In most Omaha metro communities, yes—a fence permit is required before installation. Permit requirements, height limits, setback rules, and HOA regulations vary by city, including Omaha, Papillion, La Vista, Gretna, Council Bluffs, and surrounding areas. Currently, the City of Bellevue, Nebraska, does not require a permit for most residential fences, although homeowners must still comply with the city's fence regulations and zoning requirements. The good news? Done Right Fence handles the permit process for you whenever one is required. We'll verify local codes, obtain the necessary permits, and help ensure your new fence meets all applicable city and HOA requirements before construction begins.Can you remove my old fence?

Yes. We perform repairs on fences damaged by storms, wind, age, accidents, and general wear. Our services include replacement of damaged posts, panels, gates, and hardware components.How long will my new fence last?
Fence longevity varies based on material selection. Wood fences typically last 15 to 20 years with appropriate maintenance. Vinyl fences last 25 to 30 years or longer. Aluminum fences endure for 30 years or more. Chain link fences last approximately 20 to 30 years. Consistent maintenance helps extend the life expectancy of any fence type.Do you install privacy fences?
Yes. Privacy fences represent one of our most requested services. We install wood, vinyl, and composite privacy fences that improve security and create a secluded outdoor environment.What is the meaning of I DRIVE POWER SYSTEMS™?
I DRIVE POWER SYSTEMS™ is Done Right Fence's premium installation system that pneumatically or hydraulically drives steel posts deep into undisturbed soil instead of setting them in concrete. The result is a stronger, cleaner, and longer-lasting fence with less yard disruption, hidden steel support, and the confidence that it's "Done Right the First Time."What is the pool code in the Omaha metro area?
Pool code is a set of local safety requirements designed to help prevent unauthorized access to swimming pools. In the Omaha metro area, most residential pools that are 24 inches deep or deeper must be enclosed by a code-compliant barrier. For in-ground pools, the fence must be at least 5 feet 7 inches tall. Qualifying above-ground pool barriers must be at least 48 inches tall. Openings in the fence must be small enough that a 4-inch sphere cannot pass through, and all gates must be self-closing, self-latching, and swing away from the pool. If your home is part of the enclosure, any doors leading directly to the pool must meet additional safety requirements, such as alarms or self-closing, self-latching hardware. Pool code requirements can vary slightly depending on your city or county, so Done Right Fence will help ensure your new pool fence meets the applicable local requirements before installation.What is the best fence for dogs?
The best fence for your dog depends on their size, breed, and activity level. For most homeowners, a 6-foot privacy fence is the top choice because it prevents climbing, jumping, and distractions from outside the yard. Vinyl and cedar privacy fences are durable, low maintenance, and provide excellent security. For smaller or less active dogs, aluminum or chain link fencing can also be great options while maintaining visibility. At Done Right Fence, we can help you choose the right height, spacing, and gate configuration to keep your pets safe and secure. We also recommend our I DRIVE POWER SYSTEMS™ installation for a stronger fence foundation that stands up to active dogs and Nebraska weather.What is the difference between vinyl and wood fencing?
Both vinyl and wood fences are excellent choices, but each offers unique benefits. Vinyl fencing is low maintenance, won't rot, warp, or require staining, and maintains its appearance for years with minimal upkeep. It's an excellent choice for homeowners looking for long-term durability and a clean, finished look. Wood fencing offers a natural, timeless appearance and can be customized with different styles, heights, and stains. While it requires periodic staining or sealing to maximize its lifespan, many homeowners prefer the warmth and character that only real wood can provide. At Done Right Fence, we install premium Country Estate Vinyl and high-quality cedar wood fencing using our I DRIVE POWER SYSTEMS™ installation method. No matter which material you choose, you'll receive a stronger fence foundation, expert craftsmanship, and a fence that's "Done Right the First Time."Is Done Right Fence fully licensed and insured?
Yes! Done Right Fence is fully licensed and insured for your peace of mind. We carry the appropriate insurance coverage to protect our customers, employees, and your property throughout the installation process. When you choose Done Right Fence, you're hiring an experienced, professional contractor committed to quality craftsmanship, safety, and doing the job "Done Right the First Time."
