Side by side

The honest comparison

Most homeowners are choosing between wood and vinyl, or between chain link and ornamental. Here is the trade in one table.

Relative cost is a guide only. Your exact price depends on linear feet, height, gates and site conditions — that is what the free on-site estimate is for.

Before you choose

Questions homeowners ask us about materials

How much does a fence cost in Omaha?

It depends on three things: how many linear feet you need, which material you choose, and how many gates and corners the yard has. That is why we measure the property in person and give you a written, itemised quote — free, and with no obligation. You will know the real number before you commit to anything.

How does the 20% Fall Fence Sale work?

Book your installation by Thursday, November 26, 2026 and we take 20% off your fence project. The discount is applied to the written quote we give you, so you see the reduced price before you sign. One discount per property and it cannot be combined with other offers.

How fast can you get to my project?

We are booking fall and early winter installs now, and the schedule fills up in order. Booking earlier in the season means an earlier installation date — and it is how you lock in the 20% discount.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. We work with financing partners so you can spread the cost of your fence over monthly payments instead of paying it all at once. Ask about it when we come out for your free estimate and we will walk you through the options.

Do you handle permits and utility locates?

We do. We call 811 to have underground utilities marked before anyone digs, and we pull the required permits for your property. You do not have to make those calls.

Do you repair fences, or only install new ones?

Both. We repair gates, latches, leaning posts and storm damage, and we also add on to existing fences. If a repair is the smarter spend than a replacement, we will tell you that.
