This Website - Price vs Value

Yes, we built this website to sell fences but it is obvious that our primary objective is to educate our visitors and customers. Being focused on price is a very big factor for most people but the issues we identify will help everyone understand that there are always trade-offs they make and additional risks they take when they compromise. Please ask us to be part of your decision process.

Our History

After working many years with Mastercraft Fence, and as an early pioneer to modern trends and methods in fencing, Leonard Scofield founded A-1 Fence Company in 1953. From its small base on 4th Street in Santa Ana, the company grew and early-on developed a broad base of local commercial and industrial repeat customers.

The business continued to expand and by the late 1980’s, A-1 had become a regional fencing contractor covering the Greater Los Angeles and Orange county market area. Upon Leonard’s retirement in 1987, Norm Shepherd took over the company and moved it into a new phase with broader product line offerings and professional business management.

By 1990, the company was ready for another step towards new markets, product sophistication and technology. Jim Sypitkowski joined A-1, bringing his previous engineering and marketing skills. Following a number of small acquisitions to broaden its customer base, A-1 further solidified its reputation for quality and service.

In today’s market, with all its economic uncertainties, the A-1 Fence Company team of professional business management, technical capabilities, highly qualified estimators and installation crews are properly positioned to get your job done cost-effectively and on-time.
