Fences, decks & renovations in Mississauga.
Mississauga is home. We're based here, so most of our fences, decks, interlock and renovations are a short drive away. The city runs from older lakeside streets in Port Credit and Lorne Park to the large subdivisions of Meadowvale, Erin Mills and Churchill Meadows, and the work changes with them: tired decks and fences behind 1970s and 80s homes, basement finishing in newer ones.

Local rules
Mississauga permits, in plain English.
Summarised from the official pages below, checked October 2026. Rules change, so we confirm them for your address before work starts.
- Decks
- A deck more than 0.61 m (about 2 ft) above the ground needs a building permit; lower decks generally don't. The city's deck guidance calls for footings at least 1.2 m (4 ft) below finished grade on undisturbed soil.
- Sheds
- A shed of 15 m² (about 160 sq ft) or more, or any shed with plumbing, needs a permit. Smaller storage sheds generally don't, but zoning setbacks still apply.
- Basements
- The city lists finishing a basement to create rooms or living space as needing a permit, along with basement apartments and lowering the floor for more headroom.
- Fences
- No building permit for a typical fence. The fence by-law generally limits rear-yard fences to 2 m and front-yard fences to 1 m (1.5 m if open). Pool enclosures need a permit.
- Renovator licences
- Mississauga licenses building renovators. Requirements include passing an Ontario Building Code exam and carrying at least $2 million in liability insurance.Our Mississauga licence: 26 004817
