THE PROCESS

At The Good Guys Contracting, we aim to make your project as smooth as possible. Here are the steps we follow to achieve your dream fence.

  • There are many unique styles of fences to choose from and The Good Guys offer it all. Select a fence from a variety of materials and styles that fit your liking and needs. To view our services, you are welcome to browse our website, call us by phone, or book an in-person consultation with a representative that will show you all that we have to offer and help you find the fence that best suits you.

  • Homeowners are responsible for providing property lines or exact location of the fence to be built. We recommend this is done first to know where the fence would be built and get accurate measurements.

  • We have an online calculator that allows you to browse our fence services and access an accurate price bracket for each material and fence style. A sales representative is also available to provide your first quote over the phone or on-site during any visit. This is the first quote to find the fence that fits your budget.

  • To finalize your fence project, a representative must visit your property to meet you and evaluate the work site. The evaluation is done to identify exact measurements, all requests you have, and assess the job level. We want to be there to provide you with all the information and answers you need. Let us make sure you are comfortable and know exactly what you are receiving.

  • At this point, we will provide a final quote for the project. Your quote will include a full contract, material and labour costs, a detailed map of the site, all custom upgrades, and specifications of the chosen fence style. You will receive an email copy and given time to review all the details. Once the contract is signed, a 50% deposit prior to ordering materials will be required.

    We book you in our calendar the same day the contract is signed. Your project will be scheduled at the earliest time slot available. We can accept bookings months ahead of time and give you a 1-2 week time bracket for our start date.

  • The Good Guys take responsibility for calling the City of Ottawa to locate underground public utilities on your property. This is done once the contract has been signed and can take up to 2 weeks.

    Homeowners are responsible for disclosing any private utilities that may be in the ground prior to signing the contract. Private utilities may include sprinklers, drain pipes, and pipes/conduits you have personally installed, or animal barriers.

  • Once the 50% deposit has been placed, materials will be ordered to the property for the scheduled build date. Delivery of materials requires no contact with homeowners. A house or address is designated for receiving. The material will come on wood pallets and be placed at the pre-determined area, either the front, back or side of your property.

  • The first step to building a fence or deck is to dig the foundation and set posts. After digging is complete, all the soil is removed from the site and disposed of at a waste facility. Depending on the size of the project, this stage can be done within 1-3 days. Typically for a 1 house project, this is completed in 1 day and building is started the same or next day. For an 8 house project this can take 2 days.

  • Our Craftsmen will prep and cut material to build your fence and gates. Our efficient methods will your fence/deck up in no time! Throughout the building process, the Craftsmen will ensure quality standards are maintained and that everything is built to perfection. There will be workstations set up across your property to keep the site tidy and organized. The building stage is completed within 1-4 days.

  • Upon completion of your fence the site will be fully cleared, and all waste will be removed and disposed of at a waste facility. The fence will be cleaned from saw dust and dirt to give it a fresh finish.
