What to know about Fences
A fence marks a boundary, keeps children and pets in, screens a patio from the street or the wind and, around a pool, acts as a safety barrier the law requires. Fence contractors build new fences, replace worn-out runs, hang and adjust gates, and repair posts that have leaned or lifted after a hard winter. In Canada, frost and snow shape the job as much as looks do: posts stand in ground that freezes and thaws every year, and the sections along a driveway take a beating from snowbanks and plows.

Nothing else we list sits within 30 km of Yellowknife — the closest is Fort McMurray, 659 km away. On a short fence job the drive is part of what you pay, so ask where a pro starts the day before you compare prices.
Yellowknife publishes its own building-permit page, and it is linked below beside the rules that apply in Northwest Territories. Whether fence needs a permit is answered there, not in a quote.
Our Northwest Territories guide has no rule written for this trade, so there is none below. That is not the same as nothing applying: ask for proof of insurance, and for anything that touches gas, wiring or drains, ask who is certified to do it.
Fence costs in Yellowknife
Prices depend on the details of your project. We only publish price ranges when they’re backed by real LokalMatch quote data or reliable sources. Until then, here’s what usually changes the price:
- Size and complexity of the piece or structure
- Wood species or material
- Custom design compared with standard sizes
- Hardware, railings and finishing
- Removal of what's there now
- Permits and drawings, where needed
How to choose fence contractors in Yellowknife
- Choose a carpenter whose past work matches your project, whether that's framing, trim, built-ins, stairs or a deck.
- Ask for drawings or a clear description of what will be built, including materials and finishes.
- For decks, stairs and railings, ask whether a permit is needed, since these are safety items.
- Get a written quote that says who supplies materials and whether finishing, such as painting or staining, is included.
- Ask how they'll handle surprises like rot or uneven walls and floors.
Questions to ask fence contractors before you hire
- Can you show me photos of similar work you've done?
- What materials will you use, and why?
- Does this project need a permit, and will you get it?
- Is finishing, such as sanding, painting or staining, included?
- How will you attach the work to the existing structure?
- What warranty do you offer on your workmanship?
Fence permits in Yellowknife
Some fence work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Fence questions from homeowners
Common fence questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
