76 FENCE is expanding its presence in West Georgia with new franchise locations in Douglasville and Newnan, led by entrepreneur and longtime resident Matthew Skuodas. With more than three decades of experience in corporate BPO and IT operations, Skuodas brings a people-first approach and a commitment to community engagement that he believes will set the business apart.
“I've called West Georgia home for nearly 20 years, and I’m excited to introduce this brand to the community,” Skuodas said. “This business is about more than fences. It’s about building trust, creating opportunities, and delivering solutions that homeowners can depend on. From the first consultation to the final installation, our focus is on making the process simple and stress-free.”
Skuodas is supported by Georgia Regional Developer Carl van der Horst, who has been instrumental in cultivating the brand’s growth across the Metro Atlanta area. He praised Skuodas’s leadership and deep local ties, noting that Douglasville and Newnan will benefit from his commitment to both quality and customer care.
Ed Samane, chief executive officer of 76 FENCE, echoed that sentiment, emphasizing that Skuodas embodies the franchise’s core values. “Matthew represents the type of leadership that ensures long-term success. His dedication to community engagement and excellence in service will help strengthen the brand’s position in the region,” Samane said.
The expansion underscores 76 FENCE’s growth strategy in emerging markets, combining the strength of a national brand with the authenticity of local ownership. For homeowners, the openings offer a reliable service rooted in professionalism and guided by a genuine investment in community well-being.
As 76 FENCE enters Douglasville and Newnan, the brand’s focus remains on delivering craftsmanship that lasts and relationships that endure—an approach that reflects both its franchise model and Skuodas’s personal vision for West Georgia.
