Who needs a fence in East Windsor New Jersey?

admin — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 15:39:20 +0000

My family does, we have a large yard and need about 500 feet or 63 eight foot sections. I have gotten about 4 different quotes

$7900
$8400
$10,000
$19,000

The last one was a home depot quote, the company that came in with the $10,000 bid I feel very comfortable with. Old guy new his stuff and took the time to teach me a bit. The problem is I don’t want to pay $10,000 for a new fence in this economy. I thought that by reaching out the residents of East Windsor NJ I might be able to fine other citizens in need of a quality fence this summer. If anyone out there is in the market for a fence please contact me and lets by in bulk. I hope to get at least 10 other households.

East Windsor On Facebook

Someone has built a Facebook group for East Windsor New Jersey (It was not me). According to the bio info on the profile page it is a local real estate agent Paul Camuto (See Below) www.paulcamuto.com

“As a Weichert Real Estate Agent focused on Mercer County, I am always looking to network with other who share my common interest. Please join me – so that we can help to keep our community a fun, safe and enjoyable place to live and work.”

Looks like this group just started (only 30 members) but it has great potential. More of our local business should start building their brands online and using different platforms to network with the community. Nice work Paul
