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!

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.

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!

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!

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.
Joe Breakenridge

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!

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!
