Update 5/3/2026 Nick, Jason, Alex, and Ryder all did an excellent job putting in a Garden Fence as well as a Trellis to hang our bird feeders and plants from. From start to finish the work was performed as expected and the communication was excellent. Thanks Perfect Picket!We had a few challenging aspects to consider when planning for the fence we wanted to have installed. Nick was very knowledgeable and offered several solutions to fit our needs and completed the project exceeding our expectations. The smarter half and I are more than willing to offer a recommendation!

Working with Nick and his team was great. They explained the work they were going to do thoroughly along with pricing and giving options for size and materials to use. Always gave a heads up when they were on their way. My dogs are enjoying being able to run free! Highly recommend for your fencing needs!

Perfect Picket was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The whole process was very easy and the fence is very high quality. Nick came and gave us multiple options to fit our space. Once we decided what worked best for us he sent us the amount and got the instillation scheduled. A short time after a crew came and installed the entire fence in a day. Super easy and hassle free. I would absolutely recommend Perfect Picket to anyone needing a fence.

Nicholas and his team were fantastic from the first phone call. I felt incredibly informed from start to finish - from a video walkthrough of the estimate through to final installation. It was great to be kept in the loop on the whole process. The work was professional, thorough, and tidy. Would definitely recommend Nicholas and his team!

Perfect Picket helped me to create good solutions for my unique fencing needs. They had excellent communication throughout the process: weekly email updates, text messages and in person during the installation phase. The fences look beautiful and the doors operate smoothly! Thank you Nick, Jason and the crew!

I had the opportunity to connect with Nick while getting quotes for a fencing project, and I was genuinely impressed.He was extremely professional, transparent, and clearly takes a lot of pride in doing things the right way. What stood out most was his integrity. He gave a fair, straightforward quote right from the start and took the time to explain everything transparently. It was obvious he was equally interested in meeting goals, expectations, and building a relationship as he was the actual work itself. He took videos explaining goals and the project, and saves them for reference.I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for fencing work.

Perfect Picket Fence and Stain built an extraordinary fence for us. The entire process was one of the most positive customer experiences I’ve ever had. The fence is of the highest quality. The crew was extraordinary in their work, leaving the worksite clean. The crew was generous in their interactions with us. They treated our annoyingly friendly dog kindly. When I sought modifications “on the fly,” they accommodated us completely and happily. We are bombarded with neighbors’ comments like “what a great fence,” and “that fence is so distinctive.”

I can't emphasize enough what great customer service we received from Nick and his team at Perfect Picket Fence and Stain.We installed an unfinished cedar cap and trim fence around our entire backyard. It is so wonderful to step into the backyard and have complete privacy while I'm gardening or drinking my morning tea. Then, you add the wonderful scent of the natural cedar...pure bliss!So, not only are we happy with the finished result, but we are amazed at the care and consideration given to us when an issue came up months after the installation. Our landscaper accidentally bumped and cracked one of the facing boards. I sent a text/photo to Nick explaining the situation. He responded promptly, stating he would be happy to replace it at no charge! Say what?!!This is the best of the best companies for customer service, bar none!If you are on the fence, (pun intended😊), about which company to choose for your fence installation, look no further. You've found the best in Perfect Picket Fence and Stain!Thank you Nick! You are SO appreciated!

Perfect Picket Fence completed exceptional work in installing our privacy fence along with a new entrance gate to our backyard. They were on time, efficient, and the work product has a great appearance from both sides. They left the worksite picked up with zero mess. I would highly recommend their services.

The most respectful and professional group of guys. From the initial estimate and planning the way through the final day, their communication was absolutely wonderful. They even sent weekly updates so I always knew where our job was on the list, which I really appreciated.They did a fantastic job on our fence and left everything looking clean-no mess at all! I asked them to get the fence as close to the ground as possible because my daughter has a small dog, and I didn't want to worry about her trying to squeeze underneath. They listened to my concern and worked hard to make sure it was just right.I couldn't be happier with the finished fence! They truly went above and beyond, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality work and people who genuinely care about their customers. Wonderful job! ❤️

Nick and his team did an excellent job replacing my mailbox and hauling the old one away. They were quick, efficient, professional, and very friendly throughout the entire process. Communication was great from start to finish, and their pricing was very cost effective for something that was very solid and uniquely designed just for my needs. Everything was done smoothly and in a timely manner. Highly recommend them if you’re looking for reliable, quality service!

Jason and his crew were great to work with very punctual with time for coming out for estimate and start work. It wasn’t a huge job but treated us like it was very happy with everything glad to know there’s a younger generation out there that take there business seriously and provide quality work thanks again Brian&Tracey

Nick and his crew did an exceptional job. They had the task of replacing a fence that was only in for 2 years but was nothing but trouble! They were good enough to save and separate the existing fence so we could let someone else use the good pieces. It was much appreciated. Nick’s fence materials were so much sturdier than what we had. They were installed in a way that we have no doubt that it will last for many years. All crew members were very respectful and friendly. It was an overall great experience. I would highly recommend Perfect Picket for your next fence installation.

This review is long overdue. Nick was super easy to work with throughout the entire process. The western red cedar fence looks fantastic. There were a couple small issues after inspecting the fence, and Nick chose to come out and finish everything up and make sure it was perfect even though it was Thanksgiving Day. He went above and beyond our expectations and I would highly recommend him and his crew!
