Frequently asked questions
- Do I need a permit for a fence in St. Albert, AB?
- Most municipalities in Alberta require a permit for fences over 6 ft tall. Setback rules from property lines, sight-triangle restrictions at corners, and pool-fencing bylaws also apply. Your contractor handles this in most cases.
- Cedar vs vinyl vs composite — what's best for Alberta?
- Cedar weathers attractively but needs sealing every 2–3 years to last. Vinyl is maintenance-free but can crack in extreme cold (relevant in Alberta). Composite is the most durable but priciest. A good fence contractor in St. Albert, AB can match material to your local climate.
- What insurance should a fence contractor carry in Alberta?
- Reputable Alberta fence contractors carry active Workers' Compensation Board (WCB) clearance plus a minimum $2 million Commercial General Liability policy. WiseTrades verifies both before approval. For larger renovations, ask whether your contractor carries Builder's Risk on top of CGL.
