Join the Best Brand in Fencing
Home Improvement Franchise Opportunities
On average, homeowners spend more than $7,500 per year on home improvement projects in the United States. This includes upgrades made in and outside of homes. More and more homeowners are seeing the importance of increasing the safety, security, and aesthetic appeal of their property. That’s why there has never been a better time to consider a home improvement franchise with Superior Fence & Rail.
Why Superior Fence & Rail is the Best Outdoor Franchise
The home services industry is ripe for the picking. Outdoor franchise opportunities are excellent choices for owning your own business. The difference in owning a fence franchise and other businesses, like a pool franchise or landscaping franchise, is that fences are often a required upgrade. While pool or landscaping installations are popular outdoor home improvements, they are luxury investments. As a Superior Fence & Rail franchise owner, you are ensured a great portion of your clientele will be investing in needed home improvements. A down economy could potentially put a pool franchise or landscaping franchise out of business. Superior Fence & Rail franchise owners have experienced not only sustainable but increased income in negative economic conditions. Whether replacing a worn-down fence, or building all-new, fences are important for home security, as well as the safety of our families. The bonus is that Superior Fence & Rail fences are beautiful, which will reward homeowners with the sense of pride that more frivolous home improvements might provide.

But probably the most appealing reason for joining our team is because our opportunity offers one of the highest returns on investment of virtually any other product or service related outdoor franchise offered anywhere.

About Us
In 2001, our founder, who had no previous background in fencing or construction, brought a fresh perspective to the fence industry when he purchased a small vinyl fence company near Orlando, Florida. After significant growth in its first year, it was clear to him that being a fence contractor represented a fantastic business opportunity. Over the next several years, Superior Fence & Rail expanded to include nine additional corporate locations in the state of Florida. In 2017, our founder along with another Superior Fence & Rail veteran, decided to further expand the business by franchising the proven Superior Fence & Rail System. In less than three months, the company sold its first fence franchise and became the first and only active fence franchise ever developed in the United States. Since that time, we have sold twenty four additional franchises with several markets under consideration for development.
Testimonials
“When I did the analysis of the investment required compared to the income potential…nothing else I had looked at even came close.”
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!
Todd Paroline – Superior Fence & Rail of Brevard County, Inc.
“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 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…It was a seamless transition with the support of the Superior team and infrastructure.”
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!

How We Make Money
Look around and you will begin to notice something…fences are everywhere! Whether it is to secure a property, to give a yard some privacy or to enclose an open pool for safety, people always need fencing. Our industry is fast paced, exciting and profitable.
Installing Fence For Residential Consumers
Homeowners are among the largest individual segment of fence consumers that exist. In 2017, more than 60 percent of the 9.2 billion dollar U.S. fence market comprised residential fence consumers. Whether it is for privacy, security or aesthetics, residential homeowners regularly purchase fence. The next time you drive through your neighborhood, look around and notice how abundant fencing is throughout your community. Our fence franchise opportunity capitalizes on this ever present need for residential fencing by teaching you how to market, sell and install fence to the residential market segment.
Installing Fence For Businesses
Are you looking for a business that generates consistent recurring revenue? Did you know that home builders, pool contractors, landscape architects, commercial building contractors, land developers, hardscape contractors, property management companies and local governments are just some of the businesses that purchase fencing on a regular basis?
In most states, local statutes require that pools must be enclosed with a screen or fence in order to protect neighboring children. Nationally, more than half of all pools will have fencing installed. Home builders and land developers routinely install fences to beautify their neighborhoods and offer privacy to prospective purchasers. Property management companies regularly need fencing for the same reason.
Our fence franchise opportunity teaches you how to effectively market and sell fencing to these types of regular fence buyers.
Selling Fence Material
In addition to installing fence materials to consumers and businesses, we also sell material straight to the customers that prefer to install the fence on their own. Because we are the low-cost producer of fencing in many markets, we also sell wholesale fence to the trades, which includes fence contractors, landscapers, carpenters and handymen.
