How much does fence installation cost in Calgary?
Pricing depends on the material you choose, the total length and height of the fence, and site conditions like slope, soil type, or removal of an old fence. Wood and PVC/vinyl typically cost more per foot than chain link, while taller privacy sections and gates add to the total. Since every property is different, the most accurate way to get a number is to request a free estimate — we'll walk the site and give you a firm quote based on your yard, not a generic price list.
Do I need a permit to install a fence in Calgary?
Most residential fences don't require a full building permit, but the City of Calgary does set maximum height limits depending on whether the fence is in a front yard, side yard, or backyard, along with sightline rules near corner lots. We check these details as part of every project so your fence is built to code from the start — you can also see our full breakdown of Calgary's fence height rules on our blog.
How long does it take to install a fence?
For a standard residential property, most fence installations take anywhere from a few days to about a week, depending on the total length, the material, and the weather. Larger properties, custom designs with mixed materials, or sites that need extra prep work — like removing an old fence or dealing with uneven ground — can add extra time. We'll give you a realistic timeline before work begins.
What's the best fence material for Calgary's climate?
There's no single best option — it depends on what you're prioritizing. Wood, especially cedar, offers a natural look and holds up well when properly installed, but needs occasional staining. PVC/vinyl handles Calgary's freeze-thaw cycles with very little upkeep. Chain link is the most budget-friendly and durable option for security or pet containment. We help you weigh these trade-offs based on your yard and how you plan to use it.
What's the difference between wood, PVC, and chain link fencing?
Wood fencing gives you the most natural, customizable look and works well for privacy, but requires more long-term maintenance than the alternatives. PVC (vinyl) fencing is low-maintenance and holds its appearance for years without staining or painting. Chain link is the most affordable and practical option when the priority is security or containment rather than privacy or aesthetics. Most homeowners choose based on which of these — appearance, upkeep, or budget — matters most to them.
Do you install wildlife fencing to keep animals out of my yard?
Yes, we build wildlife fencing designed to keep deer, coyotes, and other local wildlife away from gardens, landscaping, and pets, or to keep pets safely contained within the property. These fences are built with the same durability standards as our residential fencing, adapted to handle the specific pressure wildlife can put on a fence line.
How do I know exactly where my property line is before installing a fence?
This is one of the most common issues homeowners run into, since building even a few inches over the line can lead to disputes with a neighbour down the road. Before installation, we help confirm property boundaries using existing surveys or markers, so the fence is placed correctly the first time and there's no need to move it later.
Do you offer a warranty on fence installation?
Yes, our fence installations are backed by our workmanship guarantee, covering both the quality of materials and the installation itself. You can see the full details of what's covered on our Guarantees page — we stand behind every fence we build.
