Frequently Asked Questions
What types of fencing does Security Fence, Inc. install?
We specialize in commercial, industrial, and residential fencing systems. Our core installations include heavy-duty commercial chain link (galvanized and vinyl-coated), privacy slat fencing, ornamental wrought iron and aluminum fencing, high-security barbed-wire/razor-wire perimeter fencing, sports court fencing, internal warehouse partitions, and temporary construction rental fencing.
Do you handle local zoning, city permits, and utility locates (811)?
Yes. Before any digging begins, we coordinate with Nebraska811 (Diggers Hotline) to mark all public underground utilities. For municipal and commercial projects, we assist clients in verifying local height allowances, setback regulations, and obtaining necessary city permits across Omaha, Lincoln, Fremont, and surrounding jurisdictions.
What is the difference between commercial-grade and residential-grade fence?
Commercial and industrial fences use heavier gauge steel posts (Schedule 40 pipe or heavy square tubing), thicker framework, and industrial-gauge wire or pickets designed to withstand heavy impact, high wind loads, and intense daily security demands. Residential fences utilize lighter, aesthetically focused materials tailored for boundary definition, child/pet safety, and home privacy.
Can you install fences or gates during Nebraska winters?
Yes. While extreme deep freezes can make core post drilling slower, our teams utilize hydraulic core-drilling augers and specialized cold-weather concrete setting methods to install commercial posts year-round when necessary. Furthermore, gate operator service, electrical diagnostics, and custom shop fabrication proceed seamlessly in all seasons.
Which gate operator brands do your factory-trained technicians service?
We are an authorized master dealer and factory-trained service specialist for top industrial and commercial gate operator brands, including Linear / Osco, DoorKing (DKS), LiftMaster / Chamberlain Commercial, Nice / Apollo, Eagle Access, and HySecurity. Our technicians undergo ongoing brand-certified training.
Are project estimates free of charge?
Yes! We provide free, detailed estimates for new fence installations, commercial perimeter projects, automated gate systems, and custom metal fabrication. For on-site repair service calls and electrical diagnostic troubleshooting on existing third-party operators, standard diagnostic trip rates apply.
What geographical areas do you service?
Our primary headquarters is in Cedar Bluffs, NE, with our main warehouse in Mead and our dedicated service facility in Lincoln. We service all of eastern and central Nebraska (Omaha, Lincoln, Fremont, Columbus, Grand Island, Norfolk, Blair, Wahoo), as well as regional commercial projects in Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota, and Minnesota.
What warranty is provided on new fence and gate installations?
We provide a 1-Year Workmanship Warranty on our professional installations. In addition, manufacturer warranties apply to materials, chain link coatings, ornamental powder coating (often 10–20+ years), and gate operator motors/electronics (typically 2–5 years according to manufacturer specifications).
