Opinions about fence installation by THE GUY ON 41
Got multiple quotes for our new privacy fence in the back yard. Fenceworks was not only competitive with pricing, (and surprisingly reasonable), but also most importantly - They had the best ideas and options, confidently answering all of my (MANY) questions as to logistics. I knew I’d “like” whatever they did, but I am blown away as to the end result (all of which happened in one day!) far exceeded my expectations. [We do have a small Chicago yard, but can’t believe this was all done in a day, still.]To say I am happy and would recommend this company to others is an understatement!(5/8/25) - Fenceworks had put a “gate”/door in as part of our fence: It looks great, but…weather and settling happen, so it was difficult to open the door after several months. I called Fenceworks to mention it, and LITERALLY they came out the NEXT day and slightly altered it. It’s been working perfectly ever since. Again, highly recommend going with this company if you’re thinking about installing a fence.

I really can't say enough great things about Fenceworks! They always treat you with respect, honesty, and transparency. Regarding your next Fence project, look no further than "The Guy on 41"! I will be back this spring for Basketball Hoops, Trampolines, and Playgrounds... excited to complete my backyard with Fenceworks running the show!

When it comes to a Fence instillation.. there is no better company in the north shore/chicago that I would recommend more than Fenceworks. They truly care about each customer like their family. I was informed every step of the way, true transparency throughout. Pricing was fair and competitive, and the craftsmanship was truly amazing. I look forward to buying a playground, trampoline, and basketball hoop this spring to wrap up all my home improvement projects in the future!
