Construction & Installation in Courtice, ON

Fences and Sheds Built for Big Courtice Yards

Fence maintenance is one of the regular calls we get in Courtice, and fence installation on a big lot means a long run of posts. The posts are what fail. Wood set in concrete or straight into the soil rots at grade, where it stays wet, and frost lifts posts that weren't set below the loose topsoil. Replacing a few posts and rehanging the panels can buy years before the whole fence needs rebuilding.

An older shed with a soft floor and a door that drags raises the same repair-or-replace question. When we build new, the shed sits on a proper base, either a gravel pad or poured footings depending on its size and the ground, and the floor is framed with treated lumber so it stays off the wet. The door goes on whichever side makes it easiest to get the mower in and out.

With a big yard you also have room to put a pergola where it actually gives you shade in the afternoon, instead of wherever the patio happens to be. Pergolas and covered patio structures range from $3,000 to $8,000. Posts go on proper footings and the beams are sized for the span, so the top stays straight. Every project starts with a consultation and measurements, then a written proposal with the full cost and schedule.
