The well-known phrase “Good fences make good neighbours” is definitely one that Troy Wilson, owner of Wilson’s Fencing Inc., 16 Hunter Road, Pine Glen, NB, supports wholeheartedly.

Creating beautiful boundaries is what his company is all about. With over 15 years of experience as a foreman for another fencing company as well as having been a heavy equipment operator, Troy has built every type of fence on the market. “Whether it’s a standard wood or chain link fence, vinyl or even custom-made iron, we do the job right the first time as customer satisfaction is our top priority”, says Wilson. “From the initial consultation right down to the last board being put up, we’re focused on providing a fencing solution that the client will enjoy for years to come.”

The most popular fencing for residential housing is chain link followed by pressure treated wood. The actual design of fences can vary depending on the homeowner’s preferences and Wilson is quick to add that knowing the different building code requirements is a must before commencing a job. “While some client’s would love to build a ten foot high privacy fence, we have to adhere to code,” he says with a smile. “This is why it’s so important to obtain the proper permits and discuss options with the client prior to beginning construction. We also do a thorough inspection of the property to assess the lay of the land to take into consideration any grade adjustments or amendments that will be needed before the actual construction begins.”

Wilson’s Fencing Inc.’s is not solely focused on homeowners looking to erect a privacy fence around their property or pool. Wilson also provides commercial fencing to businesses who wish to protect their valuable equipment and buildings. “Business owners usually want sturdy, reliable fences made from heavier gauge chain link fencing, often created due to specifications. It’s not unusual to use galvanized materials on these types of fences.”    

In addition to fencing, Wilson also has their own welding shop where they create works of iron such as custom dog kennels or runs, as well as residential or industrial gates.

Wilson is quick to acknowledge that receiving assistance from CBDC Westmorland Albert played a huge part in helping him realize his dreams, especially when he was in the start-up phase of his business. “The CBDC was instrumental in helping me secure a First Time Entrepreneur loan which allowed me to purchase additional equipment to begin construction. I’m really grateful that they were behind me every step of the way.”

If you’re contemplating creating a private backyard oasis or need your business property protected by fencing, give Troy at Wilson’s Fencing Inc. a call. They’ll get the job done quickly without spending any time ‘sitting on the fence.’
