- Good time management skills - you’ll want to get a rough estimate of how long a project will take. The good thing is that the work is done outdoors, so it doesn’t necessarily disrupt your daily routine to the extent that an indoor renovation would do. You might not want the job done hastily (a brand new fence installation should take more than a couple of hours, for example, otherwise you might question how careful the job was actually done). By the same token, you might not want the job to be dragged on for weeks and weeks because you’ll wonder what’s causing the delay - is it from the contractor’s lack of experience or are they not putting your project as a priority and bouncing around different homes without committing to finishing your fence? Now, it is not uncommon for home improvement projects to get delayed due to unforeseen circumstances, but this should be communicated to you along the way.
- Experience - you’ll want to find a contractor who has experience in fence and deck building. If they’re brand new, you’ll likely want to reserve them for simple jobs like a fence repair until your confidence with them is built, or until they have a more experienced contractor working alongside them. Lack of experience, if that is the route you choose, should be reflected in the pricing as well. Fortunately, our fence contractors have BOTH many years of experience and offer affordable prices.
- Good references - a good fencing installer should be confident in their work and be able to provide at least one or two good references, particularly in the specific job you want done. If you’re looking to install wrought iron fencing in your home, for example, ask your builder for a reference who has installed this type of fencing as well.
- Use of high quality materials - the longevity of an installed deck or fence depends on the quality of installation as well as the materials. Ask your fence contractor what materials are available for use, and if they would use it in their own homes. That last point is a good gauge of whether or not the contractor is just looking for a quick job to fulfill or if they are looking out for your and your home’s best interest.
Let’s explore some of the services we provide. Fencing installations are our bread and butter and include all types:
Chain link fences: these are popular commercial and industrial settings due to their durability and affordability. However, they also have a place in homes too, and recent versions of chain link fencing have decorative and colour options that can make them look more attractive.
Vinyl fences: popular in homes due to their durability and resistance to rot. Available in a wide variety of colours, so a homeowner can colour-coordinate with their backyard accessories.
Wood fences: a classic durable option that comes in a variety of styles to suit your tastes. If privacy in your backyard is a concern, wood fencing offers a great barrier from prying eyes from nosy neighbours.
Metal fences: also hailed for their durability and strength, they usually come in steel or aluminum options.
Ornamental fences: this adds a decorative layer to the functionality of fences and gates, whether you’re looking for ornamental wood, steel or wrought iron fencing. Finials come in different designs to suit your taste.
