For nearly eight decades, we have helped hundreds of thousands of families create homes that are safer, more comfortable, and more beautiful. Our foundation was built on a simple belief: when you combine quality products, expert craftsmanship, and genuine respect for the customer, you create more than a business. You create lifelong relationships. Our story began in 1945 when Henry “Tots” Long founded Long’s Fence Co. in Washington, D.C. From humble beginnings, his vision of hard work, honesty, and exceptional service took root and flourished. In 1948, Henry’s son Robert “Bob” Long joined the company after serving in the United States Merchant Marines. Bob’s leadership transformed Long’s Fence Co. into a household name known for its integrity, professionalism, and quality workmanship. Under his direction, the company, soon known simply as Long Fence, became a recognized and trusted name throughout the region. In the mid-1980s, Bob’s son-in-law, John DePaola, joined Long Fence and quickly rose through the ranks, bringing with him a vision to expand the company’s impact. Recognizing the trust the Long name had earned, John established a home products division and launched Long Windows. By 1994, that division had grown into a separate company called Long Fence and Home, marking a new chapter in the Long family
