What do you do with a family owned hardware store that is going down the tubes? If you are Donald Rosenbaum, you turn it into a thriving fence contracting business that benefits not only his family but the community.
The history of this business started in the early 1880’s with Adolph Rosenbaum, Donald’s grandfather. Adolph began his career as a tinsmith putting roofs on the local shipyard. He got an idea around 1885 that people needed to be able to easily buy “stuff.” He believed people needed access to nails, shingles, tools and other items to build and repair their homes and businesses, so he started a hardware store.
Donald was very close to his grandfather and began working in the store before he could even see over the counter. After World War II, Donald inherited the business and worked hard to grow it. But times were changing; discount stores, big building supply companies and national chains were taking their toll on the hardware business. Ultimately, he was forced to close his hardware stores. But he decided to continue a sideline business that had been a small part of the hardware business – fence installation.
Joan Rosenbaum, Donald’s widow says, “Fence installation was just a sideline business. He had one elderly man doing the installations. Donald was fond of saying that when he started this business you couldn’t fill a thimble with what he knew about fencing.” Obviously that dramatically changed over the next 30 years. Rosenbaum Fence Company opened its doors in 1966. On the first day, two men who had some experience installing fences showed up looking for work. Rosenbaum hired them on the spot. The Rosenbaum Fence Company was ready for business.

“I had two types of fence put up plus the removal of my old fencing. This team of men were great. Very curious, prompt, answered any questions and cleaned up afterwards each day. I highly recommend this company. I am beyond pleased with my fence. The representative that came out showed me all kinds of options and was very informative about the fences I wanted. My neighbor called and added on with new fence too.”
