After living at my house for 2 years, I finally decided to build a fence in the backyard. Reason behind it was safety for my kids and privacy. I had a challenge in my hand - On the left side I had a rock garden, slope and unreasonable neighbour and on the other side the garage. I did my research, 3 quotes from contractors including FG Fencing and reached out to my neightbours. Thinking the property line would be the dividing line and my reasons for the fence, it would not be a big deal. Yes it was. I got two surveys, one that came with the house when I purchased it and the other one from my neighbour. He didn't want a fence and was not happy with the idea. I decided to go through with it anyway and built it on my property instead of the property line. Contractor John from FG fencing told me the challenges and the price which was fair and if not cheaper then the other quotes that I got. I went ahead with the built. FG fencing also sent out an email to my neightbour telling him the dates of the construction - something that they suggested, to make sure we are being neighbourly. A couple days prior to the fence going up, I received an email back from my neighbour by him contacting the city of Toronto. You can say that it was quite upsetting. I contacted FG fencing contractor John and he reached out to my neighbour and talked to him. Unfortunately there was nothing he could say to change my neighbours mind in the built. So we contacted the city and responded to the email stating that the fence will now be on my property and will be part of the by laws. The day of the built - the workers came under the hot sun and worked hard and took on the challenge while my neighbour watched. The holes were in. The next day the fence was built. It was a very stressful process to say the least but FG Fencing was very professional throughout the whole process and helped me with my stress. They went over and beyond the call. I recommend FG Fencing to anyone. Especially if they are going through challenges like mine. It was worth every penny.
