The quality of fence he installed is far better than the old fence I had.Michael RueberMichael Rueber ★★★★★ Perfect Picket built a cedar privacy fence in our backyard.

The quality of materials and craftsmanship are truly outstanding.Corys PaintingCorys Painting ★★★★★ We had a few challenging aspects to consider when planning for the fence we wanted to have installed.

Turn around time for completion of the project was outstanding. We love our Perfect Picket fence!Zach FischelsZach Fischels ★★★★★ Perfect Picket exceeded our expectations! Working with Perfect Picket, I can tell Nick and his team care deeply about their customers, the fences they build, and the experience they provide. The initial proposal was more in-depth, thoughtful, and helpful than what I received from any other company I got estimates from. Even my HOA commented on the proposal as being the best they had ever seen! Before and throughout the build, the level of communication from Nick was excellent. I could tell that quality was top of mind for him the entire way. We are very satisfied with the final product and would recommend Perfect Picket to anyone looking for a high quality, yet competitively priced fencing solution!Brian HigginsBrian Higgins ★★★★★ Nick and his crew demonstrated a level of professionalism and attention to detail that you just don't find in the contracting world. The work he did was as described at a fair price and he was excellent with his communication. A real pleasant experience and I would not hesitate to recommend Perfect Picket.Christina CarpenterChristina Carpenter ★★★★★ Nick was prompt delivering our quote and very professional. Nothing but positive things to say! Highly recommend.Kelsey BourbeauKelsey Bourbeau ★★★★★ We cannot praise Perfect Picket, led by the meticulous owner Nick, enough for their exceptional service. From the moment we had our consultation, it was evident that Nick truly understood and paid attention to our specific needs, delivering exactly what we envisioned - no more, no less.The level of detail and quality in their work is outstanding. The installation team was efficient and skilled, and even our neighbors have complimented how great our fence looks. Nick’s keen eye for perfection shone through during the entire process. There were instances where he spotted imperfections that I would have missed, and he made sure to address them promptly.Our (massive) dog is over the moon with the new fence, and we share the sentiment. The project was completed in record time, from the initial quote to the final install. Nick takes the time to truly understand his customers and their unique requirements. We had consulted with a few other companies, but none were as detail-oriented as Nick. He thoroughly explained every aspect and ensured the highest possible quality.Nick lives by the motto “can we do better?” and he and his team certainly do. They strive for excellence, making sure every detail is perfected. Nick is an outstanding business owner who goes above and beyond to provide exactly what his customers need. As an example, the manufacturer was out of a necessary part to complete the installation— Nick had a makeshift solution and visited our house on separate occasions to ensure that the short-term solution was up-to-par. He also individualized a video for us that allowed us to better understand how to work our gates.We’re beyond thrilled with Perfect Picket and would recommend them in a heartbeat!Valerie ShowmanValerie Showman ★★★★★ We couldn’t be more pleased with our steel fence by Perfect Picket! Nick is so personable and professional! They made sure everything was perfect the whole way through! Having just built a home, we’ve dealt with a number of contractors and Perfect Picket was by far our favorite! We joke that we hope they are on to building homes by the time we build our next one. 😉Elke Simmer GerdesElke Simmer Gerdes ★★★★★ Thank you Perfect Picket for the quick install and mailbox suggestion. It’s well perfect. Professional with great communication on even the smallest of job. Looking forward to using Nick and his team in the future and recommending them to others!Benny SalceBenny Salce ★★★★★ I contacted perfect picket fence for a estimate after purchasing a home they came gave me a estimate being late in the year didn’t know if I could get it installed after being turned away by other contractors they were very professional and gave me several options of fencing and ideas we agreed on fencing and layout and installed it a week later after new years day completed the fence in one day start to finish doing a excellent job very straight and even no mess whatsoever when they finished it looked like the fence had been there all along they did an excellent job I would highly recommend them for any type of fencingjs_loader
