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.
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.
With over 30 physical locations, hundreds of employees and millions of feet of fence installed each year, our name is one of the most recognizable fence brands in the United States. Our compelling fence franchise system includes innovative proprietary technology, robust sales and operational training, and support and some of the strongest purchasing power in the industry. 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.

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.
We currently have several protected fence franchise territories available in Florida as well as other parts of the United States.

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.
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.
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.
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.
