Editorial Review
Our Take on Wallace + Wallace Fences and Doors
Wallace + Wallace brings 80 years of Winnipeg fencing, its own chain link production and a clear explanation of how it sets posts in clay. Its 4.5 rating is the lowest here, and some reviewers describe slow estimates and subcontracted crews, so get the schedule and warranty in writing.

Company Background
About Wallace + Wallace Fences and Doors
Wallace + Wallace Fences and Doors is the old hand of Winnipeg fencing. The company says it has been building fences in and around the city since 1946, and today it runs a manufacturing, supply and installation operation from a warehouse at 90 Lowson Crescent in the Tuxedo industrial area. Its fencing division makes chain link mesh in Winnipeg and sells it to other installers across Manitoba, and the same yard rents temporary fencing and installs automated gates. A sister division, Wallace Doors, handles garage and overhead doors.
For homeowners, the residential menu covers chain link, wood, vinyl, ornamental and welded wire fences, pool fences, dog kennels and runs, specialty gates and privacy inserts. The FAQ explains why the company drives steel posts 36 to 42 inches into the ground with a hydraulic pounder rather than setting posts in concrete: Winnipeg clay holds water, and frost pushes concrete piles up over the years. Some yards need posts as deep as six feet. Steel posts can be clad in wood for a traditional look or upgraded to black powder coat, and wood posts are still available on request.
The installation page is unusually plain about the fine print. Wallace + Wallace books the Manitoba Hydro and BellMTS locates a couple of weeks before the job, asks you to mark private lines such as sprinklers, and warns that hand digging or hydrovac work near utilities adds cost. It takes a 50 percent deposit and charges the balance to your card when the job is finished, then sends a copy of its warranty. The company does not mark property lines, so the fence line is your responsibility.
Google shows 4.5 from 214 Google reviews, read November 10, 2026. Reviewers praise a Privacy Plus fence put in by two installers who stayed more than 11 hours to finish, crews who call before they arrive, and an installer named Colin. One reviewer says the crew that built their chain link fence was a subcontractor, and a 1 star review describes a wrong estimate and months of calls before anything moved.
Wallace + Wallace suits homeowners who want chain link, wood on steel posts or a gate from a company with a long record and its own supply. It suits less well anyone who needs fast turnaround on a small repair in peak season. Before booking, ask for the warranty terms in writing, whether your crew is in-house or subcontracted, and proof of WCB Manitoba coverage and liability insurance.
