Gate contractors Markham ON
If you’re looking for a gate contractor in Markham or surrounding areas, you’ll be pleased to know that Markham Fence has been providing the highest quality gate installations for over 10 years, using top of the line materials that are meant to last.
Gates are oftentimes installed alongside fencing, say in the cases of privacy fencing, security fencing or pool enclosure. However, gates can be installed as a freestanding structure in certain scenarios, such as a driveway or garden gate. By far, the most popular question we get from prospective customers is: how much does a gate installation cost? There are quite a few factors that determine pricing, and they include: Size and length: we consider height and length in linear feet when providing an estimate. Customization: prefabricated gates come at a lower price than custom designed and made gates. Material: whatever materials are provided in fencing (i.e wood - cedar or pressure-treated pine, vinyl, composite, metal or chain link), it is also available as a gate). Within each category of material is different quality or classes that can also affect the final price. For example, a cedar gate will cost more than a pressure-treated gate). |

Style: are you looking for a single swing style, a double swing style or a sliding gate? The most affordable of these is the single swing style, but you have to make sure this is appropriate for the surrounding fencing, property and ultimate function.
Extras: let’s take the example of driveway gates. Will it be manual, or automatic? Choosing the automatic drives up the price, but is a popular choice in many homes where the inconvenience of getting out the car to open the gate is less than desired. Security gates are another example, where automation, keypads, cameras, intercom systems, etc. bring the price higher.
So if you’re looking for a price range, you might be able to pay as low as $500 for a simple wooden garden gate, all the way to $15,000 for a large high security or driveway gate with all the bells and whistles of automation and electrical systems.
Another question we overhear is: can I install a DIY gate?
Our answer is, yes, IF you are installing a simple gate that doesn’t prioritize security. The simple garden gate is an example. A caveat, however, is that a structure that’s seemingly simple may actually be a more complicated installation than you realized. If measurements are improperly taken, or the land grading is not taken into consideration, the gate installation may not be secure, safe or stable. This would mean a premature repair or replacement, which ultimately costs more for the property owner.
Markham is a beautiful diverse city that, along with the rest of Ontario, is sometimes subjected to inclement weather conditions in all seasons. You’ll want a gate that provides the necessary strength, stability and security it was meant to have. Markham Fence will ensure that your gate will be installed according to our and your exacting standards and that you will be pleased with our work.
