![]() In today's uncertain economic climate, including rising interest rates, inflation, and the effects of the US-Canada trade war, many homeowners in Newmarket and across York Region are feeling the financial squeeze. Material costs are going up, supply chains are still recovering from pandemic-related disruptions, and hiring contractors can feel like a gamble. But at Newmarket Fence, we're proving that quality work doesn't have to come at sky-high prices. We've worked hard to build a reputation as one of the best fencing companies in Newmarket and York Region. Our focus on value, durability, and customer service is what sets us apart. And despite the economic pressures, we're still offering fair pricing and premium quality fences that stand the test of time. How Tariffs and the Economy Are Affecting Construction Tariffs between the US and Canada, especially on lumber and steel, have had a ripple effect on construction and fencing projects. In fact, prices for some common building materials have increased by as much as 30% over the past couple of years. Combine that with inflation and rising labour costs, and the average cost of home improvement has gone up significantly. But here's the thing: we anticipated this. And we planned for it. How Newmarket Fence Keeps Prices Competitive Our team at Newmarket Fence took several proactive steps to make sure homeowners like you aren't stuck footing the bill for rising material costs:
These steps allow us to keep our pricing competitive, while still delivering the best value and craftsmanship in town. A Real Story: Helping a Homeowner in a Tough Spot Just last fall, we had a homeowner in Newmarket call us after getting a quote from another fence company that was well beyond their budget. They lived in an older subdivision near Davis Drive, and their aging wood fence was falling apart. With kids and a dog in the backyard, it was becoming a safety issue. We visited the site, listened to their concerns, and recommended a pressure-treated wood fence that would offer great durability without breaking the bank. Thanks to our bulk buying and streamlined installation process, we were able to offer a price that was 20% less than their previous quote. The result? A beautiful new fence, peace of mind for the family, and a project completed on time and on budget. They were thrilled and even referred us to their neighbours, who ended up booking with us too. That kind of word-of-mouth means everything to us.
