Check out our About Us page to learn about Bedrock Construction and our core values.
Our Core Values Make all the Difference
Our core values were established back in 1991 and were derived from Corrie Massie’s experience as a tile setter.
Much like laying tile, square by square, a successful renovation requires:
1. the tiles to follow a design (organization)
2. the tiles to be spaced and levelled (meticulous)
3. the room to be prepared (clean)
4. the tile setter to complete the job according to specification (accountability)
“Bedrock is more than trades people….they are artists. I have had Bedrock do two bathroom renovations and they re-tiled my basement too, helping shake off some serious seventies vibes across the board. If you need a design collaborator and a skilled company to work with Bedrock is the company to hire.”

FAQ
How Much Does it Cost to Build a Fence in Calgary?
Prices for fences in the City of Calgary vary greatly, as you would expect. It could be a brand new fence, or a tear out and rebuild, and either way, there is a substantial amount of nuance to each job .
Having said that there is a rough guide we can use based on the type of material that you want for your fence. Typically you are going to be in the $2000 - $8000 dollar range for the average home in Calgary with an average fence. Each different kind of material like cedar, wood, metal, chain link or iron will make the price a little different. Typically the more expensive the material, like wood, and the more custom the design the higher the price.
How Much Does it Cost to Replace a Fence in Calgary?
This will depend on a couple of things.
- What is the reason that the fence is being replaced? If it is just aesthetic then that will help the budget. If the fence is failing because of a shifting yard issue, that may require additional treatment for the new fence.
- What is the removal plan for the old fence?
- What are the materials and finishing designs for the new fence?
This is not a complete list, but it is a few of the questions that will affect the budget on replacing an old fence with a new one.
Do you need a Permit to Build a Fence in Calgary?
Typically a permit is required if any of these conditions apply:
Fence:
- In the rear yard, it is higher than 2m (6’-6”)
- In the front yard, it is higher than 1.2m (4’-0”)
- Inside a corner visibility triangle, it is higher than 0.75m (2’-6”)
- The gate is higher than 2.5m (8’-2”).
In most situations, a fence doesn't need a building safety approval (building permit). If your design or location does not meet land use bylaw specifications you will require planning approval (development permit).
You can get more information from the City of Calgary Website. Bedrock Construction is also qualified to help you with the entire process, including the information you need to make sure you get the permits you need should you need one.
When Is a good time to Start the Project in a City like Calgary?
Typically a good time to be outside doing this type of work is in the summer. Spring can definitely work, but we still see thawing and ground movement during this time.
What is the Cheapest Fence to Install?
Sometimes people just want the simplest solution. In this case, typically PVC fencing is the cheapest way to go. It also provides a durable solution for your fence.
Will my new Fence affect my Property Taxes?
Typically property taxes are calculated on square footage and the average house price of your neighbourhood. Modest upgrades like a new basement development, a new deck and a new fence dont' raise the property taxes. They do however significantly increase your curb appeal and sale price.
What are the Calgary Fence Options?
There are a number of different Calgary fence options, and making the right choice is critical when it comes to your home and your style.
- Chain Link Fences - These types of fences are very budget-friendly, and they do provide solid security. you can also see through them, which for some who have kids playing in the park next-door can be a requirement for their fence. For others the lack of privacy is a deal breaker, and although there are privacy options with various additions to the fence some people opt for a different style.
- Vinyl Fencing - Vinyl fencing is a great choice for people who really want privacy and still need to watch the budget. These fences (vinyl fences) are great for design-conscious people as well because you can get a lot of different styles and colours. Vinyl Fences also provide the opportunity for change down the road as you can paint them. Vinyl fencing could be a great option for families with kids as well, fence builders will tell you that your new fence will increase your curb appeal for the safety and ease of use for kids.
- Wood Fences - Wood is a classic fence type, and the preferred type of fence for many people. The look and style of wood is second to none (Fences Calgary). Upkeep becomes the only downside, as you will have to repaint the wood or replace it at some point. Experience fence builders like bedrock will use the best fence materials that are available on the market, but wood is wood and will require up keep.
