First Impression Fencing: Professional Fencing Company Serving Newark, OH 43055

Meet the Team

First Impression Fencing in Newark, OH, is a locally owned business founded by a carpenter who learned the trade from his friend Mike Obert in 2004. After Mike passed in 2014, he opened the company to honor that mentorship and now passes those same skills to his own sons. The team specializes in fences, gates, decks, and railing, handling everything from custom builds and automatic gates to repairs, staining, and weatherproofing. For over a decade, they’ve focused on delivering solid craftsmanship and making sure customers are truly satisfied. If a project isn’t right, they go back and make it right. Based in Newark, they serve neighborhoods near the Licking County Courthouse, Dawes Arboretum, and along Route 16. They also help homeowners tackle common local fencing issues—weather wear, shifting soil, and gate alignment—with practical repairs and durable materials. It’s a family-run shop that treats every job like they’re building for a neighbor.
