Your project
Is it new construction or a renovation?
In new construction, there is nothing to remove.
A fence is priced per linear foot, and depends first on the material and height. The calculator estimates your lot perimeter from your address, then prices the panels, posts, gates and installation.
What changes the price of a fence
- The length
- The run, measured on your lot; a fence on three sides obviously costs less than the full perimeter.
- The material
- Chain link is the cheapest; treated wood comes next; PVC, aluminum and cedar cost more.
- The height
- A 6 ft fence needs longer, deeper posts and more material than a 4 ft fence.
- The posts
- In Quebec, posts are set in concrete below the frost line; rocky or sloped ground slows the work.
- Gates and removal
- Each gate is extra, as is removing an existing fence.
What the estimate includes
- Panels or mesh, posts, rails and hardware
- Concrete for the posts and digging the holes
- The chosen gates
- Removal of the old fence, if needed
- Labour, mobilization and a contractor’s normal margin
Frequently asked questions
How much does a fence cost in Quebec and Canada?

This is an estimate, not a quote: the calculator redoes it for your home.
Do I need a permit for a fence?
Most municipalities require a permit or certificate, and limit the height (often 2 m in the backyard, less in front). Also check the lot line with your neighbour.
Who pays for a shared fence?
The Civil Code of Québec allows you to require the neighbour to share the cost of a common fence, under certain conditions. Better to agree in writing before the work.
Wood, PVC or chain link?
Chain link lasts and costs little, but hides nothing. Wood gives privacy at the best price, but needs maintenance. PVC costs more and needs nothing.
Is this a firm price?
No. It is an estimate calculated for your lot, made to set a budget and compare quotes. Only an installer who has seen the run can sign a price.
