Excellence Fences & Decks specializes in home exteriors, such as fences, decks, gates, patios and more. 

We appreciate that they start each project with an original and detailed 3D model. This allows you to make changes to your plans and see a visual representation of the final outcome before it comes to life — it’s certainly better than seeing it on a printout!

Conveniently, you can get a free quote via their website; you can type in your budget, project type and other details to help them give you an accurate estimate. We suggest you include the measurements of the perimeter if you know it.

Although it’s quite a shame that their fence selection is limited since they mostly focus on and work with wood and composite fences.

On a positive note, their composite fences come with a 15-year guarantee on boards against insects, fungus and mould. So rest assured, you can call them to deal with the slimy mould or deteriorating board at no cost.

We also love that they offer financing options to get your fencing project as soon as possible. This is especially helpful for those on a tight schedule who still need to save up for the full price.

And speaking of schedules, we commend them for prioritizing deadlines and value your time, like ensuring speedy deliveries and fast turnarounds.

Squirrel Construction Ltd. offers pressure-treated fences and decks to Winnipegers. 

One thing that stood out the most to us is how the entire team values and maintains communication before, during and after their service.

For instance, the contractor would constantly provide updates about the project status, permits and all other details. Plus, they always pick up calls to answer questions and make suggestions of what would be the best options for you.

That said, you can take advantage of their responsiveness by calling them for a free over-the-phone estimate, as long as you have the necessary measurements — it’ll save you from a $30 to $80 remote or on-site estimate fee!

On top of this, we noticed that their rates are lighter on your pockets than other contractors. And by no means does it diminish the quality of their performance and services.

Though just a heads up, they don’t accept credit cards, so you’ll have to pay with cash, cheque or money order.

We also think it’s a bummer that they’re closed on weekends, which makes it more challenging if you’re busy and don’t have someone to monitor the project during weekdays.

Nonetheless, we recommend Squirrel Construction Ltd. for their strong and long-lasting builds, with some lasting over a decade without any major damage or imperfections — it’s actually nuts!

Since its establishment in 1997, Accurate Building continues to provide outdoor living projects, including fences, decks, pergolas, privacy walls, outdoor kitchens, gazebos, and countless other outdoor projects.

We’re impressed by their skills and experience in using the latest technology in design software so you can visualize exactly how your new fence will look in your space. They also give you images so you can see exactly how your project is being built, from start to finish.

Should you consider their services, we encourage you to book a no-obligation site visit consultation. You’ll be meeting with one of their creative consultants to discuss your project — a plus for first impressions!

However, we realized that their rates for materials, succeeding consultations, designs and planning are slightly pricier than other contractors. So, it’s best to keep an eye on their estimates to avoid spending more than you plan. 

On the other hand, we can’t deny the high-end materials and quality of their projects and services since most clients are always happy with the finished results. 

It’s also worth mentioning that their crew doesn’t cut corners and has excellent attention to detail. And we appreciate that they clean up every day before leaving as the project progresses. 

Lastly, you can expect Accurate Building to save you from all the hassle with paperwork and permits from the city to get your fence started.

What we like most about Total Yard Works Landscaping & Fences Winnipeg is that besides catering to your fence, deck and gazebo needs, they also specialize in landscaping services.

For us, their expertise in landscaping allows them to give you a different perspective in taking on the project. You can also rely on them to fix or tidy up the landscaping as they progress.

It’s also a plus in our books that they have a wide variety of fences, such as wood, chain link and ornamental fencing services. So whether you’re looking for privacy, security or elegance, they have fence styles to match your needs — giving you more customizable options!

Another thing we appreciate is their accommodating team, especially when it comes to taking client requests for specific materials and tight deadlines. 

So don’t hold back on your questions and concerns because, from what we’ve seen, they’re highly responsive with emails and calls – be it a new or existing client, they’ll give you a reply.

But, we’re quite iffy about reports regarding the lack of cleanup after their services. It’s probably best to monitor the last day to make a final inspection before they leave without cleaning.

Still, Total Yard Works Landscaping & Fences Winnipeg is one of our top picks for those looking to build chain link and ornamental fences just before winter starts!

Wallace + Wallace Fences is a manufacturer, distributor and installer of residential, specialty and commercial fencing, overhead doors and gates.

One of Wallace + Wallace Fences’ highlights is that you have more fencing options with them than the majority on this list. They offer chain link, vinyl, wood, ornamental, welded wire and even pool fences, ranging from cost-effective to more luxurious options.

Notably, we like that they also offer fence repair services so you can avoid costly replacements. You can call them when your fence has visible or concerning wear and tear, like when fence boards loosen or sag — a fencing facelift makes it last longer.

It’s also admirable that they provide a one-year workmanship and product warranty. That said, don’t hesitate to hit them up if there are any defects due to faulty workmanship or product defects to have them resolved at no cost to you!

Although, we’re a bit concerned about reports on the lack of communication, especially with progress and billing updates.

Consequently, it also causes delays and rescheduling, inconveniencing clients with tight schedules.

We suggest you ask for direct contact with the contractor assigned to stay on top of schedules and updates. You can get this during your initial consultation by booking a free on-site visit and estimate.

Ultimately, we believe Wallace + Wallace Fences is a solid choice if you want to explore more fencing options and materials.
