The company wasn’t handed down to us, nor would we have wanted it to be. In 2009 we bought it from Brett’s parents, Paul and Trudy, which meant we were financially invested. We already knew our hearts and minds and energy were invested, so the “transaction” of buying the company was the last piece. Our intentions were clear then, and they’re even clearer now. We are preserving Paul Yutka’s legacy while also working hard to leave our own positive imprint on another generation of communities and families we serve.
We will constantly raise the bar for the type of experience we create for our customers and offer product guarantees that are better than any others available in the fence industry. Our company culture focuses on collaboration and continuous learning to support each team member in their personal and professional journey of growth. We aim to do our best each day with our individual talents and create relationships with customers that are rooted in honesty by doing the right thing at all times.
Brett and I met and became friends in high school, but we weren’t high school sweethearts. We attended different colleges but kept in touch. Looking back on it, we always saw something unique in each other that kept us connected. Little did we know, it would eventually lead to us dating at 22 and getting married at 26. I often wish I had more than one lifetime to live with Brett. Since one lifetime doesn’t seem like enough, the way I choose to spend my months and years with him matters deeply. The same is true for Brett. Being business owners and a husband and wife team who work together closely is an uncommon thing, and we are fortunate it works for us. It’s a gift. Setting intentions for our life and our business is energizing, and we discuss it often. At the core of everything is a desire to dream big and create a life for ourselves and our children that is rich with experiences and centered around being good people.
Our three children are growing up in the business, just like Brett and his brother did. While we have no expectations of them taking over the company, we believe the lessons they learn from watching their mommy and daddy run a business will influence their thinking and give them courage to be bold as they set goals and pursue their own dreams and passions. Honesty in life and in business is huge to us. The importance of it can’t be understated. Aside from that one rule of honesty, we like to remind ourselves, our team, and our children that most other “rules” can be questioned. Some of the most amazing adventures Brett and I have had in our marriage are when we challenge rules and norms and choose to do things differently. Pushing past the norm and forging our own unique path is exciting and fulfilling in our business and in our personal lives. We’re constantly on a journey of discovering and becoming more of who we want to be as people and as a company.
If we’re doing things right, our company should be better this month than it was last month. We’re constantly on a journey of becoming more of who we want to be as people and as a company.
MEET LAURIE
I’m a proud mother of two boys and a girl. We always thought we’d have two kids, so we surprised ourselves by deciding to have a third and can’t believe it turned out to be a girl. I cherish the small, seemingly normal moments in life just as much as the huge milestones and celebrations. I love creating family traditions during the holidays. I also like creating small traditions we can look forward to during ordinary times, whether it be our living room camp outs, evening dance parties, or Sunday evening banana “ice cream” treat at home. I sometimes complain about the insane amount of time, research, and effort it takes to feed our family the way Brett and I have decided to, yet it’s one of the things I’m most proud of in motherhood. Eating healthy and being active isn’t a guarantee for anyone, but we’re doing our best to stack the odds in our favor.
Material things and brand names have never been important to me because I’d rather spend money on experiences, specifically traveling. My exchange program in junior high with a family in Mexico City and my year-long study abroad in Madrid during college had a major impact on my life and made me realize what I’m most passionate about. I love learning about new cultures, hearing and learning other languages, exploring new places without a definite plan, and seeing how people live around the world. After we spent four months in Italy and Spain in 2012 with our two boys, we decided to find ways to incorporate longer stays in other countries into our travels going forward. Life is beautiful to me, and I’m grateful for all the little things in my life that have impacted me in different ways to eventually lead me to the place I’m at right now.
We take great pride in delivering exceptional service and superior craftsmanship. Read through these testimonials to get a glimpse of how we have transformed outdoor spaces and provided reliable solutions for our customers.
Every fence project starts by us getting an understanding of how a new fence could enhance the beauty and functionality of your outdoor space. During our free estimate, you’ll meet with one of our fence professionals at your home to discuss your budget, style preferences, and vision for the project. We’ll give you a quote that same day because we’re just as excited as you are to get started and make your vision a reality!
You’re ready to move forward with your project, and we’re here to guide you every step of the way! Your time is valuable, so we do the work of checking your municipality’s online database for a plat of survey for your property, calling Diggers Hotline to mark your underground utilities, and in many municipalities, we can even obtain your fence permit for you.
At Yutka Fence, we believe in a meticulous approach to every project we undertake. We understand your wishes for your fence project may have changed slightly since the time of your initial estimate. For that reason, we go one step further than the typical fence company by scheduling a comprehensive in-person layout meeting with you once you’re ready to move forward so we can review all aspects of your project and stake the location of your fence. We believe our detailed layout meeting is the best way to give you peace of mind and ensure your installation is executed with precision and professionalism.
We know you’re curious about the status of your job and you deserve to be informed along the way. Our Progress Tracker gives you updates throughout the process as you approach installation.
This is the big day! Installation begins on your project. If you’re home upon completion, our Foreman will walk the yard with you to ensure you’re completely satisfied with our work.
After your installation is complete, we call you to ensure we’ve met the project expectations described in your contract. We love happy customers and want to make sure you’re one of them!
