If you are planning a composite fence in Greater Montreal, the first question is usually simple: what will it cost installed? The honest answer is a range. Price depends on your yard, your layout and the system you choose. This guide gives market ranges from third-party sources, explains what moves the price, and shows how to get a reliable quote.
Quick Answer: Market Ranges Per Linear Foot
One Quebec cost guide lists composite fencing at about $85 to $155 per linear foot installed. EVODEK, a Quebec composite company, reports a similar $85 to $155 range depending on material quality and installation costs. These are market figures, not Fidar prices. Fidar Clôture does not publish fixed prices because the final cost depends on a site visit and the details of your project.
Key Takeaways
- Quebec sources cite roughly $85-$155 per linear foot installed for composite fencing.
- Budget 150 feet at about $12,750-$23,250 as an estimate only.
- Gates, difficult excavation and old fence removal are usually extra costs.
- Verify permit, height and pool rules with your municipality before building.
- Measure your yard, note gates, take photos, then request a free quote.
What Market Sources Say
- Quebec: roughly $85-$155 per linear foot installed, according to a Quebec renovation cost guide.
- Ontario: an Ontario contractor guide lists composite at about $65-$100+ per linear foot, which shows how much prices vary by region.
- One Montreal-area installer: lists an approximate installed price of $25.99 per foot for a specific system, with a note that it is approximate and requires a custom quote.
That last figure is a useful warning. A single advertised price per foot rarely reflects the full picture: system type, height, structure, gates and site conditions can change it a lot. Treat any headline number as a starting point, not a budget.
Ask every contractor to itemize gates, removal, excavation and post depth separately. Quotes that bundle everything into one per-foot number are hard to compare fairly.
Example Budgets for 100, 150 and 200 Linear Feet
Using the Quebec guide range of $85-$155 per linear foot, here are rough estimates only:
- 100 linear feet: about $8,500-$15,500
- 150 linear feet: about $12,750-$23,250
- 200 linear feet: about $17,000-$31,000
The same guide notes that gates, difficult excavation and removal of an old fence are extra. Add those items to your mental budget before comparing quotes.

Composite vs Wood, PVC, Aluminum and Chain Link
The Quebec guide gives these installed ranges per linear foot for several materials. Chain link was not part of that comparison, so ask contractors for current local pricing if you are considering it.
| Material | Installed price per linear foot (Quebec guide) | Main trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Composite | $85-$155 | Higher upfront cost, low maintenance |
| Wood | $20-$70 | Lower upfront cost, needs staining and upkeep |
| PVC (vinyl) | $55-$100 | Low maintenance, fewer wood-like looks |
| Aluminum | $45-$150 | Durable, often more open design |
| Chain link | Ask for a local quote | Functional, minimal privacy |
For a deeper look at the wood comparison, read our article on is composite fencing cheaper than wood.
Keep the 20-year manufacturer's warranty and the separate 5-year installation warranty documents together, and confirm in writing what each one covers.
What Drives Your Quote
Height and length
More linear feet and taller panels mean more material and more posts. Longer runs can lower the cost per foot in some cases, but not always.
Layout and corners
Each corner, step or angle adds cutting, posts and labour. A simple straight line is cheaper than a yard with many changes of direction.
Terrain and slope
Sloped yards may require stepped or racked sections. Rocky or compacted soil makes digging harder, and the guide above flags difficult excavation as an extra.
Access, soil and frost depth
Tight access limits equipment and slows work. In Quebec, posts must be set to resist frost heave, so soil conditions and post depth matter for long-term stability. Ask your installer how they plan for frost.
Gates and openings
Gates require extra hardware and reinforced posts. Pedestrian and wider vehicle gates are priced separately from the standard run.
Old fence removal
Taking down and disposing of an existing fence is usually an added line item. Confirm whether it is in your quote.
Colour and style
The finish and the specific system you choose can change the material cost.
Professional Installation vs Material-Only Purchase
A material-only purchase covers boards and components. A professional installation adds layout, digging, post setting, assembly and finishing. When comparing prices, check that each quote states clearly what is included, so you are comparing the same scope. Fidar Clôture provides both supply and installation of composite fences in the Montreal region.
Why a Higher Upfront Price Can Pay Off
Composite does not need staining or repainting the way wood does, and it is designed for durability in our freeze-thaw winters. Over time, saved maintenance can offset part of the higher initial cost. See our guide on how long composite fences last for more detail.
Fidar Warranties
Fidar composite fences come with a 20-year manufacturer’s warranty on the product, plus a separate 5-year installation warranty. These are two different warranties covering different things, so ask for the written documents when you receive your quote.
Five Finishes to Choose From
Fidar’s premium composite fencing is offered in five finishes: black, dark gray, light gray, dark brown and light brown. You can start by viewing the black composite fence product page.
Permits and Bylaws
Rules on fence height, setbacks and pool enclosures differ between municipalities such as Montreal and Laval. Before building, check your municipality’s official rules or contact its permit office. Do this before you finalize your design so that the quote reflects what is allowed.
How to Get an Accurate Quote
- Measure the lengths of fence you need, including corners.
- Note where gates should go and what width you want.
- Mention whether an old fence must be removed.
- Take photos of the yard, slopes and access points.
- Choose your preferred finish and height.

Conclusion
Market sources point to roughly $85-$155 per linear foot installed for composite in Quebec, but real pricing depends on your yard. Gather your measurements, check local rules and request a detailed quote so you can compare like for like.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a composite fence cost per linear foot in Montreal?
A Quebec cost guide lists composite fencing at about $85 to $155 per linear foot installed. Actual pricing varies with height, terrain, gates and the system chosen, so a site-specific quote is the only reliable figure.
How much would a 150-foot composite fence cost?
Using the $85-$155 Quebec range, 150 linear feet would be about $12,750-$23,250. This is an estimate, and gates, difficult excavation and old fence removal are typically extra.
Is composite fencing more expensive than wood?
Upfront, yes. The same Quebec guide lists wood at $20-$70 per linear foot installed versus $85-$155 for composite. Composite needs less maintenance, which can narrow the gap over time.

Do I need a permit to install a fence in Montreal or Laval?
Requirements depend on your municipality and may cover height, setbacks and pool enclosures. Check the official rules or contact your city's permit office before building.
Are gates and removal of the old fence included in the price?
Not necessarily. Market guides treat gates and old fence removal as extra, so ask for them to be listed separately in your quote.
