Last month marked 50 Years of Fencing from Professional Fence Co. That's 50 years of building fencing, relationships, and our community with integrity and purpose.

In 1976, Kim Rash set his first posts, nailed his first pickets, and stretched his first chain link. Millions of linear feet of fence later, we've had tens of thousands of projects, hundreds of employees, 4-AFA Awards, 3 owners, and 1 sustainable concept to provide expert fence installation for our customers.

50 Years in Fencing is no joke. As our vision of large scale projects takes us forward, it stems from several bold decisions made years ago that have compounded into growth down the road.

When Bob & Brenda Osmer purchased Professional Fence in 2001, they abandoned the residential space entirely to strictly pursue commercial and industrial work. 25 years later, that decision is still foundational to how we pursue business in the markets that we currently do.

When Matt O’Brien purchased Professional Fence in 2022, a clear vision was set: to double down on commercial fencing by pursuing larger-scale projects while continuing to strengthen the relationships that have always been at the heart of our business.

Over the years, we've collected commemorative bats to mark significant milestones and projects. This month, we were honored to receive a special addition from John Anderson of EOS Worldwide in celebration of our 50th anniversary.

Every bat on our wall tells a story, but this one represents decades of them—stories of challenging projects, protected facilities, trusted partnerships, and, most importantly, the people who made it all possible.

For 50 years, Professional Fence has grown because of incredible employees building lasting relationships with incredible customers. As we celebrate this milestone, we're grateful for the legacy behind us and excited for what lies ahead.

Here’s to the next 50 years of fencing, partnerships, stories, and building something that lasts.
