Instant fence & deck estimate
01 / 09Trade-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.
Plenty of excellent landscaping, hardscaping and renovation firms in the GTA have no carpenter on staff. Interlock, grading, planting and retaining walls are a different trade from framing a deck and hanging a gate. Rather than turning down the fence and deck portion of a contract, or hiring for a skill you need eight weeks a year, you subcontract it.
We work as a trade partner, which means a few specific things. We arrive on your schedule, sequenced into your build, with the fence panels going up last so equipment access stays open and deck framing after your footings cure. We stay under your client relationship: your client is your client, we do not quote around you, and we are happy to appear as your crew. Pricing is trade pricing on a scope document, not a homeowner quote with a homeowner margin.
We carry our own WSIB clearance and liability coverage and will send the certificates to your office before mobilising, because your GC or your client will ask for them and a missing certificate stops a site.
When the deck and railing package is ours, so is the compliance. Guards go in once the walking surface is more than 600 mm above grade, at 900 mm up to 1,800 mm and 1,070 mm above that, with openings that will not pass a 100 mm sphere and a handrail 865 to 965 mm above the stair nosing. Footings reach the 1.2 m frost line. Fence heights are checked against the municipality your site sits in rather than a regional rule of thumb, because Toronto works from Municipal Code Chapter 447, Mississauga from Fence By-law 0397-1978, Brampton from its Zoning By-law and Markham from Fence By-law 2017-30. If the deck needs a permit, we prepare the drawings and carry the submission so it does not land back on your project manager.
Two scheduling facts decide whether a subcontracted scope helps or hurts your programme. Ontario One Call locates are a legal requirement before digging, with a five business day minimum and ten where the work spans more than one property, so the locate goes in as soon as the scope is signed rather than the week we are due. And the season here is April to November, with screw piles keeping a winter deck possible when a client will not wait. In peak season we also take overflow capacity, meaning a fence installation crew for a week when your own is committed elsewhere, on the same scope document and the same insurance paperwork.
Typical fence installation jobs: a fence line installed as the final phase of a landscape build, a deck framed and decked over your new footings, a subcontracted railing and stair package, and overflow crew capacity in peak season.
Six 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.
Western red or eastern white cedar fencing that resists rot through its own heartwood oils, with 4x4 posts standard and a 6x6 upgrade.
Colour-through composite boards on an aluminum or steel frame, so the top line stays straight and nothing ever needs staining.
Privacy, semi-privacy and picket vinyl panels in white and almond that lock into routed posts and rinse clean with a garden hose.
Powder-coated aluminum picket fencing that racks to follow sloped grade and takes self-closing pool-enclosure gate hardware.
Galvanised or black vinyl-coated mesh in 4, 5 and 6 foot heights, with walk and double drive gates and effectively zero maintenance.
Walk 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.
A 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.
Decks framed from footings below the 1.2 m frost line, in pressure-treated, cedar, composite or PVC, with permit drawings handled.
Capped composite deck boards from entry to premium tier, laid on hidden fasteners with an optional mitred picture-frame border.
PVC deck boards with no wood content at all, the coolest surface in their class underfoot and the answer for shaded damp decks.
Western red or eastern white cedar decking, cooler underfoot than composite, fastened with stainless or coated screws and sealed at the cuts.
Wood, 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.
Stringers cut to your measured deck height so every riser is equal, with a graspable handrail on every flight and a proper landing pad.
An inspection that starts at the ledger and the footings, with a straight answer on repair versus rebuild before any money is spent.
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.
