Built by Jorge.
Trusted by Lincoln.
Rio Fence Co. isn't a national chain or a franchise. It's a Lincoln-owned business, started by Jorge Hernandez in 2017, built one job at a time on quality work, fair pricing, and the kind of communication you wish you got from every contractor.
Started in 2017.
Built One Fence at a Time.
When Jorge started Rio Fence Co. back in 2017, the goal was simple: do fence work the right way and treat every customer like a neighbor. Lincoln didn't need another contractor cutting corners. It needed someone who showed up on time, used quality materials, and stood behind the work.
Seven years and hundreds of fences later, that's still the playbook. Rio has installed cedar privacy fencing across every Lincoln neighborhood. We've built commercial perimeters for businesses, dumpster enclosures for property managers, and ornamental aluminum for homeowners who want curb appeal without compromise. The customer base has grown, the crew has grown, but the standard hasn't changed.
Today, Rio Fence Co. is one of the most reviewed and best-rated fencing contractors in Lincoln — 25 five-star Google reviews from real Lincoln homeowners and businesses, and a steady stream of work from referrals and repeat customers.
Meet Jorge Hernandez
Jorge is the face and the hands behind Rio Fence Co. He's the one who shows up to your property for the estimate, walks the layout with you, and personally manages every project. There's no sales rep, no project coordinator, no chain of command between you and the person actually responsible for your fence.
That model is intentional. Big fence companies use commission salespeople and revolving subcontractor crews — which means the person who quotes the job is rarely the person who installs it, and the person who installs it doesn't have to live with the result. Rio is different by design. Jorge does the estimate, Jorge runs the install, and Jorge is on the other end of the line if anything ever needs follow-up.
Outside of the fencing world, Jorge is a Lincoln resident, husband, and dad. The reason "treat every customer like a neighbor" works as a business model is simple: most of his customers actually are his neighbors.
Four Things That Don't Change.
There's no shortage of fence contractors in Lincoln. Here's what we do differently.
Communication You'll Actually Notice
Calls returned the same day. Texts answered fast. Updates throughout the project. Most of our 5-star reviews specifically mention this — because most contractors don't do it. Communication is the cheapest way to be different, and it works.
Quality That Lasts the Lifespan
Posts set to proper depth. Quality lumber and materials. Galvanized steel posts available where it matters. Tight gate alignment. Clean finish work. The difference between a fence that lasts 8 years and one that lasts 20 is almost entirely in how it was built.
Honest, Up-Front Pricing
Free written quotes with line items so you understand what you're paying for. No "surprise" change orders unless something genuinely unexpected happens (and even then, we tell you before we proceed). The price you see at quote is the price you pay.
Local Accountability
Rio is a Lincoln business. Jorge lives here. Our reputation depends on every Lincoln neighbor being happy with the result. Need follow-up a year later? We're 20 minutes away — not 100 miles, not "out of business." That changes everything.
We don't just build fences. We build properties our neighbors are proud of — and reputations we work hard to protect every single day.— Jorge Hernandez, Owner
