Join the Best Brand in Fencing

Eric Stanbra was the third franchisee of Superior Fence & Rail.  After a successful career in medical device sales, including as a regional vice president of sales for a large medical device company, Eric wanted a change. He was ready to spend less time traveling and wanted to be closer to his family. He also felt that he could successfully lead his own business and generate wealth for himself and his family instead of generating wealth for others.  Eric has utilized his leadership training from the United States Military Academy at West Point, his on-the-ground experience from deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan and his successful career in medical sales to build his franchise using the proven Superior Fence & Rail system.  Eric has already experienced immense success in the development of his franchise business and is looking forward to continued success while providing a valuable service to more customers every day.

Andrea and Gary purchased the very first Superior Fence & Rail franchise in Ft Myers, Florida.

Their focus on giving each customer the best experience possible has paid off.  To date, they have earned hundreds of online published reviews with an average of 4.9 out of 5 stars. They are truly wonderful ambassadors of Superior Fence & Rail.

Ralph Barden and Dustin Taylor began their careers with one of the corporate Superior Fence & Rail locations in Jacksonville, Florida.  After advancing through the ranks in Jacksonville, they decided that they wanted a new challenge and decided to open a Superior Fence & Rail franchise on their own.  Their knowledge of the Superior system was so vast and they executed it so well that one of their roles at the corporate location was to actually train and support new franchisees in the Superior system. It is no surprise that they had immediate success with their first franchise location, and then opened up a second franchise location less than a year later. 

For Doug and Venise Czerwonka, the fence business is a family affair.  After serving as a successful Chief Human Resources Officer in the corporate world, Doug was looking to find a successful franchise model in order to control his financial future. Because the franchise territory where Doug and Venise had already been taken, they were open to moving to a new city to open their Superior Fence & Rail franchise.  After evaluating several possible locations, they chose Nashville, Tennessee. Doug performs management functions and also serves on the front line as one of the company’s sales consultants. Venise focuses on the day-to-day operations while their daughter and son-in-law also assist in various aspects of the business. The Czerwonkas are enjoying growing their business organically at a pace that ensures they meet or exceed their aggressive profitability goals while building an asset to sustain their family financially for years to come.

I had been working in a large corporate job when I decided that I would never have the financial security I desired if I continued along that career path. I had initially been looking at purchasing an independent business when I found the Superior Fence & Rail opportunity. The fact that I had no prior fence experience whatsoever caused me some initial concern but after speaking to some of the existing team members and learning about the Superior System, I felt confident that I could be successful using their framework. But the main reason I took the leap is because when I did the analysis of the investment required compared to the income potential of the business, there was nothing else I had looked at that even came close. That was almost 10 years ago!

I was one of the few early members of the Superior Fence & Rail team who actually had prior fence experience. I had always been a pretty good operator, having been involved in fencing since I was a young man, but my prior fence company still struggled. Once I joined on with Superior Fence & Rail in 2009, it allowed me to tap into a proven system that had already been successful, and to take advantage of incredible material pricing based on their cumulative purchasing volume. The result was immediate profitability, and that was in 2009 when the construction market was extremely soft! Simply put, Superior Fence & Rail allowed me to focus on my strengths as an operator while giving me the system and the tools to allow my business to grow. I would strongly recommend the Superior Fence & Rail opportunity to anyone who is looking to gain financial independence for a relatively modest investment.

In 2008 I decided to move from the UK to the USA and to seek out potential business opportunities, After a lot of research I found Superior Fence & Rail. After due diligence I found that the investment seemed very lucrative, and I was especially interested because of it being a visa approved business. I moved over in late August 2009 and hit the ground running, The business had all the necessary vendors in place and agreements with industry leading suppliers, which enabled me to concentrate on expanding and growing the business. It was a seamless transition with the support of the Superior team and infrastructure. I am very happy to be part of the Superior Fence & Rail team!
