About Our Fence Installation & Repair Service in Woodstock
A well-installed fence defines your property, adds privacy, and contributes significantly to your home's curb appeal. D&D Exterior Finishing installs wood, vinyl, chain link, and aluminum fencing across Ontario — with every post set to the frost line to prevent heaving and every fence built to last through Ontario's full four seasons. From privacy fences to decorative picket fences, we build what you need.
Ontario Building Code & Climate Context: Ontario's frost depth — the depth to which the ground freezes in winter — is typically 1.2m–1.5m in Southern Ontario. Fence posts set shallower than this will heave when soil freezes and thaws, eventually pushing posts out of the ground and destabilizing the entire fence. Many DIY and low-cost fence installations fail within 3–5 years for exactly this reason. D&D Exterior Finishing sets all fence posts at the proper frost depth and uses concrete backfill to ensure long-term stability in Ontario's ground.

Frequently Asked Questions — Fence Installation & Repair in Woodstock
Do I need a permit to build a fence in Ontario?
Most municipalities in Ontario require a permit for fences over a certain height (typically 2m) or fences adjacent to a corner lot. We advise on local permit requirements during your free estimate.
How deep do fence posts need to be in Ontario?
In Southern Ontario, fence posts should be set at a minimum of 1.2m deep to be below the frost line. D&D Exterior Finishing always sets posts at the proper depth to prevent frost heaving.
What is the best fence material for low maintenance?
Vinyl fencing is the lowest-maintenance option — it never needs painting or staining and won't rot. Aluminum ornamental fencing is also very low maintenance. Pressure-treated wood requires periodic staining but offers a natural aesthetic.
Can you repair my existing fence?
Yes — post replacement, panel repair, board replacement, and gate adjustments are all services we offer. If your fence structure is sound, repair is often more economical than full replacement.
How long does fence installation take?
A typical residential fence (up to 100 linear feet) takes 1–2 days to install. Concrete post footings require a curing period before fence panels are attached. We confirm the full timeline before work begins.
