Riverside Fence

What Riverside Fence does

Riverside Fence is a family-owned custom fence manufacturer and installer headquartered in Ridgefield, Connecticut, serving residential, commercial, and municipal customers across Fairfield County and Litchfield County, Connecticut and Westchester County, New York. Founded in 1991 and acquired by Rob and Nancy Kaye in December 2006, the company designs, fabricates, and installs a broad catalog of fence styles — including cedar privacy, wrought iron, chain link, aluminum, deer, bamboo, cable rail, and pool-code-compliant fencing — alongside adjacent outdoor structures such as pergolas, driveway gates, boardwalks, custom tree houses, and greenhouses.

Core production occurs at the company's Wilton, Connecticut workshop, where all wood fencing is manufactured in-house, enabling last-minute customization and quality control. Differentiated technical features include tongue-and-groove privacy construction with routed decorative trim, steel-reinforced PVC/vinyl privacy fencing to prevent sagging, and a high-tensile deer-fencing system using 12.5-gauge wire at 200,000 psi yield strength — materially stronger than conventional fencing wire. The company holds Home Improvement Contractor licenses in Connecticut (#614438) and Westchester County, NY (#WC-18696-H07) and offers lifetime warranties on vinyl and aluminum products and a two-year labor guarantee.

Go-to-market is a direct field-sales model offering free at-home estimates with project-based, quote-driven pricing and consumer-financing options. Distribution is regional, scaled across roughly 27+ towns and supported by local SEO service-area pages. Revenue combines professional services (design, installation, repair, maintenance) with hardware and materials supply. Riverside was recognized on the Inc. 5000 list in 2013 with 136% three-year revenue growth and ranked #1 in construction in Fairfield County; the company has since expanded its product surface into "Special Projects" categories and entered a strategic partnership with Salem Fence ("Salem × Riverside: Stronger Together") to extend wrought iron and metal-fencing capabilities.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Cedar Fence Supply Company: Specialty supplier of cedar fence materials and DIY-friendly product kits. Comparable in product focus (cedar fencing) but competes on materials/supply side rather than installation services — represents a DIY substitution risk for Riverside's lower-end projects.

Others

• Houzz Pro / Houzz Fencing Contractors: Home improvement marketplace where Riverside itself maintains a professional listing. Serves as a customer acquisition channel for fence contractors and an indirect competitor/aggregator for premium residential work.

Direct peers

• Salem Fence: Strategic partner of Riverside Fence per the 'Salem × Riverside: Stronger Together' initiative. Salem expands iron/metal fencing capabilities for Riverside and operates as a complementary regional fence contractor with overlapping CT/NY service territory and similar custom installation services.
• Campanella Fence: Connecticut-based fence contractor offering residential and commercial installation in overlapping CT counties. Direct regional overlap with Riverside's Fairfield/Litchfield territory and similar custom installation GTM.
• The Fence Authority: Regional fence contractor in the Mid-Atlantic offering custom residential and commercial fence installation with comparable product breadth (wood, vinyl, aluminum, chain link). Mirrors Riverside's value proposition around professional installation and customization.
• Frederick Fence Company: Long-standing regional fence contractor serving Maryland/Virginia/West Virginia with in-house manufacturing, custom wood fencing, and commercial/residential installation — closely analogous business model to Riverside with similar family-owned, in-house production heritage.
• Northland Fence: Residential-focused fence installer serving the Twin Cities with a similar SMB-segment go-to-market of custom fence design and turnkey installation. Comparable in operating model and target customer (homeowners seeking privacy/security fencing).
• Privacy Fence Solutions: Regional fence installer focused on residential privacy, semi-privacy, and decorative fencing — similar product mix and target customer to Riverside's core offerings in cedar, vinyl, and aluminum.

Broad incumbents

• Superior Fence & Rail: One of the largest U.S. fence installation contractors operating across multiple states with standardized processes and significant marketing scale. Compares to Riverside on core activity (fence installation) but competes on geographic breadth, brand spend, and operating leverage rather than custom craftsmanship.
• Home Depot Pro / Home Depot Fence Installation: National big-box retailer that connects homeowners with vetted fence installation contractors and bundles fence materials with installation. Competes with Riverside on lead generation and price transparency, particularly for commoditized fence styles.
