Instant fence & deck estimate
01 / 09Scheduled 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.
Managing a residential portfolio changes what you need from a contractor. The carpentry is ordinary; the coordination is not. A firm with forty managed homes does not want forty separate quotes, forty invoices addressed to the same entity, and a crew that shows up at a tenanted property without notice.
So we work the way the portfolio works. Per-unit invoicing against your property codes, so the cost lands on the right building without your bookkeeper re-splitting it. Tenant-coordinated access with proper notice, because Ontario's Residential Tenancies Act requires written notice ahead of non-emergency entry and a repair crew arriving unannounced becomes your problem, not ours. And a written scope with photographs per unit, which is what you need to justify the spend to an owner.
The work itself sorts into scheduled and urgent. Scheduled: annual deck and guard-rail safety rounds, gate hardware replacement at turnover, make-good repairs before a re-list. Urgent: a snapped fence post after a windstorm, or storm damage across several properties at once, which we triage by what is actually a liability, meaning a failed guard on a raised deck first and a cosmetic fence lean second.
A guard-rail round is only useful if it produces a defensible number, so we measure against what the Ontario Building Code actually requires. A guard is mandatory once the deck surface sits more than 600 mm above grade. The four numbers we record are these:
Each unit comes back as pass, or as a specific measurement with a photograph, which is the form an owner or an insurer accepts. Where a property standards notice has already been issued, we scope to the clause cited and sign off in writing.
We send WSIB clearance and liability certificates to your office before the first site, because a missing certificate stops a job and the request always comes at the worst moment. There is no installer licence in Ontario for this trade, so those documents plus completed work are the real credential, and we do not claim a certification that does not exist. Where a repair involves new posts or footings, a locate through Ontario One Call is a legal requirement with a five business day minimum, ten where the work spans more than one property, which is common across a portfolio. Scheduled rounds get booked inside the April to November season; urgent fence repair gets triaged the week it happens.
Typical jobs: storm-damage fence repair across several managed homes, an annual deck and railing inspection round, gate hardware and latch replacement on turnover, and make-good repairs before a unit re-lists.
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.
