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!
Fencing is often priced and sold by SECTIONS, not by linear feet! Even when the linear footage is included specifically on 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!
This is a very interesting difference that we would love to explore and explain to you if you'd like to speak with one of our fence experts further. Be aware, “price per linear foot” is a ploy that many unprofessional fence installers in the British Columbia area use!

Fencing is one of the easiest industries to “get into” for start-up business and novice laborers. For these people, who are 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 and/or companies who show up in British Columbia, install residential fences for a short time, then disappear. We see it all the time. Beware! You only want to work with a fully licensed and insured fencing contractor in British Columbia.
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 isn't still around, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless. Additionally, some manufacturers won't warranty their fence material if it was damaged during installation or installed improperly - which is very common with non-professionals.
The Fence Almost Certainly Won't Last As Long
As a professional fencing contractor, our team of installers undergoes rigorous training and constant professional supervision. We are dedicated to improving our knowledge and skills of the best fencing materials and the best fence installation techniques in order to maximize the strength and life of your fence. Companies that simply install fences as something they do "on the side" usually have no idea how much they actually don't know about residential fencing ... and what is best for you and your property.
Putting Your Property at Risk
Installing residential fence in the REGION area is actually somewhat risky. Sudden, harsh weather during the installation of a fence can blow materials - damaging your home. We've seen concrete splatter up 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 while installing fences by untrained labor is a very common thing.
Additionally, anyone hurt on your property while they are working puts you at risk! If you hire an unlicensed or uninsured contractor - you may be liable and your homeowners insurance may deny payment!
At first glance, hiring a novice to install your fence may appear to save you a few dollars, but in the long run it is almost certainly a price that you simply cannot afford to pay!
Prices on commercial fences are highly dependent on the material you choose and the exact style you order. We provide commercial fencing quotes for free!

There are many small fence companies in British Columbia that list commercial fencing as one of their services. If you have a very small commercial fencing project, then a fence company that typically does mostly residential fencing is probably qualified for the job. Otherwise, be sure to stick with a company that is equipped and specially trained for commercial fence projects.
Also be sure to choose a reliable fence company that has been around. Here are some of the most common pitfalls of using an unreliable, unlicensed, or uninsured commercial fencing contractor:
The commercial Fence Warranty is Void
If the company that installed your commercial fence isn't still in business down the road, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless.

Yes! We are a leading aluminum fencing contractor across the entire British Columbia area.
Our crews are experienced and specially trained in the latest techniques for installing aluminum fences - ensuring your fence is installed properly, will look great, function properly, and will hold up to the harsh weather typical of British Columbia.
Aluminum fencing is a popular option for homes and businesses in the British Columbia region. Aluminum fences are strong yet lightweight. Together with their durable protective coating - aluminum fences easily stand-up to the harsh weather conditions of British Columbia.
While there are other fence materials that are less expensive initially, aluminum fencing requires nearly zero maintenance. Over time aluminum fencing is actually a less expensive fencing material than many of the other alternatives in terms of time and cost saving of paints and sealers that are not required by aluminum fences.
If a maintenance-free elegant looking fence is what you want, look no further than aluminum fencing.
Aluminum fences are very durable! Don't let the light weight fool you. Aluminum is a very strong material used in airplanes, cars, and many other items that are designed to protect you. Aluminum fencing is more than strong enough and durable enough to protect your home or business - while standing strong in the face of the British Columbia weather. Typical physical abuse from falling limbs, landscapers, kids, animals, neighbors, and more are usually no problem for our professional-quality aluminum fencing.
It should be mentioned however, that some discount fencing contractors in British Columbia are known to undercut prices by using lower quality aluminum fencing - which absolutely does not hold up as well. Be careful. You get what you pay for!
Prices on aluminum fences are highly dependent on the amount of fencing you need as well as the exact style, height, and options you select.
We provide aluminum fencing quotes for free! Simply reach out to our team through our online form or give us a call and our team of friendly, experienced staff will be glad to walk you through the process and plan a consultation.
Important!
We encourage you to speak with one of our fence experts before focusing solely on price! There are cheaper, very poor quality aluminum fence brands available that are not nearly as durable, will fade, will bend, and have limited (if any) warranty. We don't use them.
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).
Aluminum fences must stand up to the physical demands of the British Columbia weather, and physical abuse from falling branches, landscapers, neighbors, animals, and more.
Shopping for the cheapest fence is usually not the best way to make a decision about the fence you want to protect and beautify your property.
Aluminum fences require very little maintenance. Aluminum is rust and corrosion resistant, naturally. In addition, our professional quality aluminum fencing has been factory treated to further prevent rust and corrosion, while resisting color fading and dull finish issues that are more common with lower quality aluminum fencing.
For this reason, an occasional mild rinse with a water hose, a gentle, non-abrasive home cleaner, and a sponge should be sufficient. Apart from that, you should not need to do anything except enjoy your beautiful aluminum fence!
Our aluminum fences are powder coated at the factory. A powder-coating added to an aluminum fence prevents corrosion and makes regular maintenance a breeze by sealing in 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 aluminum fence for your British Columbia property, you definitely want to protect the beauty and durability of your fence with a powder coating. No stress. We ONLY sell and install powder-coated aluminum fences for both residential and commercial applications.
Yes, they do!
Our aluminum fences have impressive warranties directly from the manufacturer. Depending on the specific brand and style of aluminum fence you choose, many of them come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty - ensuring that all aluminum 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 important 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 British Columbia - one happy customer at a time.
Whether you need a residential aluminum fence or a commercial-grade aluminum fence we understand that you want a great fence and you don't want to wait forever to get it! Generally, our estimation and installation timelines are based on a large number of factors and are highly variable. To get the most accurate estimate for the timeline of your projects, reach out to us and we will be happy to help!

Yes! We are a leading chain link fencing contractor across the entire British Columbia area.
Our crews are experienced and specially trained in the latest techniques for installing chain link fences - ensuring your fence is installed properly, will look great, function properly, and will hold up to the harsh weather typical of British Columbia.
Chain link fencing is a popular option for homes and businesses in the British Columbia region. Chain link fences are strong yet lightweight. Together with their galvanized coating - chain link fences easily stand-up to the harsh weather conditions of British Columbia while also resisting rust and corrosion.
If a durable, reliable fence is what you want, look no further than chain link fencing.
Chain link fences are very durable! Chain link fencing is more than strong enough and durable enough to protect your home or business - while standing strong in the face of the British Columbia weather. Typical physical abuse from falling limbs, landscapers, kids, animals, neighbors, and more is usually no problem for our professional-quality chain link fencing.
If you choose a colored PVC coating that also beautifies the fence, the added corrosion protection will extend the life of your chain link fence for many additional years!
Prices on chain link fences are highly dependent on the amount of fencing you need as well as the exact style, height, and options you select.
We provide chain link fencing quotes for free! Simply reach out to our team through our online form or give us a call and our team of friendly, experienced staff will be glad to walk you through the process and plan a consultation.
Important!
We encourage you to speak with one of our fence experts before focusing solely on price! There are cheaper, very poor quality chain link brands available that are not nearly as durable, don't have the same quality corrosion protection, and have limited (if any) warranty. We don't use them.
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).

Shopping for the cheapest fence is usually not the best way to make a decision about the fence you want to protect and beautify your property.
Chain link fences require very little maintenance. Our professional quality chain link fencing has been factory treated to prevent rust and corrosion, and can be further enhanced with protective colored vinyl coating.
We recommend clearing debris away from the bottom of the fence and maybe a quick squirt of the hose every once in a while. Chain link fencing requires almost no attention or maintenance.
PVC-coated chain link fencing (sometimes called vinyl-coated chain link fencing) is that beautiful colored coating that can be added to chain link fencing. More than a simple color choice, vinyl coating your chain link fence greatly increases the rust and corrosion resistance of the fence and will greatly extend the life of your fence.
Colored vinyl coatings added to chain link fences are very popular in the British Columbia area. They are particularly popular for athletic fields, pool areas, and anywhere else where children are commonly found - due to the smooth texture. These PVC coatings are applied at the factory for maximum quality and protection.
It's fairly easy to secure your chain link fence from being able to be pushed out for a pet to escape. A tension wire can be added to the bottom of the chain link to keep it from being pushed out by children or animals. If a tension wire is not enough, a bottom rail could also be installed for an even stronger barrier.
Yes, they do!
Our chain link fences have impressive warranties directly from the manufacturer. Depending on the specific options you choose, many of them come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty - ensuring that all chain link fencing materials and vinyl finishes will be free from manufacturing defects for the entire duration of the warranty period. Of course we will guide you through these important details to make sure you get the best warranty available.

There are many small fence companies in British Columbia that install chain link fencing. Very few of them specifically train their teams on the best installation techniques and practices for installing chain link fencing. Unfortunately, this means that your chain link is almost certainly not installed as securely as it could be - which, ultimately, can reduce the quality and lifespan of your fence.
Inferior installation techniques and using improper tools can also damage the chain link during installation which may have the unfortunate impact of voiding the manufacturer's warranty - because you chose an unqualified contractor not approved by the manufacturer.
Also be sure to choose a reliable fence company that has been around. Here are some of the most common pitfalls of using an unreliable, unlicensed, or uninsured chain link fencing contractor:
The Chain Link Fence Warranty is Void
If the company that installed your chain link isn't still in business down the road, the workmanship warranty on the fence and the gates is worthless.

Yes! We are a leading vinyl fencing contractor across the entire British Columbia area.
Our crews are experienced and specially trained in the latest techniques for installing vinyl fences - ensuring your fence is installed properly, will look great, function properly, and will hold up to the harsh weather typical of British Columbia.
Vinyl fencing is a popular option for homes and businesses in the British Columbia region. Vinyl fences are strong enough to stand-up to the harsh weather conditions of British Columbia.
Vinyl fencing requires nearly zero maintenance. Over time vinyl fencing is actually a less expensive fencing material than many of the other alternatives in terms of time and cost savings of paints that wood fences require.
If a maintenance-free, clean and modern looking fence is what you want, look no further than vinyl fencing.
Vinyl lasts a long time, so you don't have to generate or consume as many new resources to replace it, and it can be recycled after you're done with it. There's no need to paint it or treat it with other chemicals. Vinyl fencing is one of the most eco-friendly alternatives available.
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), the plastic most often used to make a vinyl fence, ranks third among the world's most manufactured synthetic plastics. Beautiful fences in a number of designs may be made from it, but it also has many other applications in the building industry, including in windows, pipelines, and other items.
Vinyl fencing is one of the most eco-friendly alternatives available.
Vinyl lasts a long time, so you don't have to generate or consume as many new resources to replace it, and it can be recycled after you're done with it. Recycled vinyl fencing is often used in the next generation of new vinyl fences, making it a great option for those who are environmentally aware!
Another huge benefit to your immediate environment and to the health of your family and pets is that vinyl fencing does not require harsh cleaners, or paint, or sealers - all of which may contain harsh or even toxic chemicals.
PVC, the material used to make vinyl fences, is nonporous, therefore it does not readily accept paint.

Important!
We encourage you to speak with one of our fence experts before focusing solely on price! There are cheaper, very poor quality vinyl fence brands available that are not nearly as durable, will fade, will often warp, and have limited (if any) warranty. We don't use them.
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 British Columbia weather, and physical abuse from falling branches, landscapers, neighbors, animals, and more.
Shopping for the cheapest fence is usually not the best way to make a decision about the fence you want to protect and beautify your property.
