Attention to detail, professionalism, and thoughtful recommendations were just a few of the reasons why Buddy DeGannero was impressed with Reliable Fence.
DeGannero noted that the finished product, which included a smooth transition from a six-foot fence to a four-foot section and a solution for a grade contour on his property, resulted in a visually cohesive and functional outcome.
Thanks to Reliable Fence’s expertise and care in design, the final result, he said, was “very appealing.”
That level of service and craftsmanship is not by chance. According to Deven Iannone, current owner of Reliable Fence, those very qualities—attention to detail, professionalism, and thoughtful planning—are at the heart of what his father, Joe Iannone, envisioned when founding the company.
“Those things that DeGannero said are the very standards that Joe Iannone had when he started his company,” Deven explains. “That gold standard is that very standard that Reliable Fence operates, functions, and lives by.”
This philosophy continues to guide the company’s work today.
“It’s very, very simple,” Iannone says. “What would I want at my home or my business? The quality, innovation, and trust that Big Joe pioneered has been ingrained in all of us.”
The company's mission extends beyond fence installation. It's also about giving homeowners peace of mind. Whether protecting children, pets, or aging family members, Reliable Fence places safety at the center of each project.
That commitment begins with the consultation process, which typically lasts between 45 minutes and an hour and a half. These meetings are essential for setting expectations and ensuring every aspect of the project is customized.
For pet owners, those recommendations are based on understanding the animal's specific behavior and lifestyle. Iannone takes time to ask targeted questions about the pet’s size, temperament, and energy level.
“From that information, we’re then able to make suggestions, recommendations, and design the correct enclosure or design the fence correctly for your pet’s needs,” Iannone says. “Everybody’s dog is different. You have to think like a dog, just like you would have to think like a criminal for security.”
Children’s safety is also a major concern. Reliable Fence begins by asking families what their specific safety concerns are.
“These questions include the needs of the family themselves and answering the overall question of what are we keeping kids safe from,” Iannone explains, “whether it may be keeping children from getting into a backyard pool or just making sure they remain in the backyard, it all starts with that consultation period.”
From structural elements like fence height and the removal of sharp edges, to fine-tuned decisions like latch placement, every detail is intentional.
“We also want to make sure that they are not going to be in an area that's easily accessible for children," Iannone says.
That level of care comes from treating customers with compassion and respect.
Iannone says that many of the customers he has feel like family, which is why safety is such a big concern of theirs, and why they go above and beyond to protect those their customer loves.
“Everybody’s home is different,” he says. “Fencing is not a one-size-fits-all solution.”
