“You guys dug up my waterline on Fitzwilliam St. today. Tonight when I returned home from work I had a look at the job. Good work! The driveway you had to dig up looks great. You were here when you said you would be. You got the job done. The price was reasonable. I will have no hesitation recommending you to friends or calling you back if I need your services again.”

“I hired Maxx Contracting to construct an Allan Block series of landscaping walls. It is gorgeous, and the workmanship was outstanding. I would not hesitate for a second to hire them again.”

“Working with Brandon at Maxx Contracting was an excellent experience that I highly recommend. He was responsive, professional, and transparent. His quotes are very competitive. Brandon and his crew showed up early and worked late to get our project done on schedule and on budget. We hired them to to construct an 8 foot engineered lock block retaining wall. This involved a huge excavation that was done cleanly and efficiently. We were struck by the painstaking care that was taken to ensure the wall was straight and level. Afterwards, we had Brandon and the crew renovate a gravel driveway, re-grade a yard, dig some trenches, and do other small jobs - all while we were out of town on vacation. Brandon sent frequent photos and texts, called me daily, and ensured the work was done properly despite our not being there. If you need any excavation projects done, big or small, give Brandon at Maxx a call. They simply get it done!”

“We recently had the pleasure of working with Maxx Contractors for our front landscaping project, which included the construction of a beautiful three-tiered Allan Block wall. Brandon and his crew were exceptional throughout the entire process. They demonstrated extensive knowledge, a strong work ethic, and the utmost professionalism in every aspect of the job. The end result exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t be happier with our new front yard. We highly recommend Maxx Contractors for anyone seeking top-notch craftsmanship and reliable service.”

“I'd like to take a moment here to rave about the fantastic experience I had with Brandon and his team. We used this company's services for a backyard overhaul. The first time Brandon came by for an estimate, I was so impressed by his thoughtful questions and attention to detail to make sure that he understood exactly what I was looking for. On our first meeting he even showed photos of the various rocks he offers to make sure I would be happy with the colours, sizes and textures. Throughout his time working at our home he was polite, showed up on time, worked incredibly hard and had fantastic communication skills. His whole crew was a joy to work with. I threw so many curve balls at Brandon and his team with many new ideas they hadn't tackled before. Nevertheless, they rolled with every idea and blew the execution out of the park! I am so captivated by how they transformed our space in only 3.5 short days. I could not recommend this company more highly for hardscaping/landscaping or backyard renovations! Thank you Brandon and team!”

FAQ

Questions about fencing

What types of fences do you install, and which is best for privacy?
We install wood and cedar, vinyl/PVC, chain-link, and ornamental/aluminum fencing, plus gates. For privacy, a solid cedar or vinyl board fence is the usual choice. Vinyl costs more up front but never needs staining, while cedar is budget-friendly and can be left natural or finished.
What does fence installation cost in Nanaimo?
Cost depends on the fence type and height, the length of the run, the terrain (slopes and rocky ground take more post work), and the number of gates. Chain-link is typically the most economical; cedar and vinyl privacy fences cost more. We give you a clear, itemized quote after a free site visit.
Do I need a permit, and are there height rules for fences?
Most residential fences do not need a building permit, but the City of Nanaimo and other local jurisdictions set maximum heights (often lower in front yards) and rules near corners and driveways for sightlines. We build to the local bylaws and help you confirm what is allowed.
How long does a fence take to install?
A typical residential fence is a one-to-few-day job once materials are on site and locates are done, depending on length, terrain, and the number of gates. We give you a realistic timeline with your quote.
Do you install gates and do commercial fencing?
Yes. We install swing and sliding gates and handle both residential and commercial fencing, including security and chain-link fencing for businesses, lots, and job sites.
