removal and disposal of the old fence as a separate line |

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.
