⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️I had a black chain link fence installed and couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. From start to finish, the team was professional and easy to work with—no pressure at all during the estimate, which I really appreciated. The installation was quick, clean, and done right the first time. The fence looks great and adds a nice touch to the yard. Highly recommend!!

My experience with Perfect Picket was nothing short of fantastic! Nick was great to work with from the very beginning! He answered all of my questions in a timely manner and was very communicative. He kept me in the loop with scheduling and where they were at within the prep process.I changed my mind on fence style last minute and I am so so glad I did! I chose the red cedar, cap and trim, board on board style, stained in chestnut. Let me tell you, I am absolutely OBSESSED!! It may be the most beautiful fence I’ve ever seen and I find myself just staring at it in admiration.Nick’s team, Alex and Ryder, did such an amazing job. They clarified how I wanted everything to look before they started and constructed this fence beautifully. They paid such great attention to detail and made special trips back to make touch ups to the stain, where needed. Areas on the fence that not even I noticed needed touching up.I would hire Nick and his team every time. This project wasn’t cheap but with the work Perfect Picket does, it is worth every penny! I look forward to having them back in the future for phase 2 of my project!!

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.”

They were great. They came and worked in very cold conditions to put up my chain link fence that I needed for my American Eskimo dog. It looks wonderful and my dog is happy to have a place to run free without getting lost. They really did a great job .

I am so glad that I called Perfect Picket first. I needed a falling apart wooden fence replaced. Nick was very friendly and efficient. I got exactly the fence I needed in a timely manner. The crew who put up the fence were great. They checked in a few times to explain what they were doing and in the end to make sure that I was completely satisfied. They hauled away the old fence as part of the deal.

I contacted Nick for a quote but was uncertain about the fence style I wanted. When Nick arrived, he introduced a new style he was developing, and we decided to go with it immediately. We had two sections that just needed closed off with neighbors fence, Nick suggested just using chain link to tie into theirs.We scheduled the work for the following year and have been delighted with it since last spring. Although we encountered some issues with the new style, Nick stood by his work and personally came to address them. I highly recommend Nick and his team for anyone seeking a fence. Thank you! We have received many compliments on the fence!

Every step of the process with Perfect Picket was an enjoyable experience. They came down and gave me a consultation and price quote on the same day I called. From there, everything was done with great communication and transparency as they let us know weekly when the project would begin and what it would look like. Nick called and gave us a notice one week in advance of when they would start the project. They completed the project in one day and made sure we were completely satisfied before leaving. I would highly recommend Perfect Picket and Stain for all of your fencing needs!

Nick and his crew were absolutely great to work with from the estimation to the completion of our fence. They even chased a dog down the road that they thought was ours (which it wasnt). That's going above and beyond! Great people, HIGHLY recommended!!

This garden fence exceeded all our expectations. The materials feel high-quality, durable, and reinforced to last throughout all seasons for years to come.It adds a beautiful, polished look to our yard while still feeling natural and unobtrusive. It provides great privacy and security, but still allows the garden to feel open and welcoming. Installation was well communicated, straightforward, and timely. Overall, this fence has completely elevated the look of our garden. We couldn’t be happier with the purchase and service from Perfect Picket Fence and Stain. We would highly recommend them!
