The AFA has a rigorous certification program that recognizes individuals that have demonstrated an ongoing commitment to quality products and improving standards within the fence industry. A Certified Fence Professional (CFP) will have a good understanding of specifications, product quality and installation techniques that will help assure a first-class product for the consumer. A CFP must meet a continuing education requirement as well as industry service requirements to maintain this certification.
Look for the CFP designation on business cards, letterheads, and web sites. Discuss material specifications with your fence sales associate or project manager to assure that you are getting the appropriate materials for your job.
