- Family-owned and operated since 1977. Nearly 50 years of continuous Blankenship family leadership distinguishes Bayonet from franchise operators and recently formed LLCs competing in the same service area.
- Clermont headquarters serving all of Lake County. With a physical office on Hatteras Avenue, Bayonet is a true local operator rather than an Orlando-area company treating Clermont as a secondary market.
