Parker Fence was started in 1947 by Helen and Roy
Parker. Helen’s grandfather Guy Mafera patented chain link in 1892.
His company American Chain Link Fence developed their own line of
fence products.
Helen
Parker’s father, Fred Mafera, took over the business and became
president of American Chain Link Fence. When he retired Helen and Roy
decided to stay in the installation side of the business and started
up Parker Fence. From 1947 to 1986 Helen and Roy ran the business.
In 1971 their son Fred entered the company as a freshman in high
school. He became a full time employee in 1974 after finishing high
school. When Helen and Roy retired in 1986, Fred and his wife Debbie
bought the business from them.
In 1987 Parker Fence
joined the American Fence Association. The next year Fred became the
president of the North East Chapter, which he held for five years.
Fred then went on to become the national secretary, vice president,
president elect, and finally president in 1999-2000. In 2001 after
his term as president he became a part of the past president’s group,
and is still an active member of the AFA. Not many small companies
can say they have a former president of the AFA as their owner.
Today Parker Fence provides a variety of products
including chain link, iron, aluminum, wood and vinyl fencing. Security
fencing such as
crash
proof barrier arms, turn styles, and bollards are also available.
Parker Fence also specializes in electric gates, operators, access
control systems and service for all makes and models of gate systems.
They now have two warehouses: the main office is located in Groveland
and they just added a new location in Salisbury where they manufacture
all their PVC vinyl fences.
Staying true to the family business, Fred and Debbie’s
three daughters now work for the company. Holly is doing outside
sales, Heather is running the vinyl production and Missy is helping
out with a little bit of everything. Parker Fence
has all the tools
needed to install your fence projects including motorized lifts, power
augers, trenchers, core drills, mag drills, jackhammers, concrete
saws, welders, plus all your typical tools used in fence
installation. In 2007 we will be celebrating our 60th year
in business and our family’s 115th year in the industry.
If you are looking for someone who is going to be around when your
children are in need of repair work, you can count on us.
