WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT
THE GUY ON 41
Fenceworks (they offer playsets, too!) has been around a long time and really loves the community it serves. Their playset designs are carefully thought out, beautifully constructed, and safe. I've loved working with them and highly recommend.

We had a great experience with Fenceworks! From sales to installation, the process was clear and painless. When the work crew arrived, I thought it would take two days but they finished in a day. The results? A beautiful fence that looks solid, well-installed and totally transforms our backyard!... Totally recommend Fenceworks for your needs!

Jake at Fenceworks has been such a pleasure to work with. The quality and ease of the Hoops Works Basketball System has exceeded all of my expectations. They made the process painless and easy with seamless installation and competitive pricing. It’s a great family owned business, which I am thrilled to support. My Son is loving his new Basketball Hoop!

The process from start to finish with Fenceworks exceeded our expectations. Sandy came to our home and provided us with a thorough understanding of the options on styles of fence, materials and cost. We are thrilled with our fence, which we know will stand the test of time, and know we made the right decision choosing Fenceworks.

They provided amazing quality and service for my client's new yard. Wouldn't have it any other way – Fenceworks is the best around!

Recently, I made an inquiry about updating our old hoop system originally installed by Fenceworks. Jake was great! His responsiveness and service were not only impressive but gave me great confidence. After doing his research he came back to me with several alternatives. His desire to help and his honesty were refreshing! Put me down as a Fenceworks fan!

I am so happy with the work that was completed. Fast, friendly, courteous, and honest. I had a beautiful fence built in my backyard and they worked so hard and quickly. I could not be happier and I will use them for any future projects.

I have bought a basketball net, trampoline, and playset from them and they were extremely responsive and competitively priced. The products they carry are built extremely well and last for years and years. I also love that they are a family owned business and care about their customers.

Amazing experience. My old swing set broke just weeks before my son’s birthday party. I called Jake and within two weeks I had a new swingset in my backyard. He made the entire process as easy as it could be.
