James

We could not be more delighted and pleased with our new cedar fence and stain. Nick took time and care crafting a design that fit into the style of our home, landscape, and life with three dogs. He kept us updated regularly on the installation timeline. The crew was just as attentive to build quality as Nick was to the design of the fence. We can recommend them highly enough.
Alex

I had a contractor who didn’t complete His job and then ghosted me. I’m so thankful for Nick being able to finish it up. I wished I would have known him before all my headaches started with the other guy. I learned the hard ways to not go with a fly be night person. Nick went beyond what he needed to do. If I can afford more fencing it will only be by Nick. I cannot thank you enough Nick

We had Nicholas replace another section of our fence due to storm damage. His prices were once again very affordable and within a week after the storm our damaged fence was replaced. Will definitely work with him again on future fence replacements.

Nicholas and the crew did a great job. We had a 4 ft transition to 8 ft vinyl fence installed between our driveway and the neighbors and they went above and beyond what was expected. Nick was very transparent in what was involved and kept us informed of any delays or glitches. Very important. I would highly recommend Perfect Picket Fence and Stain for your next fence project.
Dan Steele
Dan Steele
Nick and his crew did a fantastic job on my backyard fence. I originally had planned on installing a far more expensive fence, but Nick showed me why my yard wasn't configured for such a fence. This was a clear example of his integrity. They communicated with me every step of the way and bent over backwards to get the job done ASAP. The price was very reasonable. These guys are real pros. I won't go with anyone else for my fencing needs. I love my new fence.Dan Steele

Nick and the crew installed a black vinyl chain link fence at our new house a few weeks ago. Our previous house had a black vinyl chain link fence that was damaged in a recent storm. New owners hadn’t taken possession yet so we needed a repair quickly. Nick got there first thing next morning and by the end of the week excellent repairs were made. Great people and great service.

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 .
Harper Hartmann

This is the 2nd fence they’ve done for us, and we can’t recommend Perfect Picket enough. Nicolas is such a great guy and came out right away when we asked for a consultation, and the building of the fence didn’t start much longer after that. The guys on his crew were super friendly and knowledgeable. We are in love with our new fence - 10/10
Andrew Scott

Nick and his team were great to work with. He discussed the materials thoroughly and answered all of our questions. When they got to work, it was done quickly and accurately. My wife and I have peace of mind knowing their team is always available for any maintenance questions that may come up in the future. We love our mahogany-stained cedar privacy fence and will continue to recommend Perfect Picket to all of our friends!Edit: Had Nick and his team come back for some add-ons to the fence. Just like the first time, super friendly and easy to work with. Day of install, his teams went above and beyond to make a great looking fence even better. Will continue to recommend to anyone who wants any fencing work done!

Nick and the guys did a fantastic job. I struggled to find someone that was available to fix my chain link and install a privacy fence. Nick was quick to return my call and come over for a consultation. He got me right on his schedule and did a great job. My fence is beautiful and I couldn’t be happier!
Jacob Sapp
