Question 1

Are you licensed and insured to install fences in Ottawa and Gatineau?

Accepted Answer

We meet all licensing and insurance requirements for each municipality where we install fences in Ottawa and Gatineau. Each municipality has different requirements for contractors, so feel free to speak with us directly about the requirements for your town. We will be happy to provide proof of insurance and licensure information. This is an excellent thing to do when hiring any contractor, not just a fencing contractor. Unfortunately, there are a large number of unlicensed and uninsured contractors doing work across Ottawa and Gatineau. Many homeowners and business owners don't understand the risk they are taking by hiring such a company.

Question 2

Do you offer a warranty?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! As one of the most trusted fencing contractors in the entire Ottawa and Gatineau area, we stand behind our work.
Warranty on Fence Materials
We use professional grade materials and work with high-quality fence manufacturers. This means you are protected with excellent manufacturer warranties on all fencing materials (in most cases). Each fence type and fence manufacturer is different. Our fence experts will guide you to the best solution for your situation - making sure you receive the maximum protection and peace-of-mind for your fence!
Workmanship Warranty on Fence Installations
Our installers are expertly trained for all types of fencing. We are experienced with the specific soil conditions and other factors that impact the strength and resilience of fences installed in the Ottawa and Gatineau area. We stand behind our work and offer a workmanship warranty on all residential and commercial fences we install. Please talk to our fence experts to get the full details of the workmanship warranty for your specific project, and feel confident that working with Ottawa Gatineau Fencing means you never have to worry about our quality or our support!

Question 3

Are you reliable?

Accepted Answer

Yes!
Unfortunately, we hear horror stories all the time about local fence companies that don't return phone calls after collecting a deposit or taking much longer to finish a fence than what they originally told the customer.
Please be careful when choosing a fence company in Ottawa and Gatineau. There are many poorly run, unprofessional companies out there, and there are even a few that seem to be intentionally scamming people.
Our reputation across Ottawa and Gatineau is excellent - because we work hard, we do what we say we're going to do, and we stand behind our work. You can count on the fence experts at Ottawa Gatineau Fencing.

Question 4

How much does a new fence cost?

Accepted Answer

Prices on fences are highly dependent on the type of fence you choose and the amount of fencing you need as well as the exact style, height, and options you select.
We provide 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.
For your convenience, this is a very general guide to how the different types of fencing stack up to each other in terms of pricing:
Aluminum Fence
Expensive initial investment. However, because these fences require no maintenance and usually come with a lifetime warranty - over time, these fences can often provide the best value. There is also some evidence that aluminum fences have the most positive impact on the resale value of a home, if you ever choose to move.
Chain Link Fence
Chain link fencing is very common across Ottawa and Gatineau because it is so versatile and so affordable as compared to just about every other fencing option. Adding upgrades and options will increase the cost of the fence to be more comparable to other types, but it's usually still the lowest priced option.
Ornamental Steel Fences
Ornamental steel fencing is one of the more costly types of fencing in the Ottawa and Gatineau region 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.
Vinyl Fence
Once a very expensive option, standard styles and colors of vinyl fencing may actually be cheaper than other options! Together with impressive warranties, long lifespans, and low-maintenance costs - vinyl fences are a great solution for many different situations.
Wood Fences
The cost of wood has increased tremendously in recent years, so it's hard to make a general statement about how wood stacks up to the cost of the other types of fencing materials. While it does tend to be lower in price than the other options, the cost gap has definitely shrunk. It is also worth noting that there are real costs to treating, cleaning, and maintaining a wood fence over time.

Question 5

What is the most popular type of fence in Ottawa and Gatineau?

Accepted Answer

We are asked this question all the time. The truth is that aluminum fences, chain link fences, ornamental steel fences, vinyl fences and wood fences, are all very popular choices in Ottawa and Gatineau.
What we can tell you is the most popular style of each type of fencing:
3-Rail Black Aluminum Fence
This is the workhorse of aluminum fencing. Used for both residential and commercial applications, people all across Ottawa and Gatineau choose this aluminum fence style for perimeter fencing around their yard, to protect pools, for decorative applications, and more.
Vinyl Coated Chain Link Fence
Chain link fencing protected by PVC (or vinyl) colored coating looks great and lasts a very long time! No matter where you go in Ottawa and Gatineau these chain link fences are everywhere!
Standard Wood Privacy Fence
The standard 6 ft. wood privacy fence is the style of fence that literally represents the entire industry. For many people, when you close your eyes and imagine a "normal fence" this is the image that many people across Ottawa and Gatineau see.
Standard 6 ft. White Vinyl Privacy Fence
Similar in style, design, and purpose to the standard wood privacy fence, the white vinyl version adds the additional benefit of coming with a strong warranty and is maintenance free! It's no wonder so many people across Ottawa and Gatineau choose the standard white vinyl privacy fence.

Question 7

How do I maintain my wood deck in Ottawa and Gatineau?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

Will my deck need a railing?

Accepted Answer

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:
Adds another layer of dimension and style to your deck.
Functional reasons:
Keeps people from stepping off the edge of your deck into landscaping.
Practical reasons:
Makes guests feel more comfortable when closer to the edge of the deck and prevents young children from falling off.
