Fencing is one of the most accessible industries for start-up businesses and novice laborers to get into. For these people looking to make a few extra dollars installing fences, a shovel, a level, and a string line may be all they need.
As a result, there are many individuals or companies who show up in Ottawa and Gatineau, install residential fences for a short time, and then disappear. We see it all the time. Beware! You only want to work with a fully licensed and insured fencing contractor in Ottawa and Gatineau.
Here are some of the main pitfalls of working with non-professionals:
The Residential Fence Warranty is Void
If the individual or company that installed your residential fence is no longer in business, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless. Additionally, some manufacturers won't warranty their fence material if it was improperly installed or damaged during installation. Both situations are common with non-professionals.
The Fence Almost Certainly Won't Last As Long
As a professional fence company, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision. Our dedication to improving our skills, knowledge of the best fencing materials, and best fence installation techniques maximizes the strength and life of your fence. Companies that install fences as something they do "on the side" usually have no idea how much they don't know about residential fencing or what is best for you and your property.
Your Property May be at Risk
Installing residential fences in the Ottawa and Gatineau area can be risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the fence installation can blow materials and damage your home. We've seen concrete splatter onto cars or drip down beautiful driveways or walkways as buckets of wet concrete are transported. Deep tire tracks sinking into your grass is another common issue. The secondary damage to homes and yards is common when untrained labor installs the fence.
Additionally, you are at risk if anyone gets hurt on your property while they are working. If you hire an unlicensed or uninsured contractor, you may be liable and your homeowner's insurance may deny payment!
At first glance, hiring a novice to install your fence may save you a few dollars, but in the long run, it is almost certainly a price you cannot afford to pay!

Fence placement is ultimately the responsibility of you, the customer. Moving a fence after installation can be costly, so getting a survey to be safe is never a bad idea.

Yes! We are a leading aluminium fencing contractor across the entire Ottawa and Gatineau area.
Our crews are specially trained in the latest aluminium fence installation techniques, ensuring that your fence will look great, function properly, and hold up to the harsh weather typical of Ottawa and Gatineau.
Our aluminium fences are powder-coated at the factory. A powder coating added to an aluminium fence prevents corrosion and makes regular maintenance a breeze by sealing the final color under a chemically bonded layer. It's accomplished by applying an electrostatically charged powder to the metal and baking it into a smooth coating.
If you are considering an aluminium fence for your Ottawa and Gatineau property, you definitely want to protect the beauty and durability of your fence with a powder coating. To minimize your stress, we ONLY sell and install powder-coated aluminium fences for residential and commercial applications.
Yes, they do!
Our aluminium fences have impressive warranties directly from the manufacturer. Depending on the specific brand and style of aluminium fence you choose, many of them come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, ensuring that all aluminium fencing materials and powder-coated finishes will be free from manufacturing defects for the entire duration of the warranty period. Of course, we will guide you through these essential details to make sure you get the best warranty available.
We also offer our comprehensive workmanship warranty for every fence we install. We take pride in our work and our craftsmanship. We earn our outstanding reputation in Ottawa and Gatineau one happy customer at a time!
Whether you need a residential aluminium fence or a commercial-grade aluminium fence, it generally only takes a few days maximum for one of our fence experts to get to most areas of Ottawa and Gatineau, walk your property, and give you a detailed estimate of your aluminium fence project.
You can certainly call us to get even faster answers from our fence experts!
Once you approve the estimate, we can often install aluminium fences in most of Ottawa and Gatineau within 1 to 3 weeks, but please check with our office about your specific project. At times throughout the year, that timeframe may be less, or it may be longer.
Other things can delay the start of a fencing project. If you choose custom aluminium fence material, style, color, or add-ons that must be specially ordered, your fence installation will often be delayed. Like nearly every fencing contractor in the Ottawa and Gatineau, we do not stock a large amount of custom aluminium fencing options. These materials come from various manufacturers, and shipping and delivery times are beyond our control. We will help you identify, in advance, any of your choices that are likely to cause these additional delays, and we will offer alternatives whenever possible.

Many small fence companies in Ottawa and Gatineau install aluminium fencing. Very few specifically train their teams on the best installation techniques and practices for aluminium fencing. Unfortunately, this means that your aluminium fence is probably not installed as securely as it could be, which ultimately can reduce the quality and lifespan of your aluminium fence.
Using inferior installation techniques and improper tools can also damage the aluminium fence during installation, which may have the unfortunate impact of voiding the manufacturer's warranty since you chose an unqualified contractor not approved by the manufacturer.

Yes! We are a leading chain link fencing contractor across the entire Ottawa and Gatineau area.
Our crews are specially trained in the latest chain link fence installation techniques, ensuring that your fence will look great, function properly, and hold up to the harsh weather typical of Ottawa and Gatineau.
Chain link fences require very little maintenance. Our professional-quality chain link fencing has been factory-treated to prevent rust and corrosion; adding protective colored vinyl coating provides additional benefits.
We recommend clearing debris away from the bottom of the fence and a quick rinse with the garden hose every once in a while.
Every local municipality has a separate set of requirements when it comes to building permits, and that includes chain link fencing. Sometimes, the specific height of the fence, placement of the fence, or purpose of the fence can impact the need for a permit. There are also HOA considerations in some areas.

Many homes and businesses in the Ottawa and Gatineau area have the mixed material system installed on their property. They're a popular choice among our customers because they are long-lasting, fully customizable, and need little upkeep while providing protection, privacy, and an aesthetically pleasing addition to any property.
The framework of the mixed material fence is made of powder-coated aluminum. The powder coating gives the aluminum its characteristic black color and ensures that the aluminum is water-proof and rust-resistant, making it great for the Ottawa or Gatineau area.
It sure will! The mixed material fence framework is rackable, meaning that it can be adjusted to accommodate sloped grades of land.
Mixed material fence rail systems are designed to be used with both wood and vinyl infill options so you can create the exact look you want.
Definitely! Our mixed material fence system is popular due to the privacy it provides in certain installations. Depending on the infill you choose, you can have full privacy, partial privacy, or an open concept. Consider your privacy requirements and choose the right infill material from the options available on the market.
The mixed material fence framework itself needs almost no upkeep. If having a low-maintenance fence is a priority, choose an infill material that also needs only minor maintenance, like vinyl. With the right choice of infill, your new fence just has to be washed occasionally to look great for many years to come.
Ornamental iron fencing is a great option for properties of all shapes and sizes in the North Quebec area. It is a very strong material that creates a high level of security with an unmatched elegant design. If your priorities are design and strength, ornamental iron is a perfect solution for any home or business.
Ornamental iron fencing is one of the more costly types of fencing in the North Quebec area due to the weight and strength of the metal and the craftsmanship it takes to build. When you are in the market for a new fence, speak to our fence professionals who can help you get a quote for whichever types of fencing you're looking for and help you find the perfect fit for your goals and your budget.
As far as earth-friendly fences go, ornamental iron fences are a great choice. The metal is easy to maintain, long-lasting, and recyclable if you need to in the future. All of these factors contribute to it being a very eco-friendly type of fence to install at your North Quebec area property.
Ornamental iron fences are built to last a lifetime at your North Quebec area property! Throughout history, you can still find ironwork that has stood for centuries, and it's no surprise why with the solid, durable metal it is crafted from. Certain factors like climate, maintenance, and protective coating all impact the longevity of your ornamental iron fence, but regardless, you can be sure that your fence will stand strong for many, many years.
Ornamental iron fencing needs very little maintenance over its lifetime at your North Quebec property. Being proactive is the best way to make sure your fence will last without any issues. Keeping your ornamental iron free of dents will help prevent rust, so avoid using lawn trimmers too close to your fence or planting bushes too close to your fence, which can hide problems if they arise. Other than a rinse every now and then, your ornamental iron fence should need no cleaning or repairs, and you'll also receive a manufacturer's warranty that should cover major problems for your peace of mind.
The overall strength of ornamental iron fences in North Quebec varies based on the thickness of the fence posts and pickets as well as the post depth and fence height. Iron fences are more durable than most other forms of fencing because carbon is added to the iron, which helps an ornamental iron/iron fence survive the elements and other possible harm.
One of the best features of ornamental iron fences is that it is resistant to rust and corrosion. The engineering of the metal and the protective coating that it comes with helps to ensure a long-lasting product with very little maintenance needed and no peeling or chipping. You can have peace of mind with the manufacturer warranty that covers your fence, too.

Vinyl fencing requires nearly zero maintenance. Over time, vinyl fencing is a less expensive fencing material than many other fence types. The cost-saving benefits of not requiring paint or sealant make it an attractive alternative.

There are also very inexperienced and unprofessional fence installers who continually cut corners and don't stand behind their work, regardless of what their so-called warranty says.
Vinyl fences must stand up to the physical demands of the Ottawa and Gatineau weather, and physical abuse from falling branches, landscapers, neighbors, animals, and more.
Shopping for the cheapest fence is generally not the best way to choose the fence you want to protect and beautify your home and the people you care about.

DIY Fence Estimate
If you'd like to get a rough idea on your own about how much fencing you will need, follow these easy steps:
Caution!
Wood fencing is often priced and sold by SECTIONS, not by linear feet! Even when the linear footage is included specifically in price estimates, the total number of sections is a factor in this pricing. So, price per linear foot is only a rough estimate and rarely represents the actual cost of the finished fence!
If you would love to explore and explain this difference, you can speak with one of our fence experts. Be aware that price per linear foot is a ploy many unprofessional fence installers in the Ottawa and Gatineau area use!
Wood fencing is unique in its ability to be utilized for such a wide array of applications. Listed below are some of the most popular applications of wood fencing:
You will have to do regular maintenance on your deck, including staining and sealing with a quality deck stain, at least every 2 or 3 years. Without the regular application of stains, sealers, or paint, wood decking is susceptible to warping, splintering, cracking, and rotting.
That depends.
Decks that are built higher than 30 inches off the ground should have a railing. Otherwise, a railing is optional. However, there are other reasons you may want to include a railing in your build, such as:
Aesthetic reasons:
Functional reasons:
Practical reasons:
It is always best to simply call your town building code office. Local municipalities have different requirements for deck construction and building permits. Please reach out to our expert team, and we'll be happy to help you with the permitting process should you need one.
We have installed many residential decks across Ottawa and Gatineau so we are happy to answer your questions and can guide you through the process.

When you want a new deck with no excuses, hassles, or problems, contact Ottawa Gatineau Fencing. We're the go-to guys for comfortable backyard living spaces!
Pressure-treated wood decks in Ottawa and Gatineau last on average around 10-15 years depending on how well they are maintained. All decks are built with pressure-treated wood and will eventually need to be repaired or replaced, so it is important to take every step in protecting your deck with a high-quality stain.
Depending on the height of your deck, the protection of a guardrail is often a good idea.
Here are the typical requirements for guardrails and handrails for the Ottawa and Gatineau area:
