The coolest thing I have done with my fence company recently: hired an architect full time Does a fence company actually need an architect? Not really. But does it help? 100%! The story: A couple weeks ago, my office manager put in her 2 weeks. She was fantastic for us. I also…
Every year, we take on 1-2 new types of “trendy” fences. I hate custom work. Gross margin is typically low & many we will only do that one time However, some of them become absolute winners for us. Since hardly anyone else knows how to do the trendy fence, we typically don’t…
Needed to have a weird irrigation problem fixed. Called 10 local sprinkler companies: -2 picked up -4 went straight to voicemail -1 texted me 3 days later asking what I needed help with
EZ Schedule updates: -Tool is crushing it for our fence biz. Over the weekend, it scheduled 7 estimate meetings (w/out any interaction from us). Meetings close in proximity were scheduled back to back, with a perfect amount of drive time between meetings. *We also have had a…
The more specific advice/idea someone posts on X, the more actionable I was inspired by a @NeelBParekh tweet about looking at the small expenses of your biz. I spend most of my time working on top line, but I analyzed my last CC statement & found around $500 in recurring monthly…
My first real business failure: Automotive Battery Recycling The story of how two young Ivy League grads went all out. And lost. Our business plan was simple. Buy junk batteries at x. Sell a truckload at 2x. Arbitrage with volume. Random niche? Yes. But we knew a company in…
In the Home Service there are three business models: -General Contractor: Different services, different customers -Specialist: Same service, different customers -Recurring: Same service, same customers The more that is different, the more there is to manage. GC is harder than…
Documenting the journey of building a software biz as a home service guy As a small business owner that fights to make 15-20% net margins, I have always been curious about $0 cost of replication businesses. When I kept running into a headache within my own business that could be…
2-3 years ago I was listening to a @sweatystartup podcast on improving SEO. Went home & wrote a few articles about fences - giving away as much helpful information I could (diagrams, pictures, etc). Hit publish & mostly forgot about it Last year, those articles drove 6,868…
A major reason why we win jobs with homeowners = we have beautiful pictures (builds trust) A major reason why we win jobs from General Contractors = we send bids fast (makes their life easier)
For our maintenance co, we switched from billing on the 30th to the 1st ➡️ collecting our $ 30 days earlier. Honestly I was nervous to do this, but have only gotten push back from 2-3 of our customers so far 🤙 💡Things that are HUGE for your biz may be small for your customers
We get the opportunity to do some really cool custom work - & almost always don’t charge enough for it Note to self and all other contractors: Custom jobs = greater chance of problems + variability in how long it will take to complete ➡️ charge more!

@bluecollarivy I have a fence company and would love to connect.
After a year of prep, Scholastic Capital is under contract on its first home We’re 30min into the inspection, and things are looking great Excited to share the details of the home with our investors! Equally excited to welcome the family that will call this place home!
@bluecollarivy Dude this is one of the best looking fences I have ever seen 👏🏽
@bluecollarivy Going to be unstoppable and reframe the fence market
@bluecollarivy As an Architect (my first license some 60 years ago) one of the worst designed things we always see are fences. From posts set not deep enough, to poor material choices, bad fastener decisions, just lousy looks, poor gate designs and the worst is fences where none are necessary…
@bluecollarivy This is great. So many fences are so unattractive that I've resigned myself to building my own. Lots of opportunity in this space.
@bluecollarivy The content mobile view makes the menu take up 60% of the screen
@PriteshSMB @bluecollarivy I thought the same. It’s so clean
@bluecollarivy Have to say, that is a really freaking nice fence!
@bluecollarivy Love how the fence blends with both buildings. The workmanship is top notch 👌
