I want to give Perfect Picket Fence all the stars you have!! They built a cedar fence for my backyard that has the neighbors all coming over to look! Watching them work, it is obvious they are fussy about what they’re doing and the results show it. Good team!And they had a real challenge working around all the landscaping on both sides. Clean up is excellent too.I’ve never been excited about a fence before but if you are thinking about one you will be happy you chose these guys!

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!

Nicholas was great to work with from the very beginning! Very professional and personable, and he explained every step of the process and answered all questions we had. His team installed our black vinyl-coated chain-link fence in just over 3 hrs. The quality of work was definitely worth the investment and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results! We would definitely recommend Perfect Picket Fence and Stain to all of our friends and family. Our dog, Birdie, is living her best life!!!

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!!

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!

Perfect Picket Fence & Stain installed our fence on schedule, without mess, and on budget. Then several months later out of the blue, they gave us a very nice planter made out of fencing material along with a very beautiful mum. Just their way of saying thank you. Very Classy. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a new or replacement fence.

Can’t say enough great things about Perfect Picket Fence and Stain, Nicholas and his team! We were very impressed with Nicholas when he came over to estimate the cost of our area to be fenced. Very professional, very focused and very knowledgeable. We were so glad that we went with him and we are so happy with the results! My husband is very picky and they were able to meet his satisfaction and then some! The team that came in to do the job were excellent, we were impressed with everything they did…such friendly guys and willing to please - don’t see that so much anymore. We highly recommend them to anyone!

We hired Nick and his team at Perfect Picket to install a vinyl fence to enclose our backyard. The final results have amazed us. The fence is lined up perfectly, has amazing curb appeal and exceeds our expectations. Nick and his team went above and beyond to make sure everything about the fence was perfect and it is. I highly recommend Perfect Picket Fence to anyone that wants a quality fence installed by people that really care about you and your satisfaction with the work they do. I cannot say enough about the wonderful experience of working with Nick and his team at Perfect Picket.

Perfect Picket Fence did a great job not only installing the fence but helping with the design and fabrication. I would recommend them to anyone. Thanks Nick and the Perfect Picket Fence crew.

Had a great experience with Perfect Picket. Nicholas was professional, organized, and knowledgeable, and his crew was prompt and fast at their work.We have an older but serviceable fence that was damaged by recent storms and just needed repair, and I was not pressured to have it replaced. In fact, the first question asked was whether we wanted to quote repair, replacement, or both, and when I said repair there was no more discussion on the matter. The estimate was done on the spot and also emailed to me with the option to accept the bid electronically, and it matched the final cost. Compare that to the other company I asked for a quote; they came out but never sent me an estimate.There was a small miscommunication on the repair that required the crew to come back to complete, but the way it was handled speaks to Nicholas' professionalism.
