Strong Fence, LLC
Cleanest record on the board to date. Full identity captured (Walt named, street address at 479 Manatawny Street Pottstown, LLC visible, 610 local PA, real website with work-photos, quote already in flight), narrow stated scope (gate replacement only, not automation or grid). Geography satisfies Dan's criterion: Pottstown PA is ~40 mi from New Hope, outside Bucks but travels to Bucks. Only blocker is BBB pending. Once that clears + Google reviews skimmed, this becomes an engagement-ready contractor.
Strong Fence's homepage doesn't list automation or cattle grids — and that matches what they're scoped for here. Work photos confirm they install gates as part of fence projects, but the motor / electrical / control surface (key-fob, keypad, app) is a separate-contractor question. Cattle grid likewise — different vendor.
Out of scope for Strong Fence: gate automation, power trenching, cattle grid. Those slots on the front-gate record stay open for other vendors.
