Opinions about hoops installation by THE GUY ON 41

Jake and his team do great work. A year + ago we had them install a basketball hoop for our Highland Park house, they did a fantastic job. So much so, when we moved in 2026 to a new home, we contacted them and had them install a hoop at the new house. They are prompt, fair, and just generally great to work with. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend using fenceworks! Jake and team were excellent to work with. My kids love their new basketball hoop and I’m excited for all the fun times they will have playing with it.

I purchased a basketball hoop from Fenceworks in 2024. The purchasing and installation process was seamless. The customer service from Jake was top notch. Glad I purchased from Fenceworks.

Do you install both wall-mounted and in-ground basketball hoops?

Yes. We professionally install both wall-mounted hoops and in-ground systems. During your consultation, we’ll help determine which option is best for your space, play style, and long-term goals.

How long does basketball hoop installation take?

Wall-mounted systems are typically completed in a single visit.
In-ground hoops require concrete anchoring and curing time before full assembly, which we coordinate for proper structural integrity.

Do you provide the hoop, or can you install one I purchased?

We offer premium basketball systems and can also install approved customer-supplied hoops. We’ll confirm compatibility and safety requirements during your consultation.

How deep do you install in-ground basketball hoops?

In-ground systems are anchored in concrete according to manufacturer specifications to ensure long-term stability, proper alignment, and safe play.

What backboard size should I choose?

Backboard size depends on available space and level of play.
Common sizes include 54", 60", and 72" tempered glass options. We’ll help you choose the right fit during your consultation.

Can the hoop be adjusted in height?

Yes. Most systems we install feature adjustable height ranges — typically from 7.5’ to 10’ — allowing players of all ages to enjoy the game.

Do you offer warranties?

Yes. We stand behind our installation with a lifetime limited labor warranty, in addition to manufacturer equipment warranties.

Do I need to be home during installation?

Yes. We recommend being present for installation and final walkthrough to ensure placement, height adjustments, and positioning meet your expectations.

How much does basketball hoop installation cost?

Pricing depends on the system type, mounting method, and site conditions.
We provide clear, detailed quotes with no hidden fees after your consultation.

Do you service all of Chicagoland?

We install basketball hoops throughout Chicagoland and surrounding suburbs. Contact us to confirm service availability in your area.
