Fencing in Windsor

Fencing for Windsor homes

Windsor's housing ranges from early-1900s homes in Walkerville and the older core to post-war bungalows and newer subdivisions. Windsor's older neighbourhoods often have narrow lots, laneways and shared fence lines with long histories. We take extra care laying out fences in tight spaces, and we'll talk with you about the City of Windsor's fence by-law and neighbour considerations before starting.

What's included

Wood, vinyl, aluminum and chain link fences set on properly dug posts for privacy, safety and curb appeal. Depending on your project, the work can include:

• Wood privacy fences
• Vinyl fences
• Ornamental aluminum
• Chain link
• Gates
• Fence repair and replacement
• Site visit.
• Quote.
• Locates and layout.
• Install.

Full details, our process and common questions are on our main fencing page.

Local conditions in Windsor

Windsor sees hot, humid summers, strong thunderstorms and repeated freeze-thaw cycles each winter, all of which are hard on roofs, siding, eavestroughs and wood trim. Mature trees on many older streets add leaf build-up and shade that can hold moisture against the house, so we pay close attention to drainage, flashing and ventilation.

Questions to ask before you hire

Whoever you hire for fencing in Windsor, get clear answers to these before signing:

• How will the property line be confirmed before posts are set?
• How deep will posts be installed?
• Does the fence height comply with the local fence by-law?

Permits and approvals

Building permits in Windsor are issued by the City of Windsor's building department, and zoning rules come from the City's zoning by-law. Requirements depend on the scope of work, so we confirm what applies to your project during planning and handle applications for the work we're doing.
