Exterior
Fencing, decking, concrete and more — for homes, strata buildings and commercial properties across Surrey and the Lower Mainland, built around local weather and bylaws.
Fix Up House handles exterior work from our Surrey shop across the Lower Mainland — see our full list of service areas, including Burnaby, Langley, Coquitlam, Vancouver, Richmond, Delta and White Rock. Fencing and decking are a large part of what we do year-round, alongside concrete, windows, exterior doors and custom carpentry. We work for homeowners, strata corporations and commercial properties, with written scopes, photo documentation and current coverage information available when a client or vendor review requires it.
Lower Mainland weather is hard on exterior materials — fences and decks here deal with a lot more moisture cycling than most of the continent, so material choice and proper drainage/flashing detailing matter more than they would in a drier climate. We factor that into what we recommend, not just what looks good on day one.
Every exterior project starts with a walkthrough and a written quote — for strata work that includes photo documentation and an estimate detailed enough for council review. Once approved, we schedule around weather windows where relevant (concrete and some coatings are weather-dependent) and keep you posted as work progresses.
While the list below is comprehensive, don't hesitate to reach out if there's something specific you need that isn't listed — get in touch to discuss your exterior project and we'll ensure your property looks its best.
Exterior renovation FAQ
- Do you work outside Surrey, like in Burnaby or Langley?
- Yes — we accept fencing and decking enquiries from Burnaby, Langley, Coquitlam, Vancouver, Richmond, Delta and White Rock. We confirm availability after reviewing the address and scope, with project-specific logistics disclosed in the written estimate.
- Which exterior jobs typically need a permit?
- It varies by municipality and project. Fence height and setback rules and deck-height permit thresholds differ from city to city across the Lower Mainland — we check the applicable bylaw for your address during the walkthrough rather than assuming one city's rule applies everywhere.
- How does Lower Mainland weather affect exterior work timing?
- Concrete pours and some coatings are weather-dependent, so we schedule around forecast windows rather than fixed dates. Fencing and decking can generally proceed in most conditions, but we'll flag it upfront if a specific job has weather constraints.
- Do you work with strata councils on exterior projects?
- Yes — exterior work (fencing, decking, building envelope items) is a large share of our strata business. You get before/after photo documentation and a detailed estimate suitable for council review.
