Most wood fence problems in North York start the same way. One post heaves up after a hard winter. Boards cup, the gate drags, and the whole line tilts toward your neighbour’s yard. Then the quotes come in on scraps of paper, with no footage, no post depth, and no start date. Integra Renovation works the other way.

Most North York homeowners pay about $45 to $85 per linear foot installed for a 6 ft wood fence in 2026. Pressure treated pine sits at the low end. Western red cedar sits at the high end. A standard 100 ft backyard line usually lands between $4,500 and $8,500. Old fence removal adds about $3 to $10 per foot. Gates, 8 ft heights, rocky soil, slopes, and tight laneway access push the price up. We measure your yard and give you one fixed written price, not a phone guess. That is what a wood fence installation North York quote should look like before you sign.

Usually no. Toronto does not require a building permit for a standard residential fence, but your fence still has to meet Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 447. You do need approval for a pool enclosure fence, a fence taller than the limit, a fence on a heritage property, or a fence on City land. Going over the height limit means a fence exemption application, which costs $200 and is not refunded if it is refused. We tell you which case you are in before you sign anything.
2.0 m (about 6 ft 7 in) in the rear and side yard, and 1.2 m (4 ft) in the front yard if it is solid. A 6 ft privacy fence is always safe. A front fence can go to 2.0 m only if it is at least half open, like picket or iron. On a corner lot, nothing over about 0.75 m can sit in the sight triangle at the corner and any fence within 2.4 m of a driveway must be open style so drivers can see.
Cedar looks better and lasts longer. Pressure treated pine costs less. Cedar resists rot on its own and lasts about 15 to 25 years with a stain every 2 to 3 years. Pressure treated pine lasts about 15 to 20 years and costs roughly 25% to 40% less. Many North York families do the smart split: pressure treated on the long back line nobody sees, cedar on the section they look at from the deck.
Most wood fence installation North York projects are finished in 1 to 3 days once we start. A 100 to 150 ft line with one gate is usually 2 days. The wait is before that: Ontario law gives utilities at least 5 business days to mark buried lines, so plan on roughly 1 to 3 weeks from signed quote to build day in spring, less in late fall.
Below the frost line, which is roughly 1.2 m (4 ft) in the Toronto area. We auger 8 to 12 inch holes, drop gravel for drainage, set 4×4 or 6×6 posts in concrete, and crown the top of the footing so water runs away from the wood. Shallow posts are the number one reason North York fences start to lean after two or three winters.
If the fence sits on the shared property line, you can split the cost. Ontario’s Line Fences Act sets out how boundary fence disputes get handled, and most neighbours settle it with a simple written agreement on height, wood, and split before work starts. If your neighbour says no, you can build the fence fully on your own side and pay for it yourself. We give you a plain notice letter and a sketch you can hand over. If nobody knows where the real line is, an Ontario Land Surveyor is the only true answer.
Yes to both. Old fence removal, post pulling, and dump runs are line items in your quote, so nothing gets added later. We also file your free Ontario One Call locate request. In Ontario, locates are required by law before any digging, including post holes, and the request has to go in at least 5 business days ahead.
Book in late winter for a spring build. February and March are the quietest weeks to lock a spot before the spring rush. We install from the spring thaw through late fall, and in winter only when the ground allows. Every fence comes with a written workmanship warranty, and we answer callbacks inside that window. Call +1 519-981-8478.
Most North York wood fences cost $65 to $145 per linear foot, installed. That price covers posts, concrete, boards, rails, hardware, labour and cleanup. Here is what each build type runs in 2026:
Fence type (6 ft high) | Price per linear foot | Good for |
Pressure-treated, single board | $65 – $80 | Budget yards, long runs |
Pressure-treated, board-on-board | $80 – $95 | Full privacy, no gaps |
Pressure-treated, horizontal | $85 – $105 | Modern look |
Cedar, single board | $110 – $130 | Warm colour, less rot |
Cedar, board-on-board | $125 – $145 | The nicest finish |
Board-on-board is the best privacy fence for North York yards. The boards overlap, so there are no gaps to peek through, even after the wood dries and shrinks. Here are the four styles we build most:
Add a lattice top or an I-beam top if you want a bit more height and a softer look at the top of the run.
Repair it if under a third of the fence is bad and the posts are still solid. Replace it if the posts are rotting at the base or more than half the boards are soft. Quick test: push the fence at the top of a post. If it moves more than an inch, the post is done. Poke the wood at ground level with a screwdriver. If it sinks in easily, the post is rotting from the bottom. Repairs we do all the time in North York:
A repair usually costs a few hundred dollars. A full rebuild costs thousands. We will tell you honestly which one you need, even when the repair is the smaller job for us.
