About the American Fence Association

When shopping for a new fence, the expertise and credibility of the fencing company are vitally important. The American Fence Association (AFA) serves as the gold standard in this regard, ensuring that consumers and businesses connect with fencing companies who meet the highest standards of professionalism, ethics, and quality.

Paramount Fence: A Proud Member

As a long-time member of the American Fence Association, Paramount Fence brings quality fencing products and services to their Chicagoland clients. When you choose to work with us, you’re not just getting a fencing company, you’re getting AFA-backed professionals that adhere to industry-leading standards.

A Brief History of the AFA

Founded in 1962, the AFA has evolved to become the largest and most comprehensive resource in the fencing industry. Originally organized as the International Fence Industry Association (IFIA), the AFA started with just 22 members, and held its first trade show in Anaheim the same year. Membership expanded steadily and the association now has over 1400 member companies, 19 chapters across the U.S., and a presence in 18 foreign countries. 

The AFA Mission

The AFA aims to benefit both industry professionals and consumers by promoting the highest levels of professionalism and ethics. AFA members have an average of 22 years of experience in the business, ensuring superior technical and installation skills for all projects.

Membership Obligations

Every AFA member company agrees to a code of conduct, emphasizing ethical advertising, compliance with local, state, and federal laws, and consumer-focused service. From sound accounting practices to continuous training and research, all members are committed to upholding the integrity of the fence, deck, and railing industry.
