Perfect Picket helped me to create good solutions for my unique fencing needs.

The most respectful and professional group of guys. From the initial estimate and planning the way through the final day, their communication was absolutely wonderful. They even sent weekly updates so I always knew where our job was on the list, which I really appreciated.They did a fantastic job on our fence and left everything looking clean-no mess at all! I asked them to get the fence as close to the ground as possible because my daughter has a small dog, and I didn't want to worry about her trying to squeeze underneath. They listened to my concern and worked hard to make sure it was just right.I couldn't be happier with the finished fence! They truly went above and beyond, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality work and people who genuinely care about their customers. Wonderful job! ❤️

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!

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!
Caleb Bendull

Perfect Picket was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The whole process was very easy and the fence is very high quality. Nick came and gave us multiple options to fit our space. Once we decided what worked best for us he sent us the amount and got the instillation scheduled. A short time after a crew came and installed the entire fence in a day. Super easy and hassle free. I would absolutely recommend Perfect Picket to anyone needing a fence.

I can't emphasize enough what great customer service we received from Nick and his team at Perfect Picket Fence and Stain.We installed an unfinished cedar cap and trim fence around our entire backyard. It is so wonderful to step into the backyard and have complete privacy while I'm gardening or drinking my morning tea. Then, you add the wonderful scent of the natural cedar...pure bliss!So, not only are we happy with the finished result, but we are amazed at the care and consideration given to us when an issue came up months after the installation. Our landscaper accidentally bumped and cracked one of the facing boards. I sent a text/photo to Nick explaining the situation. He responded promptly, stating he would be happy to replace it at no charge! Say what?!!This is the best of the best companies for customer service, bar none!If you are on the fence, (pun intended😊), about which company to choose for your fence installation, look no further. You've found the best in Perfect Picket Fence and Stain!Thank you Nick! You are SO appreciated!

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.

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!

Overall great experience! Nick communicated well through the whole process, helped me understand every possible way the fence could be done, and didn’t push me in decision making. Alex and Jason did a great job building the fence and were really efficient. From quote to build, the process only took 13 days. All were super friendly and professional. Would 100% do business with Perfect Picket again!
