Fence Installation

Overview

Why Choose Arete for Installation?

A well-built fence is more than a property boundary — it is an architectural element that defines your property's character from the street. Whether you are seeking privacy from neighbours, a safe enclosure for children and pets, or a decorative feature that complements your landscaping, Arete Renovation builds fences that accomplish all three with style and permanence.

We work with cedar, pressure-treated lumber, vinyl (PVC), composite, and aluminum materials. Our installations begin with properly set posts — the true foundation of any fence — and deliver clean, level, square panels that maintain their alignment and appearance for many years without settling or leaning.

Our Fence Build Approach

Our Approach

Post Setting Excellence

Every fence we build starts with properly concrete-set posts at the correct depth for Ontario's frost line. A fence is only as straight and level as its posts — we invest the time to get this critical foundation exactly right.

Material Honest Advice

Cedar looks beautiful initially but requires maintenance every 2-3 years. Vinyl never needs painting or staining. Composite offers a middle ground. We give you genuinely honest, agenda-free guidance on each material.

Level, Plumb, and Square

We use laser levels throughout installation to ensure every panel is perfectly level, every post is plumb, and every corner is square. These are the details that separate premium fence installation from average work.

Custom Gate Solutions

Gates are the weakest point of any fence system. Our custom gate builds use heavy-duty hardware, anti-sag kits, and proper structural framing to ensure your gate swings perfectly and stays adjusted for years to come.

Bylaw Knowledge

We understand Toronto fence bylaw requirements regarding heights, setback distances, and shared-fence agreements with neighbours. We guide you through the neighbourly and legal aspects of any fence project.

Weatherproof Longevity

All wood fence components are treated to resist moisture, insects, and UV degradation. We use hot-dipped galvanized hardware throughout — because the fasteners holding your fence together must be as durable as the wood itself.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked

Fences over 2 metres (approximately 6.5 feet) in height require a building permit in the City of Toronto. Most standard 6-foot privacy fences do not, but specific setback rules and corner lot restrictions apply. We guide you through all requirements.

A typical backyard fence installation of 100-150 linear feet takes 2-4 days depending on terrain, the number of gates, and material type. We provide a firm schedule at the time of quoting.

Yes. Old fence removal and full disposal is offered as a standard add-on service. We haul away all old materials completely — no mess left behind for you to deal with.

Cedar should be cleaned and sealed or stained every 2-3 years to maintain its warm colour and resist greying. An annual light wash with a deck cleaner and soft brush helps maintain its natural appearance between treatments.
