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 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.

Nick and his crew were extremely personable and thorough. We wanted our pool fenced in for safety but also wanted something that would look nice and withstand the extreme weather/wind we get here. The ornamental steel looks great! Highly recommend Perfect Picket for your fence project!

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

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.

Perfect Picket is very easy to work with and very professional. It didn't take long for the fence to be installed and it looks awesome. I had a stained cedar fence put in. Glad I went with this company!

Great experience!When we reached out about a quote, we fully expected to have to wait - for a response, for a quote, and for installation. This was 110% NOT the case with Perfect Picket Fence and Stain.They were quick to stop by and provide a quote. Then, when we changed our minds (twice), they obliged with no hesitation. And finally, when it came time to scheduling an install date, their availability worked perfectly with our schedule.Installation day proved to be one of the hottest, most humid days of the summer, but it didn’t seem to bother the three gentlemen working in our fence at all. They arrived on time, confirmed how the fence should be laid out, and got right to work. They were efficient, hard working, respectful, and just all around a good group of guys.The end result is precisely what we wanted and the final price was exactly as quoted. We couldn’t be more pleased.

A huge THANK YOU to Nick and his crew for putting up an amazing fence!! The look and location have transformed my backyard completely compared to the previous fence that was installed by another contractor. Cost and quality of work is right on point and I 100% recommend them. Photos from before and after included to see the fantastic difference. Thank you again Perfect Picket!!

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.

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.

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.
