I highly recommend Matt for any outdoor building job. He was very communicative, always making sure we were happy with every detail of the build. He is honest and reliable. Did an impeccable job building our pergola. His team member also worked extremely hard. Nicest guy, talented and finished the work in a matter of days.
Cannot recommend more highly! The most professional, responsive and genuine team you could work with. Great communication and amazing workmanship. We are so happy with our backyard trellis boxes and backyard oasis. We’ll be working with Matt and his team whenever we have a project. During a highly competitive year for tradespeople these guys stepped up - even for what some might consider a small job. Love these guys!!!
Absolutely thrilled with the gorgeous fence Matt and Auzzie built in our front yard. They took our design idea and turned it into a stunning peice of functional art. Friendly yet professional and detail oriented, they get the job done right. We have had numerous compliments from neighbors and even a few people knocking on the door asking who built it!! Was a great experience from start to finish and I would highly recommend for any top-level woodworking needs you have.
Frequently asked questions
We employ several techniques to ensure stability for your fence:
- Posts are set at least one-third in the ground (e.g. 2' deep for a 6' fence) to ensure the fence stays upright in strong winds.
- Concrete post footings are three times the width of the post for added stability.
- High-quality fasteners and hardware
- Expert engineering for structural integrity
These measures ensure your structure can withstand Vancouver's weather conditions.

Yes, both privacy screens and fences can be attached to your home. We use proper flashing and waterproofing techniques to ensure a secure, watertight connection. We'll assess your specific situation to recommend the best attachment method.
Wood fencing requires regular maintenance to ensure its longevity and appearance:
- Annual inspection to check for warping, splitting, or loose boards
- Regular cleaning to remove dirt, moss, and mildew (typically once or twice a year)
- Periodic staining or sealing every 2-3 years to protect against moisture and UV damage
- Prompt repair of any damaged boards or posts to prevent further deterioration
- Checking for ground contact issues that might accelerate rot, especially after heavy rainfall
- Ensuring proper drainage around fence posts to extend their lifespan
With proper installation and maintenance, our structures can last 15-20+ years. The lifespan depends on several factors including:
- Materials used (cedar, composite, metal, etc.)
- Quality of construction and installation
- Local climate conditions
- Regular maintenance schedule
A privacy screen is typically a more decorative, often freestanding structure that provides visual privacy while maintaining an open feel. A fence is a more substantial barrier that defines property boundaries and provides both privacy and security. Both can be customized to match your home's architecture and landscaping.
For Vancouver's wet climate, we recommend these wood options:
- Western Red Cedar for its natural resistance to rot and insects
- Yellow Cedar for exceptional durability and weather resistance
- Douglas Fir for superior strength and structural integrity
Each wood type offers different benefits in terms of appearance, longevity, and maintenance requirements. We can discuss the best wood choice based on your aesthetic preferences, budget, and maintenance expectations.
