Before work begins

Planning considerations

Measurements, grade, drainage, access for materials, gate swing, property-line information and utility locates all affect the installation plan. Exact boundaries may require a survey; a website estimate cannot establish a legal property line. Municipal requirements vary, so current rules should be checked before construction.

After installation or repair

Maintenance considerations

Compare the full ownership picture. Wood can be repaired board by board but benefits from periodic finishing. Vinyl is easy to wash but damaged sections must match. Aluminum resists rust, while steel and chain-link coatings should be checked where scratched. Composite has low finishing needs but system-specific parts matter.

Answers before you estimate

Fence Installation questions

Which fence material gives the most privacy?

Solid-board wood, vinyl privacy panels and some composite systems provide full screening. Height, grade and municipal rules still shape the final result.

Can a new fence follow sloped ground?

Often yes. Panels may step or follow grade, depending on the system. A site assessment helps account for gaps, drainage and appearance.

Do I need exact property-line information?

Reliable boundary information is important. Existing fences are not proof of a legal boundary; consider survey information and neighbour coordination before work begins.
