Business Description
Profitable and efficient with a great reputation!
This well-established residential fence contracting business has been serving an affluent portion of the San Francisco Bay Area for nearly 40 years. Specializing in the new construction and repair of redwood fencing and gates, the business built its strong reputation on high-quality workmanship, reliability, and competitive pricing. Known for delivering projects as promised, it has earned consistent referrals and repeat business from both homeowners, HOAs and property managers.
While the owner has operated the company in a part-time, semi-retirement capacity in recent years, he remains involved in estimating and job oversight.

The current business mix is approximately 75% residential homeowners and 25% HOA/property managers. Typical job sizes range from $1,500 to $2,000.
With a solid reputation and operational foundation, this business offers significant growth potential. Expansion opportunities include forming partnerships with landscapers and general contractors, boosting online presence and SEO, and scaling operations geographically by adding more crews. The owner is selling due to full retirement, presenting a turnkey opportunity for a new owner to build on a trusted name in a thriving market. Seller financing may be available for a very well-qualified buyer.
