Our History

Florida Fence and Deck is proudly owned by native Tallahassean, Jay Kelly. Starting in the 1990s as a fence builder, Jay worked his way up through every position in the company before becoming President in 2001 - and eventually acquiring the business from founder and mentor, Ted Strauss, in 2007.

Deeply rooted in the Tallahassee community, Florida Fence and Deck actively supports several local charitable organizations like United Way, Boys Town, and Big Bend Hospice. Environmentally-friendly practices are also integral to our values; we utilize eco-friendly materials and disposal methods whenever possible.

With more than 30 years in operation and a team of dedicated employees, Florida Fence and Deck is synonymous with quality craftsmanship, fair pricing, and personalized service. Our growth is fueled by referrals, a testament to our commitment to excellence.
