Love that Fenceworks is family owned and offers seamless customer service. We bought a trampoline from them in 2006 and after our 4 children outgrew it, the trampoline moved to our neighbor's house, and now we just bought a new safety net and the trampoline is moving to our daughter and son-in-law's house for their kids to enjoy. Thank you for the personalized customer service and for sticking with us and the trampoline three homes later.

Do I need an on-site consultation for a fence in Chicago?

Yes. Chicago properties often have unique layouts, alley access considerations, elevation changes, and tighter lot lines that are difficult to evaluate remotely. An on-site consultation allows us to measure accurately, review conditions in person, and recommend solutions that fit your property correctly from the start.

What type of fence works best for Chicago homes?

The best fence depends on your goals, maintenance preferences, and property style. Wood fences remain popular for privacy, vinyl offers a lower-maintenance option, and aluminum fencing works well for decorative applications and front yards. During your consultation, we help compare materials based on durability, appearance, and long-term use.

Can you install playsets and basketball hoops too?

Yes. Fenceworks provides full-service installation for playsets, basketball hoops, and trampolines in addition to fencing. We help families choose the right products for their space and professionally install everything so the setup is done correctly from the beginning.

How long does a typical fence installation take?

Most fence installations are completed within a few days, depending on the project size, material, and property conditions. After your consultation, we provide a clear project timeline so you know what to expect throughout the process.
