A family-run business in Dalton and Cohutta, Georgia, Protection Fencing stands out by combining trusted fence craftsmanship, caring for their team, and always helping their community.
In North Georgia, homes and businesses need fences that are built to last, keep people safe, and look great, too. Protection Fencing does that—and so much more. Founded by Matt Cobb, this local company is best known for not just their top-quality fences, decks, and doors, but also for the way they treat people. Matt started Protection Fencing after facing tough times and wanting to spend more time with his kids. He had a big idea: build a business that’s honest, where employees are treated like family, and where everyone gets a chance to learn new skills.
Matt Cobb didn’t just want a regular fencing company. He wanted a place where people could build better lives. Instead of keeping workers at the job all day, he allows them time for their families—just like he wanted for his own kids. Matt hires younger people and teaches them skills in fencing and woodworking. “We aren’t only building fences; we’re building people up. Giving young folks a chance to learn is important to me,” Matt says. This mission helps his community and gives team members real choices for their future.
Protection Fencing offers residential and commercial fencing, custom decks, flooring, repairs, and special handcrafted doors. Every job is made to last in the unpredictable Georgia weather and built with care. The company is fully insured, so customers know they’re protected from start to finish.
But what truly sets Protection Fencing apart is its commitment to fairness and kindness. The company offers discounts to veterans and first responders, showing respect for those who serve. “Helping our neighbors and giving back is just part of what we do,” Matt explains.
Many local homeowners and business owners have shared their experiences with Protection Fencing online—and the reviews are glowing.
One customer wrote:
“From the very first phone call, Protection Fencing was professional and friendly. The job was finished on time, and the fence looks fantastic. I would recommend them to anyone in Dalton!”
Another review said:
“Matt and his team did a deck for us as well as a new fence. They cleaned up after themselves and made sure we were happy. Really good work!”
Others add:
“The staff answered all my questions and gave me a fair price without hidden fees. They kept me updated and the finished fence is strong and beautiful.”
A repeat customer noted:
“Protection Fencing helped my parents and then me! Both projects were quick and easy. You can tell they care about doing a good job and making people happy.”
Matt’s love for woodworking is part of Protection Fencing’s story. He crafts custom doors and decks, putting extra care into each project. Every worker gets a chance to learn new skills in a positive environment, so they can build their own futures. Matt says, “One day, I hope my kids will run this business. I want to leave a legacy not just for my family, but for everyone who has worked and grown with us.”
