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.
