"We had an excellent experience working with Alcides Deck and Fence Inc. From the beginning, Gleber was consistently prompt, courteous, and professional in all our email correspondence. Although we initially overlooked the need for a permit, Gleber stood out among the five contractors we contacted—his knowledge and professionalism gave us great confidence in moving forward with the project. Once the permit was in place, we reconnected with Alcides Deck and Fence, and within a couple of days, Évidan visited the site to take final measurements and review the project details. His suggestions—such as upgrading the timber and gates—were thoughtful and aimed at enhancing the overall look of our garden, without any pressure or upselling. We truly appreciate the quality of service, attention to detail, and value for money provided by the team. We would not hesitate to recommend Alcides Deck and Fence Inc. to others. Almost forgot to mention that the garden looks fantastic!"

Yes, invisible fences can function effectively on properties with slopes when properly installed. The key consideration is maintaining consistent signal strength throughout elevation changes. Professional installers can adjust installation depth and transmitter settings to accommodate terrain variations. Special installation techniques may be required to ensure reliable boundary enforcement and pet safety for particularly steep slopes or challenging soil conditions.
Most invisible fence wire repairs cost between $100 and $300, depending on the specific issue. Common repair needs include fixing broken boundary wires, replacing malfunctioning transmitters, or addressing collar receiver problems. Battery replacements represent the most frequent maintenance expense, typically costing between $10 and $50, depending on your system model. Professional diagnosis and repair services help ensure your system returns to full functionality quickly.
Many pet owners find that invisible fencing provides good value compared to conventional fencing options. These systems cost less than physical barriers while preserving property aesthetics and views. Invisible fences also allow flexibility for irregularly shaped properties and can work in areas where physical fencing might be restricted. The effectiveness depends partly on your pet's temperament and consistent training, so consider your specific animal's behavior when evaluating this containment option.
With proper maintenance, most invisible fence systems provide reliable service for several years before requiring significant upgrades. Regular battery replacements and occasional system checks help extend equipment lifespan. Individual components like transmitters or collar receivers can be replaced as needed without reinstalling the entire system. Environmental factors such as soil conditions and climate can affect underground wire longevity, while proper surge protection helps prevent premature system failure.
Regular maintenance expenses include periodic replacement of collar batteries, which cost between $10 and $50, depending on your specific system. Boundary wire repairs might be necessary if landscaping activities or ground shifting cause damage, with repair costs ranging from $100 to $300. System checks are recommended seasonally, especially after extreme weather events. Some owners also invest in backup power solutions or surge protection to prevent system interruptions during power outages.
