Fencing Contractor in Stark County Ohio with $1,726,211 Revenue
Business Description
Asking $2,490,000 with $865,351 in 2025 Seller Discretionary Earnings and $642,461 Normalized Across Multiple Years.
Revenue reached $1,726,211 in 2025, up from $630,881 in 2020. Gross margin held at 58.4% across that expansion, so added volume converted into earnings rather than absorbing them.
The company installs fence for residential and commercial customers across Stark County, Ohio and the surrounding market. Work is sold as discrete project contracts rather than recurring service agreements, and each job is billed on completion. Installed pricing in the area runs $15 to $25 per linear foot for chain link, $25 to $35 for wood privacy, and $35 to $45 for vinyl. The business prices inside that range at every product tier.
Field operations run on a hybrid labor structure. 1 full-time employee and 2 part-time employees handle core installation and administration on payroll. Subcontracted crews absorb the spring and summer demand peaks, so headcount does not carry through the winter months. Materials, subcontractor payments, and leased equipment make up most of the direct project cost, which keeps the cost base moving with revenue instead of sitting fixed.
A buyer acquires the active project pipeline, the subcontractor network built for seasonal scaling, the customer records behind $1,726,211 in 2025 volume, and a cost structure already tested across 5 years of growth. Real estate is not included in the sale. The buyer negotiates a new facility lease directly with the property owner, which leaves the operating location open to selection within the service area.
Stark County carries an estimated 2026 population of 374,302. The national fencing installation market is estimated between $13.7 billion and $20.4 billion in 2026, growing at 3.3% to 5.4% annually, with contractors holding roughly 78.8% of the installation channel. This business grew 174% over 5 years against a category growing in the low single digits. That gap represents share taken from other operators rather than category lift.

About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 14
- Employees
- 3 (1 Full-time, 2 Contractors)
1 manager - Facilities & Assets
- The company was incorporated in 2012 and has operated in the Stark County market for 14 years.
- The operating model settled into its current form as project volume scaled, with a small payroll crew handling core work and subcontracted crews carrying seasonal load.
- Revenue moved from $630,881 in 2020 to $1,726,211 in 2025, a 174% increase across 5 years and a compound annual rate of 22.3%. Earnings tracked revenue upward across the same period.
The 2024 to 2025 window produced the largest single-year movement in both figures.
- The business enters the market with 14 years of operating history, 2025 gross margin of 58.4%, and a labor structure that has already absorbed a near tripling of volume without proportional payroll growth. That track record transfers to the buyer at closing.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The Canton and North Canton fence contracting market is fragmented. Competing firms range from operators active since 1974 to recent market entrants, and no other single competitor holds dominant regional share. That structure means no incumbent controls pricing and no entrant has consolidated the county.
Installed area pricing runs approximately $15 to $25 per linear foot for chain link, $25 to $35 for wood privacy, and $35 to $45 for vinyl. This business operates inside those bands while growing 174% over 5 years, against a national category growing 3.3% to 5.4% annually. Contractors hold approximately 78.8% of the national installation channel, which is estimated between $13.7 billion and $20.4 billion in 2026. - Opportunities for Growth
- - Summit County to the north holds roughly 540,000 residents and Wayne County to the west roughly 117,000, against 374,302 in the current home county. Both sit inside normal drive time for the existing crews and require no additional equipment or permanent staff.
- The subcontractor model converts added volume into margin without permanent payroll. Every incremental job is absorbed by contracted crews at a variable cost, so revenue growth does not require the buyer to fund headcount in advance.
- The Canton and North Canton competitive field is fragmented, with no operator holding dominant share. Acquiring or absorbing the book of a retiring single-truck operator adds volume at a lower cost than organic customer acquisition.
- Temporary construction site fencing draws on the same chain link inventory and equipment already in use and bills on a rental basis rather than a one-time install, which puts revenue into the winter months that residential installation leaves open.
