Fence Installation — Burnaby, BC
Burnaby's rapid densification — townhouse complexes in Brentwood, infill housing along Hastings, and condo-adjacent properties near Metrotown — has made privacy fencing one of the most requested services in the city. Properties that once had a neighbour twenty feet away now share a lot line with a three-storey townhouse wall. At the same time, established Burnaby Heights and Willingdon Heights homes have aging cedar fences from the 1990s that are rotting at the posts and leaning into the yard. Whether you need a new privacy fence for a dense urban lot or a full replacement on an older property, Burnaby's diverse housing stock demands a flexible approach to fencing.
Dense townhouse and infill development in Brentwood and Metrotown creates demand for tall privacy fencing on narrow lot lines with minimal working space.
Burnaby Heights and Willingdon Heights have aging cedar fences from the 1990s–2000s where the posts have rotted at ground level, requiring full replacement rather than repair.
Varied terrain across Burnaby means fence lines often follow slopes — stepped or racked panel designs are needed to maintain consistent height on grade changes.
Shared fence lines between older homes and new infill developments create coordination challenges when one side wants to replace and the other does not.
For Burnaby's dense lots, we build fences designed to work in tight spaces — narrow-footprint post-and-rail systems with boards attached on the privacy side. Stepped designs follow Burnaby's hillside grades with consistent panel height from top to ground. Full fence replacements on established properties include post removal, new concrete footings, and fresh boards with back-priming for moisture protection. We coordinate with neighbours on shared fence lines and can build on the property boundary with proper survey verification. Burnaby's mix of old and new housing means we carry both traditional cedar and modern composite materials to match each context.
Fence installation in Burnaby typically ranges from $3,500 to $17,000 for a residential lot. Cedar privacy fencing runs $40 to $65 per linear foot. Composite fencing is $58 to $88 per linear foot. Hillside lots requiring stepped or racked installations add 10 to 15 percent over flat-grade pricing. Full replacement of aging fences includes removal and disposal of old materials.

Fence Installation across every neighbourhood in Burnaby.
On sloped lots in Burnaby, we use either a stepped design (where each panel steps down the grade) or a racked design (where the panel follows the slope angle). Stepped installations are more common for privacy fencing because they maintain consistent panel height. We set posts plumb regardless of grade and adjust the bottom rail height to follow the ground line. This keeps the fence structurally sound and visually clean on Burnaby's varied terrain.
Sometimes — but usually no. In Burnaby, most fences needing replacement are 15 to 25 years old, and the posts are the first component to fail. We inspect every post for rot at and below ground level. If more than 25 percent of posts are compromised, a full replacement is more cost-effective and reliable than patching. We include removal and disposal of old materials in the replacement scope.
A standard residential fence replacement in Burnaby takes 2 to 4 working days — one day for removal and post setting, one to two days for boards, and a cleanup day. Larger properties or complex hillside installations may take 5 to 7 days. We schedule in-fill projects between bigger jobs, so Burnaby fence work often starts quickly.
