The Witt Way: How It All Started in Tampa

The Humble Beginnings of Witt Fence

The early days of Witt Fence were marked by early mornings, long days, and countless lessons learned. We relied on yellow page advertising because that’s all we could afford—and sometimes, even that was a stretch. But we never wavered on one thing: paying our vendors and doing right by our customers.

That mindset—putting the customer first, no matter what—became the backbone of our local Tampa fence company. We kept going, no matter the obstacles.

Why Tampa?

Why base our business in Tampa? Simply put: we love this city. Tampa is the best in the country, and we’ve watched it grow, evolve, and thrive. There’s a certain energy here that inspires hard work and pride in what you do.

As a local Tampa fence company, we’ve had the privilege of meeting incredible people—homeowners, builders, and business owners alike. Every fence we install is more than just a job; it’s an opportunity to connect with our community and contribute to the city.

Doing Business in a Growing City

Of course, Tampa isn’t the same city it was when we started. With more traffic and more people moving in every day, managing customer expectations and staying flexible with schedules has become key. But what’s stayed the same is our commitment to making sure every customer has a great experience—from first phone call to final post set.

We’re proud to be part of a community that supports small businesses like ours. Being a local Tampa fence provider means we’re not just building fences—we’re building trust, one yard at a time.

A Family Business Through and Through

Witt Fence is more than a company—it’s a family. I never expected my son to join the business, and I certainly didn’t push him toward it. But watching him take the reins and grow it in new ways has been an awesome experience.

He brings fresh ideas and energy, while staying true to the values we’ve held from day one: honesty, dependability, and treating every customer like they matter—because they do.

What Sets Witt Fence Apart?

Our customers often tell us they’ve collected 4–6 estimates before deciding on a contractor, but they choose Witt because they feel comfortable with us. They know we’re honest, we’ll show up, and we’ll get the job done right.

That kind of trust doesn’t happen overnight. It comes from decades of doing things the right way, even when it wasn’t the easy way.

A Legacy of Listening and Learning

Even though my son now leads the company, I’m always here offering advice behind the scenes. And he teaches me, too. One of the biggest things we emphasize is listening to our employees—they’re the ones out there every day, seeing what works and what doesn’t.

At the end of the day, we know that if Witt Fence doesn’t build the fence, someone else will. That’s why we never take a single job—or a single customer—for granted.
