Fences & Decks

Whether creating a backyard space in Chatham or installing a privacy fence in Tilbury, each project is built to remain stable, functional, and visually clean through changing seasons.

Your Local Choice For Fence & Deck Installation

Fence and deck projects in Chatham Kent, Essex and Lambton county need to be built with local conditions in mind. This area experiences strong winds across open land, heavy moisture during seasonal transitions, and freeze-thaw cycles that can shift improperly installed structures over time. A properly constructed fence or deck accounts for these factors from the ground up. Posts must be set at the correct depth to prevent movement, framing must allow for expansion and contraction, and materials must be selected to handle constant exposure to weather. Without this level of precision, structures can warp, lean, or deteriorate prematurely. Whether creating a backyard space in Chatham or installing a privacy fence in Tilbury, each project is built to remain stable, functional, and visually clean through changing seasons.

Why Proper Installation Matters

Outdoor structures rely heavily on structural integrity. Poorly installed decks or fences can shift, weaken, or fail prematurely. Precision in layout, leveling, fastening, and support ensures:

  • Long-term durability
  • Safe, stable structures
  • Reduced maintenance and repairs
  • Clean, professional finish 
Decks and fences are constantly exposed to the elements. Materials and installation methods must account for moisture, temperature changes, and ground movement. Proper construction reduces warping, shifting, and long-term deterioration.

The guys did a fantastic job. Looks like a completely different house. They got it done in a timely manner, even though the weather didn't cooperate. Were very respectful and courteous. They even were even a hit with the kids. Honest pricing and excellent work.
We had Horizon do a vinyl fence for our property. Horizon was a referral from another company that was doing work at our house. Horizon did an excellent job putting up our fence. Our yard was on a slant in the back, but the team took their time to ensure that the fence was completed properly . The owner kept in touch with me throughout the project to ensure all was completed to our expectations. Myself and my wife are very happy with this referral, and we will being tell our neigbours in this new subdiviosn about Horizon. Thank you very much team-a job well done!!

Fencing Options

Wood Fencing

A traditional option that provides strong privacy and a natural look. Pressure-treated wood is used to improve durability and resistance to moisture and decay.

Vinyl Fencing

Low-maintenance and long-lasting. Vinyl fences do not rot, warp, or require painting, making them a reliable option for homeowners looking for a clean, consistent finish.

Composite Fencing

Built for strength and longevity, composite fencing offers the appearance of wood with improved resistance to weathering, fading, and deterioration over time.

How Much Does a New Deck Cost?

The cost of building a new deck depends on a few key factors, including size, materials, layout, and site conditions. Most projects are priced based on the level of customization and the type of materials selected.

For a standard pressure-treated wood deck, costs are typically more budget-friendly and suited for straightforward layouts. Composite decking, while a higher upfront investment, offers lower maintenance and longer-lasting performance.

What affects the cost:

  • Size of the deck – Larger decks require more materials and labour
  • Material choice – Pressure-treated wood vs. composite or PVC
  • Design complexity – Multi-level decks, custom shapes, or built-in features
  • Railings and stairs – Glass, aluminum, or wood railing systems
  • Site conditions – Sloped yards, accessibility, and ground preparation
  • Permits and code requirements – Based on local regulations in Tilbury, Chatham, and Windsor

    Typical price ranges:

    • Pressure-treated wood deck: $35–$55 per sq. ft.
    • Composite deck: $55–$90+ per sq. ft.
