Top Rail Fence is the fastest-growing fencing franchise in the United States and these four locations will be the first franchises in the Centennial State

DENVER — Top Rail Fence, the on-time professionals in fence design, quality, installation and service, will announce the opening of four Denver area locations at the Denver Home Show at the National Western Complex on March 22-24.

Top Rail Fence Front Range, owned by Tanner and Meagan Tom, will host a ribbon cutting at the home show with the Asian Chamber of Commerce on Saturday, March 23 at 3 p.m.

“We’ve always wanted to run our own business but wanted something that aligned with our interests,” said Meagan Tom. “Eventually Tanner was looking for a career change, and we felt that the support a franchising organization like HomeFront Brands and Top Rail Fence provided offered that change.”

The couple also wants to make a difference in their Denver area community by providing a service that allows homeowners to feel safe and protected while improving their yard’s aesthetics.

“I envision we will be a positive influence in the Denver area, not just at our Top Rail Fence location, but anywhere we go,” Tanner Tom said. “I want to provide the community with a great product and service while giving back to our community.”

Top Rail Fence South Denver owner Christopher Gragg will also use the conference to celebrate the grand opening of his location, and he hopes to create a legacy business.

“Top Rail Fence has provided me with the opportunity to own a business that aligns with both my personal values and business goals,” said Gragg, who has a background in managing internet sales for a major homebuilder. “In the time I’ve spent in the home building industry, I recognized the need for residential fences in South Denver and seized this opportunity.”

In addition to the grand openings of the Front Range and South Denver locations, Top Rail Fence Denver and Top Rail Fence Fort Collins owners Sean Raftery, Stephen West and Pete Montana will also be at the show to introduce their two locations that will open in mid-April.

Owner Justin Green wants his Top Rail Fence West Volusia and Top Rail Fence Daytona Beach locations to provide the area with a sense of comfort and confidence

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Top Rail Fence, the on-time professionals in fence design, quality, installation and service, will announce the opening of two locations in West Volusia and Daytona Beach, Florida, with a ribbon cutting ceremony hosted by the city of Debary at the Debary Golf & Country Club from 4-6 p.m. on Feb. 29.

Owner Justin Green said both new Central Florida locations are dedicated to offering high quality materials with best in practice installation, from highly trained professionals.

“I hope my business will have a positive influence on my community,” he said. “I want to be able to provide my neighbors with security and privacy while giving them a brand they can have confidence in.”

Green said when he and his then fiancée, now wife, decided to sell his home to combine households, their realtor suggested they add fencing to improve its resale value and appeal. His difficulty in finding a dependable contractor to install the fence made him realize how much the Central Florida area needed a professionally run fence company that had a customer-focused approach.

“I come from a family of entrepreneurs, so small business ownership has always been my dream,” he said. “I went through a long discovery process to find the right franchise. But, after my fencing experience and after meeting the team at Top Rail Fence, I knew I’d found the right place. Their leadership and support team instilled the confidence I needed to know this was the right business for me.”

Green is a graduate of the University of South Florida with a degree in marketing and finance. He has spent most of his professional career in sales and management, developing new territories or improving underperforming territories in corporate America. He plans to bring his consultative approach to ensure each customer is completely satisfied with the investment to their property.

“I’m excited to grow a business that is my own instead of someone else’s,” he said. “My overall vision is to build the best fence company in the area, one that puts our customers first. Leaving each property owner confident that their investment with us will provide security and peace of mind for years to come.

Top Rail Fence West Volusia and Daytona Beach will serve the residents of Daytona Beach, De Leon Springs, DeBary, Deland, Deltona, Eustis, Flagler Beach, Heathrow, Holly Hill, Lake Helen, Lake Mary, Orange City, Ormond, Ormond Beach, Pierson, Port Orange, Samsula- Spruce Creek, Sanford, Sorrento, South Daytona and Umatilla.

Owner Andy Deck hopes his fencing company’s reliable service will build a solid referral business and will work to better the community

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Top Rail Fence, the on-time professionals in fence design, quality, installation and service, will celebrate its move into Indiana with a grand opening event at the Adoption Agency of Indiana on Feb. 6 at 4 p.m.

The Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce will be on hand and Top Rail Fence North Indianapolis owner Andy Deck will donate $1,000 to the adoption agency. Deck and his wife are the parents of two adopted daughters.

“I know these agencies struggle for money to help birth mothers through the process and find parents who want to adopt,” he said. “It’s something close to our heart as a family. Our daughters are a blessing, and this is an option more people should look into.”

Deck says he also hopes his Top Rail Fence location will become a force for good in his community.

“I have lived in this area all my life, and I want to make sure we are a trustworthy fencing company that does great work and provides reliable service,” Deck said. “I am excited about the opportunity to start something new here and build my Top Rail Fence location into a business that is known for giving its clients an outstanding customer experience.”

Deck already serves his community as a firefighter with the Indianapolis Fire Department, where he has worked for more than 20 years. But Deck is no stranger to entrepreneurship, either. He co-owned an Alloy Wheel Repair franchise in Indianapolis from 2009-2016.

“Having previously owned my own company, I understand the commitment necessary to make a business successful,” he said. “It’s not something you can take lightly. It requires hard work and determination. I know the friendly people here in the Indianapolis area will welcome this new endeavor and applaud our reliability.”

Deck also worked in sales prior to joining the fire department, and he expects this experience to help him at his Top Rail Fence venture.

“When you work in sales, you end up working with a lot of different types of people,” he said. “This should help me as I build my Top Rail Fence location. I can’t wait to begin working with clients and subcontractors to become a fencing company people will appreciate and refer to their friends, business associates and neighbors.”

Deck is a graduate of Indiana University. He and his wife, Chanda, have two girls, ages 17 and 11.

RICHMOND, Va. — Top Rail Fence Richmond owner Bob Stewart was presented with the prestigious CARES Award at the HomeFront Brand’s inaugural franchisee convention earlier this month for his dedication to the values that define the franchising company’s brand.

The CARES Award, named for the company’s core values of community, accountability, respect, excellence and service, is bestowed upon a HomeFront Brand’s franchisee that has captured the admiration of the company’s other franchisees. The award winner is determined by a vote of the franchisee community at the company’s Homecoming Convention held at its headquarters in the Charlotte, North Carolina area.

HomeFront Brands presented a CARES Award to a franchise owner from four of its most prolific brands, including Top Rail Fence, Window Hero, The Designery and Temporary Wall Systems. Stewart won the award for Top Rail Fence, the on-time professionals in fence design, quality, installation, and service.

“I’m humbled to be chosen as the CARES Award recipient by a vote of my peers,” Stewart said. “It’s always been my goal to provide great service and a high-quality product to my community. I’m grateful to the other franchisees for their confidence in my abilities to meet these goals.”
