Fence installation or replacement. If you are in the market for a brand new fence, a contractor’s services will include walking you through various fence styles and materials, determining a suitable height, ensuring that all fence designs and plans are compliant with Ontario building codes, and that the fencing meets both your stylistic and security needs as the homeowner.
