★★★★★ 5.0 Dana Harf · Feb 2026

We've used Fenceworks multiple times over the years and cannot recommend them enough! Big fans here! We first purchased our our backyard playground from them, and years later they installed a trampoline for us as well. Both experiences were seamless from start to finish! What really stands out is their continued customer service. They have been incredibly responsive and speedy whenever we’ve needed help, including quickly fixing our basketball hoop when it broke (and this was not purchased from their store as it had come with our house when we bought it). They stay in touch and are always top of mind whenever we need anything related to our backyard. Professional, reliable, and genuinely great to work with. We love Jake and that it is a family business, too. 10/10 highly recommend!

We worked with Fenceworks to pull off the perfect surprise Christmas gift while we were out of town, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. Jake from Fenceworks came out to our home in May/June to help us choose the swingset that would work best in our yard and grow with our kids. We scheduled the installation while we were away, and everything was completed flawlessly. The swingset looks amazing, and the surprise was a huge success—our kids were absolutely ecstatic! We couldn’t be happier with our decision to go with Fenceworks and highly recommend them to anyone in need of a swingset.

★★★★★ 5.0 Carly Friedland Goldstein · Aug 2025

I worked with Fenceworks to have a swing set installed in my backyard. Jake was professional and easy to work with. It was easy to set up the installation with his crew and they arrived right on time. They were communicative and helpful. They even cut some branches from a tree so they wouldn’t be in the way of the swings. Overall it was a positive experience and I highly recommend Fenceworks. My kids love their new swing set!

★★★★★ 5.0 Brian Sundheim · Dec 2025

We researched basketball hoops for a year. Early in the process we met with Jake at Fenceworks and explained exactly what we were looking for and he showed us his products and offered his recommendations. Jake really knows what he is talking about and he never rushed us. There was no pressure and no attempts at up-selling us despite numerous visits to his show room and countless questions. We ended up purchasing a ProView 60 base, backboard and hoop system, that was beautifully installed by Bob who they recommended. Bob is meticulous and has been installing basketball hoops in park districts, schools and municipalities for many years. We appreciate that Jake and Bob are honest, patient and knowledgeable. Our system is top notch and our grandkids could not be happier. I envision them using

★★★★★ 5.0 Jenna Wallis · Nov 2025

We had an amazing experience with Jake and the team at Fenceworks! They installed a beautiful swingset for our kids, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. The workmanship is top-notch, the installation was quick and professional, and Jake was so friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with throughout the process. Our kids absolutely love their swingset, and it’s clear that every detail was handled with care. Highly recommend Jake and Fenceworks to anyone looking for quality work and excellent service
